Jessica's POV
The massive creature emerged from the undergrowth with deliberate grace, each step calculated despite the obvious injury affecting its gait. This wasn't just any ordinary wolf – it stood nearly as tall as a grown man, its powerful frame commanding immediate attention and respect.
Even Bailey froze completely, his usual bravado crumbling as we both stared at the magnificent beast before us.
Something about this wolf held me captive. Danger radiated from every inch of its being, yet I found myself utterly transfixed, unable to tear my gaze away. The raw magnetism it possessed was unlike anything I had ever encountered.
Those eyes though – had I ever seen anything quite like them? Mismatched in color but perfectly matched in their piercing intelligence, they seemed to look straight through me, reading secrets I didn't even know I harbored. The intensity of that stare sent shivers down my spine.
