He barked at the other wolves and they each moved a little distance from her, protecting and watching her, but not so close she her eyes were wide with distress. Magnus nodded and turned from her, once again squared off with his challenger. He and Kenneth circled each other warily, Magnus concentrating wholly on watching for the first move by his opponent. It came without warning, but he was ready anyway. The other wolf sprang through the air and Magnus leapt to the side, spinning in almost the same motion to launch his own attack.

He landed against the other wolf and knocked him into a roll. With another opponent that would have been enough to give Magnus the upper hand, at least for a Run With the Moon © 2006 Lucy Monroe - 17

They met midair, locking onto each other with sharp fore-claws and even sharper teeth.

Had she been wrong? Was he abandoning the challenge? She looked to the left and right. She didn't want these wolves. She would fight them herself before she would lie on her side for one of them. But her wolf hadn't left. He'd only run far enough to give him momentum as he ran back toward the other wolf, going airborne just before reaching the challenger. He rolled the other wolf again, but this time, he got on top before the other wolf could get up.
