The demon wolf’s Affair
Emma picks and weighs an axe in her hands and when she glances at me, I can see her imagining chopping me up with it.
A horn blows and she attacks immediately. Channelling the brute strength of her wolf, she swings her axe at me in dangerous curves. I am lighter on my feet and determined to stay beyond the reach of that destructive weapon. The rest of the wolves fade away from my view until it is just me and her and our dangerous dance. Sweat glides down my black as I swing my katanas, darting and retreating, jabbing again and again and opening little cuts on her body. They are not enough to slow her at all, but they are enough to piss her off, which is what I wanted.
