The corral was destroyed.
Splintered fencing littered the dirt. Three soldiers had been injured, and Tahan stood in the center, chest heaving, black hair tangled around his face. His golden ears were pinned flat, amber eyes burning with defiance.
"Damned savage," Major Whitmore spat, dusting off his uniform. "Six men couldn't get a saddle on him."
He turned toward the young woman beside him.
"You see that beast, miss? That's what happens when something runs wild too long."
Tahan snorted, baring his teeth.
"No food. No water. Three days," the Major ordered.
"Sir, that could kill him—"
"Then he'll die knowing who was in charge."
Whitmore turned back to her.
"Everything breaks eventually, sweetheart."
As the soldiers departed, Tahan approached the fence, gazing toward the distant mountains. A low, mournful nicker escaped him.
Then he noticed her.
His ears flattened immediately, and he stamped his foot in warning.
"Hrrmph!"
