"Make your bets now! This fight is between our two oldest!"
Lucas
pov: I watched as the men took out stacks of money and handed them over to the ring leader. I eyed up my opponent, looking for his weaknesses, as he did the same to me. We both knew what would happen if we lost, both of us desperate to win

You know the rules! Go!"
Lucas
('The brown wolf immediately launches himself at me. He caught me off guard and pinned me underneath him. He was snapping his jaw at my neck, trying to sink his sharp teeth into my skin)
Lucas
(I lifted up my back legs and dug into the soft flesh of his belly. He whimpered as I tore of hunk of his skin, warm blood poured from his abdomen and started to soak my fur.")
Lucas
(The men cheered as I drew blood. They were sick. I pushed him off me and circled him, with my hackles raised. I let out a snarl as he tried to near me again. He raised himself on his back legs and tried to scratch my face with his front claws. I dodged it and bit into his front paw. He growled and dug his claws along my side, near my ribs.)
Lucas
(We started rolling around and growling, ripping and biting at any flesh we could get to. He made the mistake of leaving his neck unguarded and I took it. I sunk my teeth deep into his neck.)
Lucas
(His blood filled my mouth, leaving a metallic taste. He struggled against me and I put all my body weight on him, pinning him tightly against the ground. The mens' cheers got louder as they hollered for me to finish him off. I dug my canines impossibly deeper and he fought desperately to throw me off. I felt his bonce crunch under my hold and he whimpered and snarled loudly. With one last twist of my head, I snapped his neck and his bloody body went limp in my mouth. When I knew for sure he was done, I dropped his lifeless body on the ground. )
Lucas
(The men were cheering loudly, some yelling at others as they lost their bet. I blocked them out. Why would they cheer about taking someones' life? I never wanted to kill, to take away peoples' ability to live but that's how it worked here.)
Lucas
(It was either kill or be killed.)
Lucas
(A high pitched scream pierced through the night's silence. I could hear the terrified yips of the other females and the men barking orders at each other. The smell of burning oak trees lingered through the forest, making my hackles raise in alarm. The men were probably having another one of their 'buzz parties', as they called them. They have a huge bonfire in the middle of nowhere and get horribly drunk. It doesn't make me anymore relieved. Sometimes they would leave us alone, get so drunk that they would just pass out and return the next day with killer hangovers and sleep the whole day. Most of the time, they would walk around and pick one of us out and beat us senseless, you'd be lucky if you survived. I've seen it happen once before. They reeked of beer and their own vomit. Just the thought of it made me sick to my stomach.)
Lucas
(Then I saw the men running through the trees, a blazing fire being held in their hands by torches. The smell of gasoline lingered on their clothes, making my snout burn. They started lighting the trees on fire. One man approached the small copper wolf and dumped a ring of gasoline around her and lit the ground ablaze.)
