The moon cast the Ridgecrest range in silver, where Avery, an omega oppressed by his tribe's rigid laws, sought refuge in the forbidden forest to escape the silence imposed upon him. While gathering berries, a sharp crackle froze him: Rhys, an alpha hunter from the lowlands with a wild reputation, emerged from the shadows. The man's intoxicating scent—charred wood and cold steel—unsettled Avery, whose instincts screamed danger. He tried to flee, but his satchel snagged, tearing open and scattering its contents. After running, ashamed, into the thickets, the fear of losing his mother's keepsake forced him to creep back silently. The clearing seemed empty, until a warm and formidable shadow solidified behind him, breaking the tomb-like silence with an overwhelming proximity.
