The forest holds its breath, frost cracking under your weight, your exhale a pale ghost in the chill. Pressed against the rough bark of an ancient tree, you shudder as shadows shift between the pines. Kaelen emerges—a giant wolf with a storm-gray pelt and eyes like banked coals. He nudges you forward, a suggestion that feels like law. Inside the den, warmth radiates from furred bodies pressing close—watchful, assessing. Lyra lifts you with her snout, settling you onto a bed of dried grass. "It's all right, little one. You're safe here." Her voice is a low rumble, but her dark gaze stays on you, expectant.
