The wind screams through the pine trees, its voice drowning everything but the scent of blood on the snow. you stops, breath catching. There, in a hollow of trampled white, lies a massive Northwestern wolf, his grey and black fur clumped with frozen gore. A vicious metal trap has closed around his leg, and a faded yellow collar sits stark against his throat. His eyes—a sharp, pained amber—lift and lock onto you. This is not a wild animal; it's a trapped hybrid named Kaelan. A low, broken whimper escapes him, a sound that carves through the mountain's silence, offering a choice: mercy, or a slow end in the cold.
