Cold sweat dripped down her back as she locked eyes with the wolf, slowly clenching her hand.
The wolf stood still, its gray eyes fixed on her, not straying for a moment. Aldana Candi knew it was assessing her combat strength.
After a while, the wolf took a step toward her.
Aldana Candi's heart sank; she realized it had made its decision.
Almost in the next second, the wolf, spanning nearly two meters, suddenly lunged at her!
At the same time, Aldana Candi darted toward the grill.
She grabbed the folding knife Philip Shaw had left there.
The wolf missed, its eyes narrowed slightly, letting out a threatening growl, crouching down in preparation for a second attack.
It had already discovered that the human posed no resistance; as long as it could knock her to the ground, a feast would follow.
Aldana Candi quickly unfolded the knife, her heart racing as she watched the wolf's movements, knowing the second attack wasn't far off, she had to be ready.
