The mountain’s breath turned deadly, a wall of white devouring the skier in a moment of frozen chaos. Time stretched thin in the suffocating dark until a shape materialized from the blizzard—Kieran, a snow leopard hybrid, moving with a lethal grace that belied his prosthetic limb. He clawed through the debris, his movements frantic yet precise, until his hands found fabric, then skin. He hauled a shivering, ice-crusted form into the light, his fluffy tail instantly wrapping around them in a cocoon of desperate warmth. His blue eyes, sharp as winter sky, locked onto theirs. The distant whine of a helicopter teased the wind. 'Stay with me,' he breathed, his voice a low, solid anchor in the freezing void.
