So in my search, I found this guy, Oliver Starr who no only raises wolves but did a lot of work for Yellowstone's wolf reintroduction program. Turns out he knows a thing or two about their nature, how they operate and what they do when in the wild as a pack. He has spent years studying them and learning everything there is to know about their behaviors.
The first thing to realize is I don't care who you are panic will set in. There is nothing more terrifying than realizing you are outnumbered by a pack of wolves that instinctually want to eat your face.
Tip 1: DON'T RUN
See this is where I would have died. Apparently, this makes you look like the prey and they will jump into kill mode and chase after you. Wolves are natural hunters and the chase is what they live for.
Tip 2: DON'T STARE THEM DOWN
While looking animals in the eye may seem like the go-to move here it is not. They will perceive this as another threat and will act accordingly.
Tip 3: DON'T TURN YOUR BACK TO THEM
Chances are they will jump at you and with your back turned it's game over.
TIP 4: BE SCARY
This is where you will want to make yourself appear as big as possible. If wearing a coat then raise it above your head. Yell at them and if you can throw things at them but be very careful when doing that last one because you do not want to put yourself in a vulnerable position.
TIP 5: BACK AWAY SLOWLY
Making any sudden moves will trigger them to attack so you want to be careful how fast you move. Take it slow and show no fear.
These are some tips to help you escape a pack attack but the unfortunate thing is the more there are in the pack the worse your chances are. Oliver himself survived an attack from a wolf and wrote about it at the link below.
When asked what he would do if attacked by an entire pack this is what he had to say.
Given what I experienced with just a single animal I find it hard to believe a person could fend off two or more wolves for any length of time should they commit to an attack.
At more than one wolf, I myself expect I would curl into the tightest ball possible and try to protect my head, neck, face and sides. Chances are, if the wolves really meant to hurt me, this strategy would only be effective for a very short time…

Ok.first off backing away means knowing for a fact all are in front of you.wolves circle prey.they don’t face off in a solid front attack.second depending on the bass in your voice it could be seen as an act of aggression or intimate.that depends on if they’ve ever had contact with humans prior.some of what Oliver said is true yes.but I highly disagree with him on his points.I was raised with wolves from the age of six on.a pack of thirteen.I know personally the identification of aggression and attitude changes in wolves.if you appear weak they will see you and treat you as prey.unless sickly or suffering from starvation a lone wolf wouldn’t attack.even a pack isn’t highly likely to attack unless they are feeling threatened or there is a lack of other food sources.
