First Time?

Kotori was patrolling, both the border of the territory, further inside to get used to all the sights and scents of his temporary home, and even slightly outside the boundary for any threats that were too near the territory.  A snarl erupted in his throat when he caught the scent of a bear that had actually got on the land! Kotori was running towards the scent of bear before he even put thought to it.  It was one thing when the bears were outside of the land you protect but an insult if they make it into pack turf.

Kotori saw the bear and the younger wolf that was charging toward it.  Kotori let out a sharp “Hey!” it was aimed at the bear but the one word could be thought either way.  The horned wolf had only wanted to pull the bear's attention away from the other wolf but it only flicked an ear at the wolf.  It would change its mind fast.

Kotori reached the bear, even as it swung a paw for the kid.  Kotori grabbed its other arm in his mouth, crunching down and shaking his head.  There was plenty of fur and thick skin in the way but he felt his teeth dig through flesh and the taste of blood and the feel of the muscle underneath.  Suddenly the kid was forgotten as the bear twisted its waist about, attempting to use its raised paw to strike Kotori instead.  The wolf wasn’t fool enough to let the paw hit him though, releasing his grip and moving out of the way.  Good, its attention was away from the kid now.
