Tharin rose to his challenge, even exhausted and bleeding as he was, adament that he get the pup to safety. With a sigh Augustus admitted defeat. "No, brother..." His ears fell flat to his skull and he reached over idly to lap roughly at Tharin's chin. An apology of sorts, though the touch was not a gentle one. Augustus was not a gentle man. He watched sadly as his brother limped past him, wishing there was something he could have done. Vainly hoping that he could have been there to protect him, to fight by his side and shield him from harm. But how was he to know the tawny wolf would be so brash and unthinking?
His gaze turned to the pup and reluctantly he stalked towards her. She was a small thing and he nosed her so he could get a better grip, that was when he saw the leg. He gave a sniff and his tongue lapped at it, but it was entirely useless. He wondered what it was the woman had done to her, and what she might be doing to Kiara's young son, Kohaku. From the looks of it, it couldn't be anything good. Kohaku was Kiara's, and that made him a wolf of New Dawn, Augustus would die fighting if it brought him back, if it avenged his injured sisters. His relations with the most of them were less than cordial, but they were pack. That made them his blood, and he protected those of his blood. It was the man's one redeeming quality. And for as long as he held on to it, his heart would never be lost.
His jaws parted and he carefully took the whelp. He tried his level best not to wake her, and trotted up beside Tharin, rubbing his side against him for added support. They would make it to the den together.
