The forest floor shuddered under the weight of eleven wolves, their snarls tearing through the quiet. Dust and dead leaves lifted around their pounding steps, matching the ragged, frightened sobs of the small child they pursued. The little one had fallen, now curled into a tight ball on the ground, arms clutching a stomach that throbbed from the impact. Long shadows fell over the trembling form as the beasts drew near, their guttural growls thickening the air until the space between predator and prey vanished. The menace was palpable, a suffocating pressure, but in the depths of their dark, watching eyes, an unexpected softness lingered.
