It's then that my wolf instincts take over, and everything becomes a blur of senses and instincts. The two men, their eyes filled with hostility, quickly begin to stalk toward me. But my gaze is fixed on Abby, laying motionless in the corner.
“I'm here, Abby,” | think to myself. “I won't let these fuckers hurt you.”
Time seems to slow down as | prepare mentally for the impending fight. The scent of pine and snow fills the air, along with the metallic tang of adrenaline. My heart races, and my muscles tense, ready for battle.

The other man seizes the opportunity to attack, lunging at my exposed side and biting my hind leg. | shake my leg forcefully, forcing him to let go with a howl of pain.
With a fierce growl, | charge at the first man again, slashing the air with my claws. He dodges and we circle each other, waiting for a chance to strike.
