Standing in her place was a fully-grown, humanoid werewolf — thick fur, sharp jaws, glowing golden eyes, and claws long enough to shred steel. Her shredded arm healed in seconds, flesh knitting together like time reversing.
The Leopard Queen froze, unsure if it was still dealing with prey… or a rival predator.
Nixian didn't hesitate.
She lunged, grabbing the leopard's throat with one clawed hand and slamming it down. The ground quaked as the massive beast hit the forest floor with a heavy THUD.
She landed right after it, baring her fangs, and sank them into the leopard's neck. Blood splattered everywhere as the huge predator struggled beneath her.
Lin Fang arrived just as the werewolf lifted the Leopard Queen by the throat, biting deep, snarling like a creature born to kill.
He froze. "What the.."
The werewolf turned toward him slowly, drool and blood dripping from its jaws. Its golden eyes locked onto him, seeming to be filled with hunger.
