Always A Reason For The Pain [INVADERS]

THE WOLVES WILL CHASE YOU IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT
Drunk and driven by a devil's hunger...

Harbringr had taken the night patrol shift on a cold and moonless night. The sky was clear and covered in twinkling stars but there was a distinct chill in the wind and he shuddered. At least he only had an hour or so left. Harbringr plodded along with his companions in tow, slowing when he thought he saw a dark shadow moving amongst the trees. He paused, ears flicking forward. There it was again, another shadow and something… big. His hackles raised and his first thought was maybe that it was a bear. They'd be emerging from their hibernation this season, waking into still cold weather with limited prey options. A brave bear would brave the packs border for food.

The snow crunched beneath large paws as a massive dire wolf appeared, far taller than even Sirius. Another appeared behind that one and then another. He found himself staring at a pack of dire wolves moving toward the border. Harbringr threw back his head and released an urgent warning call. At that moment a pale dire wolf leapt for him. Hari dodged to the side and sank his fangs into his opponents back leg in a glancing blow, trying to avoid getting pinned by his opponent.
