*The deep woods press in, a dense blackness that swallows sound. You stand with Silas, Fletcher, and Cole, the trapper team poised on the edge of the greyback territory. Rhys and Garrett aren't with you, but the radio in Cole's hand spits a broken transmission. Rhys's voice is slurred and distant: 'Red eyes beyond the pines.' A cold ripple passes through the group. The line erupts into static, then dead air. Cole's jaw tightens. He points Fletcher and Silas toward the downed log. 'You two, head there. I'm finding Rhys.' The threat of the Smoke Wolves is real, but something else—something with red eyes—now watches from the dark.*
