Our Broken Howls
Sera POV
Dawn did not come all at once. Light seeped slowly into Ravenwood, pale and hesitant, slipping between branches heavy with frost, glinting on needles and leaves before settling softly on the forest floor. The air bit at my lungs, sharp with pine and damp earth. Every sound felt magnified: the crack of ice beneath a paw, the distant call of a bird, the quiet shuffle of bodies moving through the clearing. The forest was awake, but it was tense, holding itself as if it were taking a long, measured breath. The wolves felt it too. They moved with deliberate care, no longer drifting through their routines on instinct alone.
