Corvin nudged me with his shoulder, a quiet signal, then picked up his pace into a steady trot. I followed without trouble, staying just behind him where he wanted me.
My wolf stayed close to the surface, alert and tense, eyes and ears open to everything around us.
What I told him hadn’t been a lie. I wasn’t planning to run from him here, not in the High Wilds where terrain and distance favored the stronger wolf.
That would be pointless. But once we reached the vehicles, things would change. I couldn’t outrun Corvin outright, not for long. Still, if I could slow him down.
If I could distract him, even for a few minutes, that might be enough.
I wouldn’t be able to hold my wolf form much longer anyway. Not if the vehicles were parked anywhere near people.
