Otter Creek Fishing

"Hold on!" Koda shouted, rushing forward to aid the floundering wolf. But before he could jump in after her, a russet blur caught his eye as a third wolf jumped into the fray. It took a moment for him to recognize the wolf, Vector, a male he'd gone hunting with a few days ago.

Vector grabbed Kesuk by the scruff and started swimming to shore, dragging her along with him. As they reached the bank, Koda wedged his shoulder under Kesuk's body, pushing her up out of the water as Vector pulled her up onto the bank.

Koda climbed out onto the bank, his heart pounding so hard he could barely hear over the sound. "Kesuk! Are you okay?" Koda was practically shouting as he struggled to keep his emotions under control.
