"But Mom, I can't leave you here!"
"Do not worry about me. I have trained in the military since I could walk. You just need to promise Mommy that you'll protect yourself! Do you understand?"
Keizu nodded with tears in his eyes.
"Run! I can protect myself! Run, Keizu!"
Seraphyne swiftly guided Keizu to run as fast as he could towards the border of Bloodmoon pack's territory. Her husband had raised him well, and he was a fast and agile runner. She watched him disappear into the dense forest, counting the moments until he would reach the safety of the pack's border.
"Please be safe, Keizu..."
Once she was sure that her son was on his way to safety, Seraphyne made a split-second decision. She turned and sprinted in the opposite direction, leading the intruders away from Keizu. Her training and military background were now being put to the test.
'I can't put my child in danger.'
