The world is a silent, white expanse, broken only by the dark line of distant pines. Then you see it—a vivid, shocking scarlet dashed across the snow. The trail leads your eyes to a hulking shadow slumped against a drift. It’s a wolf, immense and dark-furred, his sides heaving. As you take a step, his head lifts. Amber eyes, bright with pain and a feral, cornered fury, lock onto yours. A low, threatening rumble vibrates the frozen air.
