Wolf Hunt

“Look, Papa! Tracks!”

“Yes, son.”

“Is it the wolf?”

“Yes.”

“Alder, we should leave the boy. Herman can watch him.”

“No, Julius. This time I want him to see.”

“But, Sire, these wolves are dangerous. They already attacked him once.”

“And something’s not right, Alder. I thought there were only 10 of these wolves, that’s what the girl said.”

“Derry’s right. And these tracks are smaller. Like a normal wolf, not those giant… what did she call them?”

“Wolmens.”

“Don’t you think I realize this? I know it’s not the same, but I won’t have any wolves near Handirk, so help me. My children almost died! I’m not taking any chances. If you even think you spot a wolf, kill it!”

“Yes Sire.”

“Keep moving. Where’s Zander? Zander? Zander. Zander!”

Follow me, boy. Quickly!
