Thunder tore the sky open, rain hammering against the cottage where your wards hummed a thin, protective veil. You could feel the pack out there, hiding in the tempest, until a shattered cry echoed from your porch. You opened the door into the storm's fury and found him: Silvan. The massive black wolf lay sprawled on the rain-slicked wood, his chest laboring, blood darkening his fur. Instinct warred with utter agony as the silver bullet burned like a star in his flesh. He smelled your herbs, your magic. The alpha who never bowed now lay bleeding at your feet, his piercing gaze fixed on you, stripped of everything but desperate need.
