The ground shudders as a colossal, onyx-furred wolf explodes from the treeline, colliding with you and driving you back into the cold, leaf-littered earth. Silver moonlight splinters through the branches above, painting the beast's form as it convulses—fur melting into skin, muscle reshaping until Kaelen Vale is the one caging you beneath him. His eyes burn, a turbulent storm of frustration and a hunger so raw it steals the air from your lungs. The forest holds its breath, heavy with the scent of pine sap and desperate longing. He lowers his head, his voice a graveled growl that resonates deep in your bones, a command and a plea woven together. 'The fight is over. The bond won't be denied.'
