CHIN UP

Enyo’s lips curled ever so slightly, her gaze locking onto Nikolaos as Erebros called him out. The surge of adrenaline in the cave was palpable. The scent of anticipation clung to the air, making it tense. She relished it. The opportunity to demonstrate her dominance, especially over one who had shown such foolishness, was far too sweet to pass up.

Nikolaos stood rigid, his muscles tensed as he awaited her approach, but there was something beneath his posture... fear, or perhaps arrogance? It didn’t matter. Enyo would make sure it was extinguished. With deliberate steps, she moved toward him, her towering figure casting a shadow over the younger male. “You have embarrassed the Dunamis,” she growled, her voice deep and unforgiving.

Nikolaos didn’t have a chance to respond before Enyo lashed out. Her powerful jaws snapped around the back of his neck, her crushing force pressing him into the stone floor beneath them. A low, rumbling growl emanated from her chest, vibrating through his body as she held him there, not enough to draw blood, but enough to remind him who was in charge. His legs buckled slightly under her strength, and she could feel his pulse quicken. With a snarl, she released him.

She flicked her head toward her brother, silently acknowledging that Nikolaos had learned his lesson, at least for now. "Stand. If you can," she said coldly.

“Let this be a reminder to you all,” Enyo said, her eyes sweeping over the gathered wolves, her tone hardening once more. “I will not tolerate incompetence. Nikolaos is fortunate today. Next time, the consequences will be far worse.”

Without missing a beat, she moved back to the cave's center, her form regaining its composure as if nothing had happened. "Now, Kronos with Nikolaos. Atticus with Erebros." she barked, her voice commanding and sharp, "Now, pair off. Each of you will spar with your partner until I say otherwise. No holding back."

The wolves shuffled into position, muscles taut and bracing for what was to come. Enyo watched with a critical eye, ready to pick out the weaknesses and strengths of her brothers as they squared off.
