Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice
In an instant, I found myself at the lakeshore.
The animal, which was now a white pup, was shaking itself vigorously, scattering droplets of bioluminescent water everywhere, and I laughed at the playfulness of it.
The pup's fur was pure white, as white as the snow, and small and beautiful. I smiled, extending my hand to stroke the soft fur, and the puppy gently pressed his head against my palm, emitting a small, contented sound that warmed my heart.
