‘Be careful. There are a lot of them outside. I can keep the cave safe for a while if they discover it. Don’t do anything

the wolf saw the opening, they stopped moving and I could hear them scenting the air. There was no way they could

avoid catching my scent now that they focused on the opening. A growl was heard and it was accompanied by others. Oh great, they have made up in order to kill us, I thought. The moment I saw a black paw in the opening of the cave, I

but they were only halfway inside the cave and the small opening restricted their movements. I could hear their pack mates outside, trying to push past them to help. But there wasn’t enough space. I heard the bones in the paw snapping

and I felt it beneath my teeth. I wanted to spit it out, it felt gross as the warm blood seeped into my mouth. But I steeled

myself. As long as I had their paw, they were stuck, and the boys were safe. I growled and put more pressure on my jaws.

The grey wolf whimpered and in a desperate attempt to get free, they put weight on the paw in my mouth. The
