Sabine gasped in fright at the sight of Ri'vashi. Her ears burned, recognising exactly why Ri'vashi was before them. Sabine place a hand on Do'rhajul's arm to step in between him and Ri'vashi, keeping her fearful eyes fixed on the sword now pointing at her.

"Ri'vashi," Sabine said, her voice shivering. "Put away your sword. Rhajul is under my protection."

Any small movement from Ri'vashi made Sabine's hand twitch. She did not think she could convince Ri'vashi to back down so easily. At the same time, Ri'vashi was a friend to the pack. They had known one another for a long time. Sabine dreaded the thought of using magic against her. But she was prepared to.
