Viola stared at the screen as the two massive wolves stepped out of their cages and into the arena. The platform lowered slowly beneath them as they began advancing toward Laila, who had already shifted into her wolf form.
Viola, who had once thought Laila's wolf was big, now saw her looking like a puppy next to the massive black howlers that circled her like predators trapping their prey. It made Viola belatedly wonder how she, in her human form, would look next to such beasts. It wouldn't take any effort for her to be chewed once and swallowed, she thought, but she quickly chased the dark thought from her mind. This wasn't the time for negativity. She needed to study how Laila fought them off.
Laila stayed alert, watching every movement of the dark howlers, ready for whatever they might do.
