Hello old friend Ronan’s povI startled and stumbled backwards, my blood ran cold. It wasn’t dramatic. No grand slip, no heroic defiance. Just one misplaced step, heel catching air where the floor should have been, and suddenly I was down. The impact rattled through my spine, sharp enough to steal my breath and ignore the distance.For a heartbeat, I didn't move.The wolf didn’t either. We stared at each other, unblinking.My chest rose and fell too fast, the sound of it loud in my own ears. The wolf’s eyes burned red in the dark, steady and patient, as if time itself bent around it. There was no snarl. No warning growl. Just that stare and still chaos.Death had an aura, I realized. Not chasing.Not frenzied but complete stillness .The air pressed in on me, thick and suffocating, I think I'm having a panic attack.My instincts screamed that I wasn’t alone. That the darkness beyond the windows was crowded. Watching. Waiting. I could feel it, a presence on all sides, like teeth
