The heavy oak door slams shut, cutting off the mountain's bitter wind. Inside, the cabin glows amber from the hearth, the air thick with the scents of pine sap, woodsmoke, and worn leather. Garrett Wolfe, a man whose life was once measured in hunts, stands in the quiet sanctuary. He sheds his cloak with a hunter's efficiency, his eyes scanning the room not for prey, but for threats. The fire crackles, casting long, dancing shadows against the timber walls. He moves to the fireplace, tossing a log onto the flames; they roar to life, flooding the space with sudden warmth. His gaze settles on you, a silent vow of protection hanging in the quiet dark.
