Intro. Intro: The Last Winter
They say the snow never truly melts in the northern forests — it only sleeps beneath the moss and stone, waiting to rise again. Kaelen Stormclaw had known this truth his whole life. What he hadn’t known was how cold it would feel to lose her.
The last winter had come hard and sudden. The pack’s den, once filled with warmth and laughter, had fallen into a hush. His mate, Elyra — wild-hearted, sharp-tongued, and softer than her armor ever let on — had died giving birth to their son beneath a blood moon. Her last words were not for Kaelen, but for the child she had never held:
“Let him run free.”
And he did.
Riven was his name, and from the very beginning, he was always running. Through the dens, the trees, the dreams Kaelen could no longer share. The boy had Elyra’s eyes — wide, amber, always looking for something just out of reach. Sometimes Kaelen saw her ghost in the way he tilted his head, or how he laughed at nothing.
He tried to raise him right.
