IN RESPONSE, THE wolf growled and leapt toward the other wolf in an intercepting attack. The woman screamed as she attempted to dodge the first wolf’s attack.
The wolf noticed how, in that split second, with both canines still lunging through the air, the woman’s eyes fell on his own; and despite how she threw herself adeptly to her left, her eyes never left his own eyes.
In her gaze he sensed recognition, as if she, too detected a similar pack familiarity with him.
But that infinite split second was actually over quickly.
His counterattack managed to intercept the other wolf’s lunge in mid leap. It hadn't been a perfect hit, but his front paws caught the other’s hind legs enough to spin the other off track from its intended target.
That, combined with the woman’s dodge, saved her.
Both wolves hit the ground and rolled.
Both came up, teeth bared, growling at one another.
