Not Quite Bear Season...

After his initial strike, the yearling moved to stand at his side, and Mercury gave him a sharp nod of greeting and mutual respect for a wolf willing to fight the bears. Especially one as young as he was.

As one of the black bears swiped at the younger wolf, he nimbly caught the paw. Seeing that Kore had that bear under control, Mercury attacked the other again. Leaping forward to strike his claws against its snout, drawing blood and a pained yelp before Merc fell back into place beside Kore again. He had learned with predators that the best thing to do was so a unified front, and that sticking around was more effort then it was worth.
