And shit hits the fan! :o 300+
His smirk made her pupils contract even more than they had been moments before. Who did this weak little stick think he was? Did he think her and her pack a bunch of weak fools? "Yes, unnecessary. Perhaps it is a word you do not know," she sneered. Any leader with half a brain in their head would have taken the road of diplomacy before barging in and starting a conflict. Maybe a war was exactly what this sickly rodent king wanted. His speech and manner certainly spoke in that favor. Her suspicions were confirmed by his voice—they had come looking for the family that had fled to the sanctuary of her home. One brow arched above the other at his misguided beliefs however. "Kidnapper? Sciocco, how can a man kidnap his own brood? They sought refuge in my pack. Refuge from you." Savina did not know the family personally, but Anu believed they were worth protecting and that was all the Consul needed to know.
What came next made her heart stall in her chest though, only to be quickly pushed into overdrive with a surge of fresh anger. Anu and Fia were brought forward, clearly abused. Her blood seemed to burn through her veins. How dare they. How dare they. They had taken their own captive, but he had been treated fairly. Her son had questioned him, yes, but he had not been harmed in any physical manner. The same could not be said of these savages. Leonard spoke to her, requested permission to attack. One of the AniWayans was clearly asking to do the same favor even if she couldn't understand the tongue he spoke in. Maska told her not to be foolish, and her acidic gaze connected with his sickly one. "That description applies to you bastardo, not me." Her patience was thin as a film over water.
And then it broke. The smell of blood was in the air as her niece attacked one of her captors and another stepped forward and snapped a whip at the girl. Enough, a dark voice inside commanded. The only warning signs were a bristling of her hackles and a deep growl that grew steadily from her chest. Strong legs propelled the Marino forward with impressive speed and power. She leaped, a fearsome snarl on her face, and took the AniWayan with the whip full in the chest. His body fell hard against the packed earth and she wasted not a moment. Her jaws found his throat and clamped down like a vice. Thick neck arched and she pulled his windpipe free of his body, hot blood spattering her face and chest. Negotiations were over. Now there would only be blood.
