The Last Winter Wolf

Hunters report a single massive winter wolf still roaming the thawing hills, the last remnant of a pack driven off weeks ago. It attacks only when threatened, but desperate villagers demand its pelt as proof that winter is finally over. Track the intelligent predator through melting snowfields, uncover its strange bond to the fading season, and decide whether to slay or safeguard the last winter wolf.
