In moments Judas body collided with the smaller canines, their smaller bodies offering them the advantage of moving quickly. One grabbed his shoulder, the other along his side, anywhere they could manage. Yet Judas wasn't so slow himself as he was tall and long legged and so he was quick to swing his body around in a circle, hoping to push back the coyote at his side and at the same time reach out to his other side and snag the coyote who had bit him on his shoulder. The aim was to grab him by the side of the neck and hold and if successful, shake his body vigorously in order to tear good at the coyotes flesh.

At this point another one of his packmates arrived, taking his attention to the other coyote who had attacked him. No longer would it be two against one and at these odds, one coyote to one wolf was not in the trespassers favor. As Judas attention was on his opponent it took a moment to realize exactly who it was who had come to his aid. From the moment he had met Aytigin he had not liked the male. It had been obvious his health had been failing, he was out of sorts and had baggage, a weak link... Perhaps the large wolf only helped because Judas was pack but either way it helped Judas think a little better of him.
