Senkah's ears pinned back flat against her head. Her lips were curled back, baring sharp white fangs, and a growl rumbled in her chest. "You heard Kodiak." Her voice rose to a howl, "Stonepack, ATTACK."
Willow felt herself freeze as those two words that meant so much were spoken. She couldn't move, as much as she wanted to; to find Cody and tell him...
