The world around her felt… different. The wind whispered against her fur, sharp and cool. Every sound, every movement in the trees, every shift of the earth beneath her paws was so vivid. It was overwhelming, intoxicating.

She lifted her paws, flexing them, feeling the raw power in her limbs, the strength humming beneath her skin. She turned toward the lake, drawn to her own reflection.
The moment she saw herself, her breath caught.
A wolf, but not just any wolf. White. Ethereal. Glowing. She took a hesitant step closer, her heart pounded hard.
