The warm season approached,
and the skies were already brimming with birds returning from their migrations.
Snowy Owls, Ptarmigans, and Thunder Birds,
were occasionally visible streaking across the skies in fleeting glimpses.
This added a touch of vitality to the Arctic.
Meanwhile, Su Lin and Xiao Hui,
guided by scent trails, had found a wolf pack that marked its territory in the nearby area.
It was a small wolf pack,
comprising just one Wolf and two Wolfesses.
Such a small pack faced precarious survival conditions,
and the arrival of the warm season made it difficult to defend their hunting grounds.
Yet clearly,
the pack was preparing to expand and recruit,
as all three wolves were releasing friendly pheromones in the vicinity.
Now, in the depths of the polar night, there were many Lone Wolves scattered about.
Recruiting them to strengthen the pack and conquer territories was a common strategy for many packs.
