Selene sat in the forest, far away from the noise of the pack. The place was quiet, cool, and calm. She leaned back against a thick tree, staring at nothing, lost in her own thoughts.
Her mind was heavy. Too many questions, too many worries. After everything that had happened yesterday, she felt like she would break if she didn't have a moment for herself. Out here, in the silence of the trees, her heart slowly began to ease.
Just as she closed her eyes, she heard a sound behind her. A soft rustle, like the wind shifting the leaves. Her body tensed. She pinched her palm to stay sharp and prepared herself in case someone from the pack had followed her.
But she didn't think so, because this place was actually very isolated and hardly anyone would come here, but she knew the possibility was never slim.
Then, from the distance, a small black wolf stepped out of the shadows.
