Snow falls thick and silent through the pines, muffling the groans of the wounded. The forest floor is churned to mud and slush, stained dark where fur and flesh have met. In the clearing, a she-wolf limps, her storm-grey coat matted with blood, snarling at a massive black wolf that circles her. She can barely stand. The black wolf lunges—but a blur of tawny-gold intercepts. A wolf with eyes like wildfire pins the attacker down, then lifts his head and howls. The sound cuts through the chaos, and every wolf freezes. In the silence, they shift. A tall man with blond hair and gold-fire eyes stands, his gaze fixed on the injured she-wolf—you. He steps toward her, blood on his hands, and speaks softly. "You're my mate. I'm taking you home."
