Unexpected confrontation
The hunter froze, startled by the sight of Albert. Something about attacking a man of his age didn’t feel right. Albert, however, had no such hesitations. Driven by a surge of adrenaline and unwavering resolve, he stood ready. With decades of hard-earned experience, he was more than prepared to defend himself—and the wolves he had vowed to protect.
Unexpected Confrontation
A decisive blow
Albert’s eyes locked onto the familiar rock he had wielded before, its weight grounding him with certainty. In one swift motion, he brought it down on the hunter’s head. The blow wasn’t fatal, but it did its job. The hunter swayed, then crumpled to the ground, unconscious. Albert stood over him, chest heaving, the immediate threat subdued. But there was no time to linger—somewhere out there, the wolf still needed him.
