Things should be fluid and under control, but Halo had already discovered that there was no control now. He was too close. Too close, was all that she could think when the handle of the sword hit his bulky form to no use. Blood tickled her nostrils and she resisted an urge to sneeze and wrinkle her muzzle. What was wrong with her? Her arm burned and it terrified her that she did not have the time to check out the injury. There was no time for anything. His orange gaze glowed with anger now, and her own seemed to be feeling up with that darkness that could lock down a person’s body with trembling shivers fuelled by that deceitful fear. She couldn’t let this continue. His front limbs remained intact and she almost believed him to be retreating when he shot back at her. His fangs were suddenly too close and she turned her face away from the sharp teeth when they went for her skin. She felt the skin break on her cheek and held her breath, realizing that she could die. She could not turn into a statue – not now! Kaena’s voice suddenly rang in her ears and she pushed her sword in-between herself and the enormous wolf and let it swing threatening against his chest as she stepped backwards. Suddenly the blade twisted unexpectedly and shot at his face before she turned and gathered all the speed there was to carry her away from this beast and back to Inferni. She believed she had felt a pinch of resistance when she had waved her sword’s sharp edge in the male’s face, but she did not pause to check. It was over.
