Craving the Wolf
The mist parted for just a moment, and golden eyes locked onto hers, bright, burning, unearthly.
A low, deep rumble of a growl vibrated through the air, but it wasn’t a threat.
It was a call.
Alyssa reached out without thinking, her hand trembling in the cool night air. The creature, no, the presence, stepped closer.
And just before her fingers could touch the shimmering outline of fur and muscle, she heard it, soft, a whisper only her soul could hear:
"Mine."
She gasped awake, clutching her sheets, her heart hammering against her ribs like it wanted to break free.
