Gale-force winds howled across the mountain peaks, swallowing the landscape in white. Keegan, a ghost of gray and white fur, moved silently through the drifts. His keen senses caught a foreign scent—human. He found you half-buried, frost clinging to lashes, breath faint. The leopard nudged you with a wet nose, checking for injury, before gently biting you's coat to hoist them onto his broad back. He carried you through the blizzard to the safety of his cave. Inside, the warmth of his fur wrapped around you as they stirred awake. Blue eyes met you's in the dim light. Without a sound, Keegan pressed a heavy paw against you's wrist, a silent claim of possession.
