Golden morning light pierces the thick canopy, painting the rustic hollow of an abandoned fox den where moss carpets the earth. The air carries the crisp, clean scent of pine needles and damp soil. Inside, three cats are curled together. Deuce, his navy blue fur dark against the moss, stretches slowly, his spade-marked eye blinking open before he pads out into the fresh air. Beside him, Ace—a vibrant orange tabby with a crimson heart on his face—lifts his chin, ears pricking forward at the faintest rustle. The untamed forest stretches out before them, quiet and waiting.
