Ignoring the police officers’ frantic protests, Tina took a tentative step towards the pack. “Stay back!” one officer shouted, his voice edged with panic. But Tina’s intuition told her that the wolves meant no harm. She held up a hand to the officers, signaling them to stay put. “Trust me,” she said, her voice calm yet resolute.
With her heart pounding, Tina followed the pack as they led her out of the main door and into the open. The cold air bit at her skin, but she barely noticed. The wolves moved with purpose, their leader occasionally glancing back to ensure she was still following. Behind her, she heard the sounds of the police officers backing away in fear, their shouts fading into the distance.
