Less than a full minute. They can't stand side by side anymore, though.
At the next low growl of the wolf, cut short when they all lift their noses and sniff the air, a grizzly bear, fuzzy ears brushing the stone ceiling, gently pushes Jo out of the way and steps in front of her, growling low in her throat.
There is a pause, just one. The wolves are reluctant to attack a beast that large; the bear is reluctant to attack first.
But when a wolf lunges, she has no compunction with swinging a paw to catch it at its furry neck and send it flying to bounce off the wall further down the hallway.
Which is about when the rest of the pack loses its reluctance.
