Qing Tian growled, his claws flexing. "This has nothing to do with me! Someone must be attacking our guards!"
Viker Kim, the leader of the Bloodmoon Wolf Clan, growled low in his throat, his sharp eyes gleaming with suspicion. "It better not be your tigers messing up again, Qing Tian."
Serong Yu, the Black Serpent Tribe leader, hissed angrily, his forked tongue flicking out. "Let's go see who dares to attack us."
