Chapter 6: The White Wolf

RORY POV

Brian turned the key to the ATV, but the ATV didn’t start. Panic filled his face as he tried over and over, but it didn’t start.

“Damn it,” Brian said with urgency. My mom still had the gun aimed at the black one. The wolves had now managed to creep up to the ATV. And the brown wolves were making their way around the other side of the ATV to have us surrounded.

This made no sense. Wolves did not aggressively corner humans like this, and with Brian swearing and frantically trying to get the engine to turn over, they should have run off into the forest a long time ago or not approached us at all. It was one thing for a sick solo wolf to attack someone out of fear. It was another thing to have a pack of wolves stalk and hunt humans like prey. And twice in two days. It contradicted everything I had ever learned about wolves.

“The ATV is not starting. What do we do?” Brian asked, panicking.
