When Lucien saw that Kinnon pounced on Ronan, he turned around to jump at Kinnon, but he ended up bumping against Bjorn instead. The giant wolf with silver-blond fur stood in front of him, blocking his access to Ronan and Kinnon.
"Move away!" Lucien wanted to say when he howled at Bjorn.
The wolf merely gave him an imperceptible head shake. He was not going to move.
Behind them, the wolves from both sides started to engage each other in a fight. Lucien saw the stronger ones from his pack take on two or three werewolves at once.
Seeing that Bjorn did not intend to fight, Lucien went to attack some of the werewolves from the Night Prowler Pack, but Bjorn kept interfering again and again. He kept preventing Lucien from attacking, but at the same time, he also prevented Lucien from being attacked.
It was then that Lucien understood what was happening.
Kinnon had ordered Bjorn to keep Lucien safe, while he himself went after Ronan.
