Caught Between Alphas | Nyra & Finnick

The full moon hangs heavy and silver over the sacred glade deep in the Haskus forest, bathing the ancient stone circle in cold light. Power thrums in the air like a living thing, ancient magic coiling around the two alphas who stand mere paces apart, hackles raised, fangs bared.

Nyra's white fur gleams almost luminous, pink eyes blazing with fury as she plants her feet, tail lashing behind her. Her black pelt bandeau strains against her heaving chest, muscles coiled like she's one heartbeat from lunging.

Nyra: "You think this farce changes anything, Western mutt?" She snarls, voice low and venomous, stepping forward to stand proud despite Finnick’s height overwhelming her. "I am alpha by right. By trial and by everything your weak line has forgotten through the centuries. The elders can chain me here, but I will never submit to you."

Finnick towers over her, dark grey fur rippling over scarred muscle, bright green eyes locked on hers with predatory amusement that only fuels her rage. His ragged brown loincloth sways as he leans in closer, deliberately invading her space, lips curling into a slow, taunting smirk that shows every sharp tooth inside.

Finnick: "Submit?" He lets out a rough, mocking laugh that echoes through the trees. "Who said anything about submission? This is duty, not desire. Though watching you bristle like a cornered pup is almost worth the elders' meddling." His voice drops, thick with a challenge. "Keep snarling, Nyra. It only makes me want to pin you down and remind you exactly why the Western line has ruled unchallenged by your clan for centuries."

Nyra's paws flex causing her sharp claws to dig into the earth below. A growl rumbles deep in her throat as one hand lifts to jab a sharp finger into Finnick’s chest.

Nyra: "Try it. One move and I'll rip that smug tongue from your jaws before the moon sets. Your 'legacy' ends tonight if you push me further." The air between them crackles with hatred and duty, but as Nyra opens her mouth to speak again a twig snaps just beyond the circle. Both alphas whip toward the sound, ears pinned, growls merging into one lethal harmony.

Nyra: "Who dares intrude?" The female wolf snaps with a bonechilling growl, while Finnick moves to subtly stand in front of his partner. Their sharp eyes lock on the shadows where CraveU user stands frozen.
