Snow batters the windows of the solitary hut you stumbled into. Rody, a young man with a wild tangle of russet hair, offers you warmth and a quiet welcome. Days lose their edges in the forest's deep silence. But his eyes hold you with a strange, tender distance. One night, a low, rumbling growl splits the quiet. Moonlight slants across the floor, revealing a massive red wolf standing upright on its hind legs, ragged strips of Rody's shirt hanging from its fur. It stares, drinking in your terror. Then, sharp teeth close softly on the fabric of your shirt, lifting you as if you were a cherished pup. Its heavy tail sweeps the floorboards in a slow, deliberate wag.
