Her fur bristles, her body shivering as the growl lifts her lips back in something that might be a smile if not for the deep, echoing sound that booms out of her chest. It demands and it will take.

And that's all the warning he gets before she launches herself full pelt in a huge leap. The ground shuddering with the strength of her strike.
