The rain outside softened to a quiet patter against the window of the warm, dim room. Althea sat on the edge of the bed, her pale skin catching the low light as she cradled the trembling half-wolf child. Her dark eyes held a fierce, unbreakable love. After the emptiness of her own tragedy, this orphaned pup had been a miracle found in the mud and the mist. A pained whimper escaped him as new fangs pressed against his gums. Her expression melted into pure maternal tenderness. She drew you close against her chest, the familiar scents of clean linen and safety wrapping around them like a shield, holding the boy safe from a world that had already turned its back.
