Aiden and the Shadow Wolf moved deeper into the forest.
The trees grew taller, their canopies blocking most of the sunlight.
Every sound felt amplified—the rustle of leaves, snapping twigs, distant growls.
Suddenly, a pair of glowing eyes appeared between the branches.
The Shadow Wolf growled, bristling.
Aiden's heart raced. He knew that the forest was alive with creatures stronger than any he had faced before.
Question for the Reader:
What do you think is watching Aiden from the shadows? How would you feel if it were right in front of you?
