Lynn continued walking through the forest, nose to the ground as she tried to pick up the scent of any prey. Her focus was solely on her hunt, and the biting cold ceased to bother her - however, as she kept going, her injury in her back left leg began to grow stiff with the cold. Soon she was moving with a slight limp, her lame leg dragging along on the floor and making a rather distinct set of tracks. She couldn't smell anything other than the wolves in her pack, and occasionally the small forest mouse that was so small it wasn't worth catching. Lifting her head when she caught a peculiar scent on the wind, the she-wolf stiffened as she caught the vague smell of humans. She didn't run, however, as she spotted a scent that she didn't quite recognize. It smelled slightly like wolf, but human at the same time.
The wolf wasn't left long to wonder about what the smell was when four dogs leaped out of the surrounding bush and surrounded her. They all wore collars with strange tags on them, and they were all growling and snarling. Lynn yelped, trying to retreat but unable to when the fourth wolf rounded on her back and bit her. Panicking, Lynn didn't think to howl to her pack - instead just whimpering as the dogs paced around her and lunged at her every time she tried to move. Soon after she learned the reason why they weren't attacking her outright; the sound of humans yelling was approaching.
Ross nodded to Mila as she recognized him and began to trail behind him, following Lynn's scent. It wasn't a difficult task, as it was one of the only more recent trails around the area - and if the scent had ever faded out, her distinct track was easy to pick out. Turning to Mila, Ross was about to speak when he heard a yelp from up ahead. It sounded like Lynn. Flattening his ears, he gestured for Mila to follow as he broke into a sprint - soon detecting a familiar scent that he new was dogs from an encounter when he had still been a loner. "This isn't good." The male growled softly to Mila, keeping his voice down in order to not draw attention to their presence. "If there are dogs, there will be humans close behind. We need to get Lynn than return to the pack and warn them quickly." He said, stiffening further when he started to hear humans. "You take the two on the left, I'll get the ones on the right." He barked at Mila before bounding off to the right.
