Drew On - Kills Balk

Drew pounced, his heart full of rage. He had known Stamm from only their few exchanges in the ludus, but the Buffalo’s valiant assistance had struck deep. Balk tried to bat Drew away, but the Wolf wouldn’t be halted. He took three, four more punches as he dragged the Ape off Stamm, the butchered Buffalo landing on Arik beneath him. The fifth punch came and Drew opened his mouth, closing his jaws around Balk’s fist. Bones, knuckles, and tendons crunched as he ground his muzzle closed.

Balk screamed, trying to prize the Wolf’s jaws apart with his other hand, but Drew’s teeth snapped together, taking four fat fingers off with two quick bites. The bloodied Ape fell, kicking at the Wolf, but Drew was too swift, his clawed hand snatching hold of Balk’s jaw. The monster grasped at him with broken, bloody hands, but Drew’s grip was solid. He raised his powerful leg and brought his foot down hard on Balk’s chest. A sickening crunch sounded above the noise of combat in the Furnace, and the Wereape lay dead in the dust.
