This choice: Follow the Mayor, Red's father, as he hunts them down • Go Back... "That Bastard!" Jason thought, when he heard the the news that Wolf had married his daughter.
For almost twenty years, the villiage had had an agreement with the Wolf Pack, in excange for not molesting the villagers, the village would give the Pack their best sheep and cows every year.

Suddenly, one of the men said, "Mayor, there is someone up ahead."
