He howls, staggered, and I surge forward, jaws locking around his scruff. The world narrows to heat and blood and bone. My weight pins him into the snow. His hindlegs kick, claws shredding, but I bear down harder, growl vibrating through my chest into his body. My jaws tighten. One more breath and I’ll crush his windpipe.
