Let me know if you want it changed.

The male's snarl did not even phase Kiara. Although the two almost were equal in size, it was obvious that Kiara outweighed the scrawny male by several pounds. Not to mention he was severely injured and his internal wounds would prevent him from doing much damage to Kiara. Kiara was unsure as to how she should proceed. Despite her attempts, other than his silent glares, the white male had refused to even speak to Kiara. It was obvious the snow wolf's words angered the stranger, yet there seemed to be pain in his blue eyes. Kiara regretted trying to anger the male. It was obvious her words had stuck him in a way that she did not intend.

As another coughing fit ensued, all Kiara could do was watch hopelessly as the male spit up yet more blood. A small, worried whine escaped from her white lips. She did not like the way his breathing sounded, nor did she like the way his body shook from exhaustion. Before long, the white male fainted. The snow wolf could only watch, wide-eyed as the stranger collapsed on the ground. Now Kiara was whining in earnest, trying to wake the unconscious male. Gently Kiara prodded the side of his face with her wet nose, but the gesture did not seem to work. Raising her large head, the arctic wolf looked around, as if the answer she needed to help this male was nearby. A confused web of thoughts danced in Kiara's head, all vying for her attention. Should she go back to the pack and as for help? No, that would leave male defenseless to attacks from other predators. And if he should awake in her absence, then he would most likely believe he had been abandoned. But if she called for help then someone might be able to heal the injured male. What if those who came were not friendly? Kiara was not a hunter, not a fighter. She was not confident she could defend herself from any unfriendly luperci.

Finally, exasperated, the white female did the only thing she could. Kiara checked to make sure he was still breathing before she circled around to the males back. Kiara laid down on the grass and stretched her body so that her sides were touching the males back. Kiara would provide the male with a source of heat and watch over him. If the male should pass, then Kiara will have been there to witness it. If the male lived, then perhaps she could help him when he awoke. Until then, Kiara would simply wait.
