Adrenaline doesn’t slow the course of her body even when they’ve gotten a good rhythm, forcing the smaller wolf through the redwoods and out the other side where Heda has called for them. Mallaidh doesn’t really know where she’s going and uses Blixen solely as direction and Opalia to keep an eye out as they shuffle. She’s able to steel some of her nerves through the rhythmic steps but panic still sits deep inside. She tries her hardest not to think about the dead wolf they left behind.
