It surrounded Kimberly like thick smoke. Cold wind howled through the air, whispering voices she couldn't understand.
Her feet were moving, but she didn't know where she was going, only that something was very wrong.
She found herself standing on the edge of a cliff, staring down at what looked like a battlefield.
Below her, Alpha Theo stood tall and proud, but he was surrounded by five men.
Their faces were hidden under dark hoods, and their eyes glowed red.
The ground beneath them cracked with every step they took. They reeked of dark magic.
*What is this?* Kimberly thought, fear tightening her chest.
Theo didn't flinch. He stood firm, fists clenched, eyes sharp.
"Whatever it is you've come for, you won't find it here," his voice echoed across the cliff.
One of the men laughed, a cruel, empty sound. "You're strong, Alpha. But even you have limits."
Theo didn't reply. He launched forward, meeting the first attacker head-on.
