The two mates were lying on the frozen ground. Connor's eyes were still shooting daggers at the woman who just turned her back to him and ducked down to lay a hand on the big black and white wolf's fur. After watching him for a moment, she straightened up and took a few steps away.
"I thought we had to hurry, what are you waiting for?" The WIA agent said impatiently.
"I can't carry them on my own, I need help."
"I'm here!" Connor stated which earned him a contemptuous glance from the woman who looked him up and down before turning away without answering.
Alana lifted her head to the sky and let out a howl that startled Connor. Her voice sounded like a wolf's cry. A few seconds had barely passed when rustles were approaching from several sides.
The man strained his ears and heard the sound of the paws of several animals. There was no time to ask more questions when two wolves arrived.
