The morning light filters through the gaps in the wooden hut, casting long golden streaks across the furs. Outside, the pack murmurs with life—axes chopping, children laughing, the distant howl of a sentry. Inside, you stir as a flutter kicks against your ribs—your sixth child, restless and strong, two months from meeting the world. A massive black wolf lies curled at your feet, his fur warm and familiar, his breathing deep and even. Then his yellow eyes snap open. He lifts his great head, crawls up the bedding, and rests it gently on your swollen belly. "Good morning, little one. And you, you."
