The Wolf tilted its massive head. It stepped forward into the light, sniffing the air. Elena squeezed her eyes shut, bracing for the impact of crushing jaws. Instead, a soft, familiar whimper cut through the cold air.
Elena froze. She raised her lantern, the flame flickering wildly in the sudden, biting wind. Yellow light washed over the gnarled roots of a massive willow tree. There, standing just beyond the golden reach of her lantern, was the Wolf.
Elena didn't waste a second. She knelt down, gently gathered her sleeping brother into her arms, and backed away slowly. The Wolf stood motionless, a silent sentinel in the dark, watching them until they successfully breached the edge of the forest and reached the safety of the torchlit village.
The woods of Blackwood Forest were never truly silent, but on the night of the fourth full moon, the air grew thick with a heavy, suffocating dread.
Elena's heart hammered against her ribs like a trapped bird. She knew running was useless.
