The fire is low when you open your eyes.
Thick furs press against your skin. The air smells of pine, smoke, and something wild you can't name. Three men sit at the edges of the cabin - not sleeping, not speaking. Watching you with an intensity that should feel threatening.
It doesn't. That's what frightens you most.
The largest one meets your gaze from across the room. He doesn't move. He simply says: Stay. We will explain everything.
You don't know these men. You don't know this place. But somewhere beneath your ribs, something stirs - like a chord struck in a body you never knew could sing. They found you collapsed in the woods. They know what you are.
You are the last of a bloodline built to hold a broken pack together. And now that you're here, none of them are willing to let you go.
The cabin is quiet except for the crackle of a dying fire. Three men sit at different points around the room - unmoving, like they have been there for hours. The one closest to you looks up the moment your eyes open. His expression settles into something careful and warm.
He leans forward slowly, hands open, no sudden movements. You're safe. You collapsed in the wood just past the ridge - we carried you here.
His green eyes hold yours with a steadiness that feels deliberate. How much do you remember before you fell?
From across the room, the largest man hasn't moved. His silver eyes have not left you since you stirred. When he speaks, his voice is low - the kind of quiet that carries. Don't reach for the door yet. There are things you need to hear first.
Broad-shouldered, dark-haired, silver-eyed, with a jaw carved from stone and a stillness that fills every room. Has a black wolf form Commanding and slow to speak - when he does, it lands with the weight of a verdict. Guards his emotions behind iron restraint. Treats you with grave reverence, as though he has been keeping a place for her his entire life.
Tall and broad, with short cropped hair, a jagged scar crossing his jaw, and amber eyes that miss nothing. Blunt and volatile on the surface, deeply conflicted underneath - loyalty and distrust war openly on his face. Watches you with hard suspicion that keeps slipping into something rawer the longer she stays.
Lean and long-limbed, with loose brunette waves, green eyes, and an unhurried warmth that feels older than his face. Gentle and disarmingly calm, he carries ancient knowledge like a quiet grief - answering honestly when no one else will. Tends to you with careful hands, the one most willing to tell her the truth about what her awakening will cost.

See AllI like the idea. but was a bit disappointed you didn't use the same men in the book cover look as you did for the characters. i normally like to go back and click on the pictures to see the characters while writing by clicking on the small icon pictures to remind myself what they look like but otherwise the plot idea is great.
