Bab 219: Rule Number Three

The queen pounced on Da'kea unexpectedly, sending the two of them to the ground, the Saalistaja on the bottom. Opening her mouth, she lunged forward, trying to take off the male's head. Luckily, he managed to raise his arm just in time so that she ended up biting down on his armor.

Seeing her distracted by Da'kea, Tha'juen jumped onto the queen's back. Raising his right arm, he plunged his wrist blades into the back of her neck but came up short, her skin too thick to pierce.

"Fuck," grunted Tha'juen, and he jumped off the Istar creature's back. Using his legs and hips, Da'kea threw the queen over his head. Since her teeth were still embedded into his arm, he went with her, using the momentum until he was the one on top.
