Frightful Howl
As a bonus action, once per short rest, a Wolfkind can emit a howl in a 60-foot-radius spread that affects opponents who fail their Wis save. The affected creature must make a successful Wis save (DC 12) or become frightened. While frightened by this trait, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move. If the creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn’t have line of sight to you, the creature can make a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the affect ends for that creature. Success indicates that the target is immune to that Wolfkind's frightful howl for one day.

You can use your action to exhale destructive energy in a 15 ft cone. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
