Fenris' POV On our way back from shopping, we decided to take a different route through the forest to prevent people from noticing us. The sound of the rustling leaves and the melodious chirping of birds brought much-needed relief to the curious whispers of the town. Just then, I heard a movement in the bushes nearby. Suddenly, two hyenas stepped forward from behind the darkness, their eyes reflecting the lust of the kill. My muscles immediately tightened, and I put myself between Isadora and anything that could harm her. "Stay behind me," I commanded as threateningly as I could. Then picking up two strong sticks lying on the ground, I prepared for the charge. The hyenas attacked, and their teeth glared. I firmly held one stick and started swinging it as hard as possible.
