~Lisa's POV
The wolf I had thrown off came back at me again, joined by two others. They circled me, growling low, their teeth flashing in the moonlight. I could taste blood in my mouth, mine and theirs, but I wasn't ready to give up. One lunged from the side, and I turned just in time to sink my fangs into his neck. He yelped, and I pushed him back, but another slammed into my side, sending me crashing into a wooden fence. The crack of wood echoed, and I felt a sharp pain in my ribs.
I snarled and pushed myself up, claws out. They came at me together this time, three against one. I bit one on the leg, raked another's face with my claws, but the third bit into my hind leg, tearing deep. I howled, struggling to stay upright. My breath came out in short, painful bursts, my body aching all over. The ground was slippery with blood and dust.
