Barely Breathing

A huge black wolf was in front of me protecting me like a shield. He hissed at the cream she-wolf who currently had her fangs on the black wolf's shoulder. The black wolf, though injured, didn't fight back instead he whimpered.

I know this wolf!

"Carter!" I almost shouted unbelievingly. He had defended me against Ehren. But why?

Ehren removed her fangs on his shoulder and hesitantly stepped back. She growled at him, a warning to step away from me. I lowered my gaze to the ground and noticed blood tainted the trimmed grass into red. Carters!

He growled back with the same fervor and totally hide my view from Ehren's cream wolf, pacing a short distance. She didn't take it nicely though and prepared to attack the black wolf.

When they were both about to lunge at each other, I didn't think twice as I shifted mid-air and jumped towards them which definitely was a bad move but it was too late.

Just when I thought I would be hit by them, a red wolf, scarlet fur as blood came on top of me and growled terrifyingly that even my wolf felt coward by the mere sound of it. Momentarily stopping the two from attacking each other and me.

I tried to get out under him but he growled at me and nudged my side. For once, I obeyed him which surprised me a lot but thought it would not be best to anger him more.

I sneak a glance at Ehren and noticed she was now in human form dressed in a plain big shirt and kneeled at the ground with head leveled low. Xyrus must have ordered them to shift back.

Gabbiel came to view and push Ehren towards the packhouse rather roughly. She narrowed her eyes at him but obeyed eventually. Carter too, followed them inside. Even the pack members were walking away one by one. What was happening?
