"Dusk, no! Go away!"
Dusk was not like Seren. He was a predator on a similar level of savagery as the wolves, and by nature, fierce animals were bound to fight to the death whenever they attacked. Bloodlust immediately permeated the air, and anger could be seen in the eyes of the wolves. Drayce didn't want to see his pet hurt and finally pulled his sword out of his scabbard, but one of them managed to hit the eagle with its sharp nails, causing the bird to be slapped away.
"No!," she cried out. "Dusk!"
The eagle fell at Seren's feet. Seren crouched to hold his bleeding body, not even realizing how her arms shook. Dusk couldn't manage to get up despite his efforts, but it was letting out a weak croon as if to show he still wanted to protect his queen on the verge of death.
