It was just a peek

Briar saw Lia skitter away out of the corner of her eye and was glad that she was at least out of the thick of the fight and she wouldn't have to worry about her getting hurt in the crossfire. It allowed her to focus on the attacker instead who she managed to successfully knock to the ground while her teeth bit deep into his foreleg. Before she could do anything else, she felt his jaws latch on to one of her antlers and suddenly she was being yanked to the ground, the larger brute pulling her off of her feet and making her wince as her side was slammed into the ground. She kept her hold on his upper foreleg, her teeth tearing and biting deeper the more he tossed her around until he rolled to put her under him. Him slamming her head into the ground made stars dance across her vision and knocking her loose from his foreleg. As she was regaining her bearings Lia darted in from the side and went to leave a bite near his rump and that gave her the split second distraction she needed to regroup.

She shifted under him and with her claws extended she kicked hard with her back legs up into his lower stomach with a snarl on her lips and a burning anger in her gaze. She had never really understood the lengths her father would go through to protect the wolves he thought of as his, but now she kind of began to understand. It had always been a given that she would have done anything to protect her family, but Lia was under her protection now. She was important to her so of course she would do anything to protect her as well. Just a beat after kicking him in the stomach she lunged forward to head butt him just as hard, the sharpened crown of antlers around the edges of her helmet stabbing across his brow in the process.
