There's the need to defend rearing its head in her chest, muzzle parting to show her canines. She moved back to stand beside Lucian, eyes flicking over him and the pups in search of any wounds. Her muscles relax minutely when she doesn't find anything, ears flicking forward at the sound of nails moving along the floor. 

The girl with her dark-chocolate brown fur is slowly pacing beside the white wolf, tail held stiffly and ears pinned to her skull. Their heartbeats echo in her ears as silence fills the air, nostrils flaring out slightly as she tries to gather some information. The older male has this authoritative aura around him, Aneira catches a sour scent coming from him that she somehow instinctively knows means irritation. The younger girl snaps her jaws at them, the scent Aneira catches from her is sharp like spices and it filters in her head instinctively as mirth.

She dips her head and nudges Echo and Pipper back a few paces, nipping gently at soft fur when they wiggle as if to try and evade. She can't focus on them and Lucian during this fight, rumbling lowly at them she nudges gently once more until they lay down with lowered ears. 

Shaking her head with a huff of breath, she nudges Lucian gently as the faint coppery scent of blood reaches her nose. A rumbling sort of sound has her looking away, muzzle curling up as the female lunges forward. 

Instincts guide her forward with little hesitation, teeth seeking purchase in a bid to harm. They meet once more with their bodies colliding, but this time Aneira let's the wolf side of herself take over just a bit more instead of pushing it down. She ducks her head and lets instinct guide her in her next movements, ears flicking at the yelp of pain that echos in the air as her teeth find a spot to sink into. She's not at all gentle as she tightens her hold and begins to shake her head, using her advantage to physically shove the girl away while never once releasing her hold. 

The girl is sent flying back with a howl of pain, blood trailing after in a mimicry of a trail until she slams into a wall. The Aneira's turning away and lunging towards the male, fur marred by blood and her teeth on full display.

She will fight to defend her pack, her family until she can't anymore.
