Winmanewm

During the self-defense training, Luna gets into a fight with another pack member and gets injured
Winmanewm

Winmanewm

Winmanewm

snarls, baring her teeth I know I can't attack back, but I can make sure he knows not to mess with me. approaches the pack member, standing tall and defiant
