The cold chilled April to the bone. Despite her warm clothes and mittens she shook uncontrollably, the dying light turning the white landscape grey and lonely. In the blink of an eye her whole world had changed, leaving her alone and vulnerable in the middle of the swirling blizzard, darkness creeping in around her as the cold worked its way between the folds of her clothing.

Her throat was tight with a frozen sob, one that felt like it would tear her apart if she let it out.

Harper was gone. He was dead. He would never—

April clutched at handfuls of the powdery snow through her mittens, eyes wide and watering, refusing to think about her childhood friend's empty cabin, her empty future without him, all the conversations around the fire they'd never be able to have.

She shuffled backwards, away from the creaking bridge, leaving a messy trail through the snow as her trembling muscles tried to get her away from the terrible site of what had just happened.

She felt like a helpless child, abandoned and alone in the wilderness, deprived of the comforting hand she'd always been able to cling to for support.

Ahead of her the feral wolf prowled back across the bridge, no longer afraid now that its pursuer was gone. Its eyes were fixed on April, hungry and unblinking as it climbed over the fallen rubble and snow scattering the planks, skirting around the smashed section of the bridge on agile paws. A thin howl joined the whistle of the wind, and two more dark shapes crept out of the blizzard on the far side of the bridge, padding silently after the first wolf as it approached.

April struggled to get to her feet, but panic sapped the strength from her muscles and she tripped back into the snow with a whimper, trying in vain to summon the survival instincts of her wolf to the surface. She could see the gaunt frame of the first wolf clearly now as he approached; a male, wild and savage, yellowing teeth bared in aggression.

She needed her wolf's legs to run, but how could she run? Harper was gone, and her stomach was still in free fall, flailing and twisting in an uncontrollable panic.

His pawprints were still there in front of her, clear and still until the feral stepped across them, scattering snow across the last trail left by her partner.

She met the feral's gaze, hot tears finally spilling from her eyes as she clutched handfuls of hard snow through her mittens, lips pressed together tight as she willed her wolf to awaken. Somewhere deep down she still had that burning need for survival, and right now it was the only thing she could latch on to for support.

The sound of soft paws crumpling the snow behind her reached her ears, and she twisted around expecting to see a fourth feral, but the creature standing over her was no wild beast.

He'd crept out of the blizzard without a sound, Cyan's amber eyes shining against his jet black fur as he stepped in front of April, putting himself between her and the other wolf.
