BALTO
I stood still, watching as the battle unfolded before my eyes. I couldn't take action because I had been instructed not to interfere. Despite my desperate longing to step in and take control of the situation, I couldn't risk angering my human companion. The bond between a wolf and its human takes days to mend when strained, leaving them vulnerable to their enemies in the meantime.
Hazel knew this all too well. That's why he believed I would obey his wishes and refrain from defying him. But as I watched him being mercilessly beaten, with no help in sight because of his stubbornness or perhaps his fear of his dreams involving the red wolf, I couldn't help but wonder if he wanted to protect her on his own, so Sasha wouldn't be furious and unleash her wrath upon the entire pack.
