"LESTER!!!"
A scream of shock escaped Elsie's lips as she ran to the barricade beside Ruth. She watched in shock as Lester stood behind the lion in his wolf form. His brown wolf stood like the summit of a sturdy mountain glaring at the beast.
Edwin's wolf made a disapproving growl. He knew that Lester had never faced any wild animal before. He was always sheltered by his father and thus less reckless than Edwin to go on adventures of his own.
Besides, he defied Edwin's orders, yet again!
But the brown wolf didn't pay any heed to those warnings. When Lester saw Edwin in danger, he couldn't hold himself back. He didn't care if his friendship with Edwin would deteriorate further from his actions. Then, at least, he would spend his life content that he saved his friend and remained faithful to him forever.
Elsie's heart lurched into her throat as she watched the lion leaving the black wolf and roaring at the brown wolf with a pale face.
