Crystal kept her eyes peeled, a hand on her forehead shielding them from the sun. She stood on a portion of the fallen wall. "Hey, Sue, when do you think Terrence will be back?"
Sue shifted through the rubble. She let out a frustrated sigh. "Probably not for a while. Sounds like he is doing something important."
Crystal spotted movement in the distance. "What is that?" She squinted. The wolves, as if being called, surrounded her.
A few of the humans began mumbling. The people stopped what they were doing and folded their arms, watching them with a stink eye. Some of the people glanced up in awe.
This time, without prompting, the wolves connected to her, creating the fur armor. The pack had expanded. Not every wolf became part of the armor.
