The two wolves took one another in their fangs, the larger beast had gone low and taken the black female at the upper foreleg, and she his shoulder. From there, the burlier creature had the strength advantage, and drove the both of them deeper into the territory with its hind-legs. Using its lower hold on her, it pushed forward, and rose, getting its center of gravity beneath hers, and toppling the two of them down to earth. Her fangs tore at its skin, but short of a quick flash of pain and a tuft of its own bloody hair coming away with her teeth, it was not slowed down.
The positioning was awkward, the beast's jaws had to release the leg to take its attacks at her face--its favorite tactic--but doing so would allow her to regain her feet faster. As large as it was, it brought its foes beneath it as quickly as possible, to kill them there. That was the method it used in its battle with Cwmfen and many others, now. It had killed Cinder's parents after dragging them into the dirt, putting its weight on them to prevent their regaining their feet and killing them from the top, dominant position. This time, the female had managed--whether on accident or because of experience--to prevent herself from being taken down squarely beneath the massive figure, landing near its side. The predator released its hold and quickly began snapping at her, hoping to kill or wound. It side-stepped with its shoulder, hoping to balk her attempts to rise. A few more moments, and it could have her neck.
