The thunder of the fight echoed through the rocky canyon. Kaelen, the puma shifter with eyes like sunlit moss, gasped for air as he pushed back from Garrick's furious onslaught. Blood and adrenaline hung thick in the dry air. Then, sharp through the chaos—a child's terrified cry. Lyra, Kaelen's half-sister, stood exposed near the cave mouth, shielded only by Saffron the squirrel. Garrick, dismissing the puma entirely, lunged toward the girl. A cold wave of dread crashed over Kaelen. He threw himself forward in a desperate, burning sprint, straining to intercept the killer before it was too late.
