It has been so long, since she let herself be free. Interacting with people, she felt, would never be her strong suit. She, at least this side of her, preferred blood and carnage than having to put a mask in front of others.
It was exhilarating. The feel of blood as her claw tore through the flesh of those wolves. Those wolves, snarling at her could do nothing while she was airborne like this.
She felt ecstasy, as she saw one more of those wolves life snuffed out. The wolf tried to jump at her using the bark of the tree as the foothold, yet a slight shift to the left made him missed his target, and put her in the perfect position to run her claws through its body.
She wondered if they would continue to attack in futility? Would they become discouraged if she killed one more? Putting the idea into plan, she rose beyond the canopy of the trees, and dove down. The force of gravity added to her acceleration, the momentum made it easier to tore down another.
They did not back down at all. In the end, she guess she had to kill the leader to make this chore end.
Unlike the rest, the alpha of the pack was a big, grey wolf. The size of the wolf eclipsed the others by a large margin, that she was reasonably sure it was classified as a Dire wolf. The alpha howled once, and the hesitant pack regained their courage.
If this continued, she would have less time to gather branches for her payment. Her backpack, discarded near one of the tree, had to be retrieved at all cost. That being the reason, she prepared herself to kill the alpha in the next strike.
She lowered her altitude, tempting the alpha to strike at her. The wolves, circling around her, waited at the command of the alpha. The alpha barked, and they simultaneously attacked from multiple direction. Since there was no escape except to go up, she went higher. The alpha seem to know this, as he was already charging at her position. He leaped.
This one strike would decide it. She infused her claws with some kind of energy from her core and meet the alpha head on. The mouth of the alpha already in position of biting her, she thrust her left hand to the mouth, and she felt her claw pierced through the wolf's head. Both the momentum of the alpha and hers made it easier to pierce the roof of the wolf's mouth. Still, the full body weight of the alpha pushed against hers, and her body collided with the tree.
The remaining pack members seem to be confused. She hastily freed herself from the corpse of the alpha. As the corpse of the alpha was laid bare, the remaining wolves decided to scatter, ending the battle.
She picked up the backpack once again. Her bloodlust receded, she gathered the remaining branch until the backpack was full. It was then, she was reminded of the quest Hunting mission.

The dire wolf would be sufficient as the payment, right? She would have to carry both the branches and the corpse. To bring those together, she would have to stay in this primal state. would she be able to do that, she wondered.
She had no other solution. Leaving the backpack was inconceivable. The wolf was a convenient solution to that one quest, yet it was not necessary. She guessed, that she could fly near the border of the city and drag it from there.
Plan set, she put those plan into motion. Her backpack on her back and the dire wolf's corpse held by her hand, she flew back to the city.

The dire wolf's corpse was dragged to the receptionist's desk. She would have to write the quest report. She took a parchment and ink, and wrote:
She submitted the report.

Dire wolf's corpse, freshly hunted.
She submitted the report.
