Fallen Tree Cove Purified

Thank you for participating in this pack event! This is the final round and you may post exits if you like or use my post as a fade.

Round and round the Cove wolves took their turns in torturing their captive invader, the sound of snapping jaws and thunderous growls filling the evening sky. One wolf striking forward to narrowly miss the flesh covering rear ankles of the feline while another distracted the claws and fangs from the front. Each time their prisoner hoping to land a blow with each mighty swing of its heavy front paws, claws unsheathed in defense with intent on snagging a canine face. Yet, the wolf at its rear always kept it on its toes forcing the cat to constantly spin itself ragged in circles to defend itself. Never capable of stealing a moment's breath.

As the last rays of daylight began to die, it was obvious the lynx was weary with exhaustion. Its gray-brown sides heaving heavily while salmon tongue lolled over exposed fangs in a pant whenever a hiss of dissatisfaction didn't pass over it. It had taken those gathered time to wear down their quarry, but the end was finally here for the intruder. Vespertio's golden gaze sparkled in the dying light as it became apparent now would be the time to end this for good. This beast had little to no fight left now meaning the chances of injury greatly diminished. All they had to do now was strike now and strike hard.

Creamy limbs propelled forward with jaws parted widely, a menacing growl erupting from his throat while audits swiftly pressed against his skull to protect themselves. An ear piercing scream filled the twilight air as his canines sunk into the furred shoulder of his enemy, the metallic tang of fresh pumped blood oozing into his mouth from the freshly induced wounds. Shaking his head to and fro the patriarch attempted to tear this cat limb from limb, paws braced against the earth to keep himself steady. Another scream escaped the lynx as it tried to escape its inevitable demise, but exhaustion and the pain from its inflicted wound did little to help its cause. With his grip as solid as steel, he held on while ears picked up the cacophony of his subordinates dealing their own blows. 

Under the bombardment of all three wolves the struggle was short lived before Vespertio felt the life essence fade then burn out completely. Only then did he dare release his jaws, stepping back to lick the crimson tinted hairs that lined his leathery lips. Panting, a single glance was given to the now lifeless corpse before turning to Pharika and Kajika in turn, a nod given where words were yet to be spoken as his lungs worked overtime to bring his body the oxygen it needed. "You've done well in defending your home which I greatly appreciate. Let's bring this rug home, yes?" A playful smirk adorned his face momentarily before grabbing an end of the body to carry home, paws shifting to head back to the den where a place on the cold stone floor had this lynx's name written all over it.

The monochrome woman continued snapping, her brutish body teetering
forward and backward in accordance to the feline's attacks. Her chest heaves heavily as she tries to keep her
breathing steady, but the excitement that coursed through her veins made it arduous to do so. Chestnut eyes
center and remain locked on the lynx as it shrinks lower and lower to the cool soil below. The sun was bidding
its farewell for the day as the wolves moved in closer on the lynx. Pharika watches as her leader wraps his jaws
around the shoulder blades of the creature. Seizing her opportunity, the woman cranes her neck around, teeth
baring in the light of the moon. They meet the flesh of the lynx's neck, and the yowl the creature releases turns
into a sickly gargle.

She releases, allowing Vespertio to take the kill on from there. Within moments the feline is limp. Pharika's tail,
low in respect for her leader, flicks in pride. Her gaze flows from Vesper to Kajika, and she smiles softly. Coral
toned tongue runs over her dark lips, taste buds overwhelmed with the iron-like flavor of blood. Nodding her
head at Vesper's words, she speaks "It'll make a fine den liner for the winter." She winks slyly before
gripping the other end of the lynx to help bring it home....

Kajika’s breath came in heavy puffs as he exerted the effort it took the keep the Lynx right where they had found it and many threats and nips had been given to the cat. It was imperative that they keep the feline there so that it could not stray further into their lands and happen across the pups. Though Kajika still had his reservations about them he knew they were the future of the pack and needed to be protected. That as a subordinate was his duty and he fully intended to live up to that duty as he had promised Namid when she had accepted him into the pack. He wanted her and Vespertio to know that he was thankful for that chance and he felt that he could begin here. Then the time came for his alpha to dispatch the feline so that he would not have the chance to get away and cause further threat to the pups or the rest of the pack. Though it was sad to him that the lynx had to be killed he understood why and he did not regret what had to happen. It wasn’t just him he had to think of any longer and because his pack was in danger he had to accept what happened and there was even a small bit of pride if he were honest as the Lynx took its last breath. Pride that with the help of his alpha and other pack mates they had been able to stop the threat to their pack. He had been a part of that and it felt nice to do something for the pack other than scouting and hunting. Fade
