this summer's going to the dogs.

The teen winced as Ghita was socked and took a spill. Fortunately, she found her feet quickly—and her strategic strike had slowed the beast significantly. Everything was coming together. Leonard reacted quickly and opportunistically, with his jaws seeking purchase about the moose's outstretched forelimb and clamping down like a vice; meanwhile, Barrett gouged at the tender flesh of her belly, and the adept huntress launched another attack on the animal's flank. The hulking Jazper sprang out of nowhere to seal the deal, taking advantage of the secui's retractable claws in an attack that mimicked that of a bear or lion.

Their target was losing blood fast, but also growing increasingly desperate. She bucked wildly against the wolves' weight, but his teammates held steadfast. Leonard and Ghita nearly immobilised two of her legs; Jazper's bulk proved especially devastating and critical in slowing her down. They couldn't have set him up for a better strike. Barrett locked onto the fragile windpipe and leapt. Within a few more minutes, it was over. The creature crumpled to her knees, fell to her side, and suffocated to death. One of her free limbs kicked ineffectively right up until the bitter end. She would perish so they could live—such were the laws of the Wild.

Still, they were lucky... and he knew it. A handful of wolves taking down such an impressive beast was no small feat. The adolescent was still panting heavily when he released his grip, but his tail swung behind him as he glanced to each of the participants in turn. The success belonged to the team, the unit, and he felt a surge of respect for all of them and an overwhelming sense of triumph. It manifested in the form of a powerful howl, as he once more called to the Dreamers, inviting them all to dine with the hunters. The small squad would have plenty of time to eat their fill before the others arrived. For now, he quieted and began to tear enthusiastically into the fresh meat. There was more than enough room for them to feast side by side.
