<em><b>Chapter </b><b>121 </b><b>Calyx </b></em>
<em>I trust that they will get the job done,‘ I growl as I start to make my way back home. I want <b>to </b>get back to Ama and cuddle with her. Today has been exhausting. </em>
<em>‘Maybe we don’t trust you to get the job done,‘ the same wolf growls at me. He is a dusty color<b>. </b>He is a younger warrior named Miles. Zviad and I can’t remember what his wolf’s name is at the moment, but we don’t care at the moment. </em>
<em>Zviad turns on him and growls, ‘What did you just say?‘ </em>
<em>‘We don’t trust you to be our Alpha,‘ he says as he snaps his jaws at us. He is ck and white, reminding me of a tuxedo cat. The tuxedo looking wolf’s human name is Nathan. </em>
<em>Zviad whirls around and growls at the upstart wolf. “What did you just say!” Zviad growls out loud as he res at the two. </em>
<em>“I think that it is time for a new Alpha,” dust colored wolf, Miles, growls<b>. </b></em>
<em>“Say that again,” Zviad orders as he keeps his eyes on both of the warriors. </em>
<em>‘Markus, we are being challenged,‘ I say over the mind link to my twin. ‘Keep Ama at home and safe </em>
<em>for now.‘ </em>
<em>‘I’m on my way,‘ Markus growls back to me. </em>
<em>I want to growl in frustration at my little brother. He is supposed to stay and protect Ama. I am unable to say anything else, as Nathan charges us. </em>
<em>His ck and white wolf is some much smaller than Zviad, but he is fast. Nathan feints to the left and then dives underneath us. He tries to rake his ws into Zviad’s belly, but Zviad is able to use his back paws to kick the small wolf away. Nathan goes rolling away. He is able to roll to paws. Nathanes back towards us. This time he doesn’t do a feint; he dips his head slightly and goes for my neck. </em>
<em>His jaws are almost sessful in grabbing my neck, but Zviad shifts a little. He rams his front shoulder into Nathan’s jaws. Nathan is unable to get a good purchase as his fangs pull out fluff of fur. I hiss at the slight sting of ripped fur, but it’s better than losing a chunk of hide. Zviad growls in anger at the warrior. </em>
<em>I could and will kick myself for itter as Milesunches himself at me. He rams into Zviad’s ribs and sends us rolling across the ground. Miles’s dust colored wolf continues to press his advantage <b>as </b>he charges our prone form. </em>
<em>Zviad grins maliciously at the wolf as he gets within range. Zviad rolls out of the way and <b>uses </b><b>his </b></em>
<em>back ws to w Miles’s face. He lets out a howl <b>of </b>pain and anger. <b>As </b><b>Miles </b><b>races </b><b>past </b>in <b>pain</b><b>, </b><b>he </b>clips his shoulder into a tree. </em>
<em>Zviad gets to his paws and is ready for Nathan as he attempts to grab Zviad’s tail, Zviad turns his head and sinks his jaws into Nathan’s front shoulder. The traitor lets out a whimper <b>of </b><b>pain </b><b>as </b><b>Zviad </b>mps down harder. </em>
<em>He gives Nathan a good shake to destroy his shoulder. We then drop him to the ground. <b>Zviad </b>turns to look for Miles when four sets of ws dig into our back. Zviad turns his head to <b>try </b>and <b>get </b>Miles<b>, </b>when Miles sinks his teeth into our front left shoulder. </em>
<em>‘Shit!‘ I curse through the pain. </em>
<em>Miles’s teeth are still in Zviad and limit our range of motion. Miles gives his own head a shake and rips into us more. </em>
<em>Zviad drops to the ground and rolls, trying to dislodge the traitor. Miles let’s go and rolls <b>away </b>from </em>
<em>our ws<b>. </b></em>
<em>‘You good?‘ I ask my wolf as I push down the pain. </em>
<em>‘I want them dead at my paws,‘ Zviad growls in anger as he res at the two traitors. ‘We will present their hides to mate for approval.‘ </em>
<em>Zviad doesn’t wait for my response as he charges towards Miles. We’re slower this time due to our shoulder injury, but still powerful. Miles growls at me as he turns to charge at us. We meet with a fury of ws and jaws snapping at each other. Miles tries to go for our injured shoulder. Zviad goes for Miles’s own hurt shoulder. </em>
<em>Zviad sinks his ws into Miles’s front shoulder, and we get a howl of pain for our reward. Miles tries to snap at us and catch anything he can. We dodge his fangs. Zviad then is able to mp his jaws into Miles’s tail. Zviad is able to throw Miles away from us and into a tree. </em>
<em>Nathan chooses this moment to mp his jaws into the same hurt shoulder. I feel the fangs sink into the bone and break some of it off. Zviad growls in pain. </em>
<em>We should not be having this hard of a time with two wolves. Zviad has taken on a dozen rogues at once and walked away without a scratch. </em>
<em>Zviad turns and sinks his jaws into Nathan’s tail. We throw him away from us. Zviad nts his <b>paws </b>in the blood covered dirt. Nathan rolls to a stop and staggers to his own paws. Miles is standing <b>up </b>and growling at us<b>. </b></em>
<em>Zviad lets out a growl of warning. Nathan and Miles give their own growls <b>in </b><b>return</b>. <b>We </b><b>then </b><b>are </b>running back towards each other. </em>
