Seized with terror, the white haired spirit fox stared at the man. His breath cut off, and he clawed haplessly at the hand. His veins bulged with strain.
"—Stop." He snarled. His body was stone cold, claws pierced through the skin of the man strangling him. Warmth of viscous blood caressed his fingers as he kicked about.
The man in front of him produced a guttural growl. Abhorrence burned bright within his amber gaze as he tightened his ruthless hold.
Even behind his assailant, the white fox spirit heard the hurried steps of another. His heart hammered into his ribs, thunder roared as blood in his ears.
