Both of them just sat there silently. By three-thirty in the morning, a slight sound suddenly came from somewhere not that away from them.
Looking at each other at the same time, they knew that something was approaching.
Immediately, they reached for the weapons they were carrying on their waists. They were ready to start fighting at any given moment.
The sound became louder and louder, and if you listened to it more carefully, you would have realized that it wasn't made by a human being.
Standing up at the same time, they both looked towards the direction from where the sound was coming.
In the darkness, eyes were seen glowing with a green light.
They figured out almost immediately that it was a pack of wolves, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes, humans are far more terrible than wolves are. Taking a second look, they were re-assured. Thank God that there were only five or six wolves.
Harry immediately put some more wood on the fire, and then he picked up the flashlight beside it and turned it on.
The wolves were then all exposed to the light, and two were red, and three were brown. At the front of the pack was a snow white wolf, which was supposed to be their head.
These wolves all had wide mouths, sharp snouts. Their tails were short and hanging in the back, not yet curled, and their ears were pricked, too.
If Harry was right, these must be the endangered Warrah.
Without any hesitation, Harry took out his weapon and drew a warning shot towards the pack.
Hearing the gun's loud noise, the wolf pack immediately turned back and fled away as was expected.
However, the shot also awakened all the people who were asleep.
Lola all of a sudden opened her eyes abruptly, and found that inside the tent there was no one else but herself.
Hearing the gunshot, she instantly climbed out of the tent.
The bodyguards also ran out. They were all fully armed and vigilantly aiming at the surroundings with their weapons.
"Relax, it was just a wolf pack, but it's gone already. Go back to sleep, all of you!" Jordan looked at the bodyguards around him, armed to the teeth and ready to fight. He couldn't help but wonder where Harry had found all of these men. They seemed to be pretty strong.
Harry saw Lola, who was outside in her thin dress. He quickly walked towards her and pushed her back inside the tent.
"Don't worry, everything is alright. Go back to sleep now!" He was worried about her, seeing her come out in that thin dress on such a cold night.
Looking at Harry's wound, Lola asked, "Did the wolves come?" She then looked at Harry restlessly.
Harry pushed her back, saying, "No, honey, go to sleep!" But the moment Harry tucked her into bed, Lola sat up again.
"Let's sleep together." She wondered whether Harry had slept or not.
Harry pushed her back and tucked her into bed again, and said, "I already slept, and I'm not sleepy yet. You sleep first! Good girl."
"No. If you you're not sleeping, I'm not sleeping. I'm staying with you!" She slightly pouted her lips and stubbornly watched Harry.
But Harry just shook his head and smiled, and said, "Be good. We are all used to it, and as long as I'm here, I will not let you suffer in any way." He leaned his body forward, only leaving his feet outside the tent. There was no way for Lola to get out now.
As long as he was there, he would not let her suffer.
Although these were only simple words, she was greatly moved by them.
As she gradually became drowsy, she didn't argue anymore with him. "Well, you can take turns with our brother." After saying this in a daze, she soon fell asleep.
Harry caressed her long hair, and gave her a kiss on her cheek. Then he got out of the tent and zipped it back tightly.
