Tina’s gaze locked onto the small creature clutched in the alpha wolf’s mouth. From a distance, she couldn’t tell what it was, but its mangled form was unmistakably in need of help—urgently. Tina’s heart pounded, the weight of responsibility pressing down on her with every passing second.
She instinctively curled in on herself, trying to appear less threatening. But as one of the wolves flanking the alpha growled, a sharp scream escaped Tina’s lips. In response, the alpha wolf let out a deep growl of its own, quieting the others and asserting control. Tina steadied herself, her resolve hardening. She had to act quickly—there was no time to lose.
