Hunter

18 MONTHS BEFORE

Driving the Ski-Doo through the night, I’m not sure what I want to find. After the first trap with Taima, who I had to tranquilize to release, the last two nights have come up with nothing. I can’t help the sense of relief.

But I know we need to capture Zephyr and Sakari. The future of these wolves depends on it.

So, as I near where I set the trap, I slow. Cutting the engine, I wait for the silence to become absolute. There’s no sound coming from the rocky outcropping, which is a good sign if you don’t want a wolf to be trapped, but less so if you want a captive breeding program to get started.

Walking forward, the icy air swirling around me, I strain for the sounds of movement or frustration.

But there’s nothing.

Which probably means the trap is empty.

But at the next crunch of snow beneath my boot, there’s a yelp. I rush forward, coming around the scrubby, rocky edge to find that a wolf is most definitely trapped in the jaws of the trap. My breath sucks in and icy air stings my lungs.

It’s Sakari.

On seeing me, she jerks, then yelps. She immediately moves forward again, taking any tension off her clamped foot.

And she’s injured.

Leaning forward without putting any weight on the injured limb, she zeroes in on me and growls. Her muzzle serrates and her teeth flash white on white. Everything about her says back the hell up.

I stop, hands coming up as if in surrender. I wish I could.

Her furious eyes don’t leave me, nor does the growling stop, even though I don’t move another muscle. It doesn’t matter that she knows me, that she’s seen me most nights hovering on the horizon. She’s a cornered animal; a hurt, cornered animal.

A wild wolf who’s been trapped is dangerous. An injured one is far more likely to be deadly.

With slow steps I back away, knowing what I need to do. The minute I’ve created a little more distance I jog back to the Ski-Doo. The trailer on the back has everything I need.

Ignoring the big-ass cage on the back that’s about to have a body in it, I tear open the vet pack. I need to be quick. Grabbing what I need, I head back.

Sakari jerks and yelps again when she hears me approach and it makes me wince. I’m the one who set that trap. I’m the one responsible for her injury.

Clicking the syringe into place, I hold up the tranquilizer gun and start moving forward. I need to get close enough to be accurate.

With each step closer, Sakari steps up the growling. It starts as an ominous thunder, but within a few moments it detonates into a violent explosion. Barks and snaps have her jerking forward over and over, no longer paying attention to her injured foot. Sakari looks feral and angry and I don’t blame her.

Heart hammering, I need to get this over and done with as quickly as possible so she doesn’t do herself any more damage.
