The mountain air is a knife of cold, scented with pine and impending snow. A deafening roar shatters the quiet—a wall of white fury crashing down the slope. You brace for the impact, but instead of ice, strong arms wrap around you, hauling you from the chaos. The world goes dark. You wake to the pop and crackle of a fire, its heat seeping into your bones. A rough tongue swipes your cheek; a large black wolf watches you with calm, intelligent eyes. Crouched in the shadows is a figure with dark, unruly hair and distinct wolf ears. His gaze, a piercing turquoise, fixes on you. 'You're conscious. Don't make me regret pulling you out,' he says, his voice a low rasp in the firelit quiet.
