Elwood wasn't the only wolf to respond to Tempest's call. Within just a few minutes, there was a small group assembled. Mikael, Finley, and Ashton had joined them, all with various comments about the situation, but it was Somnia that took the lead. Following Finley's suggestion, she laid out a plan for them to follow, each of them assigned a specific task. Elwood nodded his understanding, then pivoted and loped to his position.

Somnia would be first to run with the coyote, followed by Tempest, and then it would be the Beta's turn. He measured out the distance carefully, keeping an eye on the rabid creature while he did so, then paused and waited for Somnia to put everything into motion.
