She may not have that mental connection with Lukas and Piper but she knew that there was trouble from the way they called out. She stopped running, lifting her nose to the air to ascertain the situation and to pinpoint exactly where the two wolves were. She heard them before they could jump her. Four... no, five wolves. Her eyes darted to the sides. The wolves began closing in on her. She had nowhere to run. There was nothing left to do but to face them head on. She bared her teeth at them, a low growl in her throat. She swiped at the first to lunge at her, catching it in the eye. Blinded, it staggered backwards from her. But the distraction of dealing with the first one left her open for attacks. Two wolves simultaneously jumped at her, one of them sank its teeth in her nape while the other bit down on her hind leg. She growled with the pain as she tried to shake them off. A new pain blossomed in her side as she felt sharp claws slash her open. She staggered forward, her teeth tearing at the wolf closest to her mouth. It yelped in pain but she bit down hard and refused to let go. Another wolf came down upon her and her legs buckled beneath her. [color=palevioletred][i]Alex...[/i][/color]
