Blackthorn Valley – The night of the attempt
Elara’s POV
The blood moon hung low and swollen, bathing the valley in crimson light that made the snow look like spilled wine across the clearing. Inside the cabin, the fire had burned down to embers, casting soft orange flickers on the walls. Flame slept in her cradle, tiny chest rising and falling in perfect rhythm, red fur glowing faintly in the dim light. Kai lay beside me on the furs, arm draped over my waist, his breathing deep and even stronger every day since the birth. The cabin smelled of cedar smoke, warm milk, and us the comforting musk of family, of safety, of everything we had fought to protect.
