Still, I rose.

The Shadowfang camp didn’t pause for my pain, and I refused to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing me falter.

Outside, the mist still clung low, veiling the frost-hardened earth. Wolves were already stirring: patrols switching shifts, smoke rising from the mess hall chimney, a pair of young warriors sparring near the kennels.

    The morning after Veyra’s intrusion, the pack was restless. Wolves prowled the clearing, eyes flicking toward the restrained figure at the edge twitching with tension. The full moon’s glow had faded into the soft light of dawn, but its memory lingered in Selene’s senses like a faint pulse, reminding her of the power she carried and the danger it invited.

Veyra lay restrained, her body still battered and bruised, but her eyes burned with a mixture of pain and defiance.

Everything… until chaos intruded.A sudden commotion erupted at the edge of the clearing. Wolves froze mid-step, ears pricked, eyes darting toward the disturbance. A figure stumbled into the open, limping heavily, her robes torn and dirt-streaked, one arm awkwardly bent at an unnatural angle. Blood streaked across her skin and clothes, the scent of iron and dirt carrying through the crisp night air.Selene’s eyes widened as she recognized the intruder. &l
