The growl that the female uttered was not deep or really aggressive. It was like she was just returning his own. This was very odd, but her order to shift back only gave him reason to stay. He did not know how many of them could be around, and for all he knew, they are his enemies. He looked right at her, into her eyes. He was looking for weakness or fear, something to tip him off at what to do. He was not going to back down, if anything happened, he was going to fight it tooth and nail.<br/><br/>The man that was behind her now, rolled over, and looked right at him. He watched as he stood, he was weakened, and he was hurt. He did not understand why this man was standing up. His words only made him wonder if his man was even sane. Kane just looked at them both, not moving a muscle. Something in him told him to back off, it was his primal side. Maybe this was his mate, and a male around his mate is why he was standing to meet him.<br/><br/>Kane hunched down low onto all fours, and he looked up at him, he did not growl, but he did show his teeth, and his claws dug into the earth that was under them. He was about to speak, when he heard something coming.
