Lucius grinned devilishly as Creole gave the cue - attack.
As his sire jumped, so did he, aiming to plant himself shoulder to shoulder with Creole in front of the feline.
Lucius succeeded, assuming his father did also - and for a moment, he felt badass!
The young cougar immediately backpedaled a few feet with a startled hiss, tail lashing as she faltered, looking from one wolf to the other, as if she were judging if it was worth it to stick around...
Lucius raised his lip and let out a loud growl, hackles raising along his spine as he took a brave, firm step forward at the mountain cat - openly daring her to try something.
The yearling felid growled defensively, but ultimately, she began trying to back away.
One wolf was one thing, but no smart kitty would try its luck with two or more!
