His plan might have been a good one if Remi had shifted sooner, but the ensuing chaos caused by a frozen hawk becoming a frozen lion destroyed all plans. Even so it might not have been so bad if he'd been a larger animal, but the wolf's hock slamming into his jaw was enough to stun the little canine, and he stumbled back on unsteady paws.
The third wolf pounced before he could recover, jaws closing anew over the white fox's already-wounded shoulder. He let out a high pitched "Yipe!" and scrabbled ineffectually at the larger predator, trying again to nip at its eye - the only target remotely in reach given his size and the increasing severity of his injuries.
Vervain's arrival went unnoticed in his panic, even Remi's lion-form banished from his thoughts by the life-or-death struggle he found himself in, feeling jagged teeth sink deeper into flexing muscles and scraping off bone as his shoulder compressed to the breaking point beneath the steel-trap pressure of the wolf's powerful jaws.
