There was only blood and the need to protect, the need to rid his territory of the hunter who did not belong.  He ceased in that moment to be even remotely human, the beast inside taking complete control even though he retained most of his human form.  It was in his eyes, the amber color so sharp that they nearly appeared to glow, nothing human peeking out.<br/><br/>Blood rushed into his mouth, covering his claws, splattering his body and the clothes he still wore.  It was a warm rush of life, the end of it a sweet note in the metallic blood.  He didn’t notice nor care that Luc was behind him, but when Sonora darted in to join him he growled low in his throat, warning her away from his prey, though he didn’t snap at her when she got too close.  His beast recognized one of his own, and only the fact that she was female kept him from tearing into her too as he finally dropped the body to the ground and stepped back.<br/><br/>He breathed heavily as he crouched down, his knuckles against the ground, a growl low in his throat more felt than heard.  There was something he needed to do.  Something important enough to bring him back from his blood lust…<br/><br/>It took him a long moment to remember what it was, but when he did his gaze shot to the buck who labored on the ground.  His growl shifted in his throat, becoming something else as he raised his head to the moon high above, a long, single note howl rising from the clearing as he called his pack too him, which would hopefully bring Hannah.<br/>
