`` They take orders from the Head of the Pack , and not from any striped cattle-killer . The man 's cub is ours -- to kill if we choose . '' `` Ye choose and ye do not choose ! What talk is this of choosing ? By the bull that I killed , am I to stand nosing into your dog 's den for my fair dues ? It is I , Shere Khan , who speak ! '' The tiger 's roar filled the cave with thunder . Mother Wolf shook herself clear of the cubs and sprang forward , her eyes , like two green moons in the darkness , facing the blazing eyes of Shere Khan . `` And it is I , Raksha -LSB- The Demon -RSB- , who answers .

He shall live to run with the Pack and to hunt with the Pack ; and in the end , look you , hunter of little naked cubs -- frog-eater -- fish-killer -- he shall hunt thee ! Now get hence , or by the Sambhur that I killed -LRB- I eat no starved cattle -RRB- , back thou goest to thy mother , burned beast of the jungle , lamer than ever thou camest into the world ! Go !

He had almost forgotten the days when he won Mother Wolf in fair fight from five other wolves , when she ran in the Pack and was not called The Demon for compliment 's sake . Shere Khan might have faced Father Wolf , but he could not stand up against Mother Wolf , for he knew that where he was she had all the advantage of the ground , and would fight to the death .
