Lost Heir

Harlow and I had just settled in to our new temporary home when a growl interrupted the quiet peace that filled the meadow. A small group of wolves stepped out from the shadows of the trees. I knew that I could take them, but not with Harlow with me. I quickly shifted and let out a growl of my own, settling for intimidation. I knew that my wolf was larger than most and some snapping of the jaws usually did the trick. I stood firm over Harlow and snarled as a group of wolves entered the clearing.
One of them shifted into their human form and demanded "Shift!" Refusing to let him have a higher hand over me if I were in my human form, I let out another snarl and bared my teeth against him. I sunk lower into my crouch over Harlow so that the fur on my stomach barely brushed his back.
"Ah, I see. We have a mama wolf on our hands" the unknown man laughed. He took a step forward and said "We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to your pup now would we? That would be such a shame." I could see the humor dancing in his eyes as he stepped closer to Harlow and I. I puffed out my chest and bared my teeth as he got too close for comfort.
Suddenly the man lunged for my neck. He must have thought I was a fool. I could have seen that coming from a mile away. Idiot. I quickly tore out at him and grabbed a hold of his arm and shook as hard as I could.
We were in a bloody fight when a loud growl tore through the meadow. A wolf larger than any I had ever seen before entered the clearing. His black eyes narrowed onto me, and I knew he was mad. His body was quivering in anger. Oops. He shifted into his very naked human form. His nostrils flared and his eyes fluttered for a second. "Mate" he murmured. Welp, poor girl that has to get stuck with his stupid ass. With that he made a dive towards me with the guys arm still in my mouth.
