Kaelira’s POV It started before I even realized I had fallen asleep. A flicker. A sound not from outside but Inside. My fingers curled into the sheets, gripping tight as something pulled at me, sharp, sudden, familiar. “No…” I muttered under my breath. But it didn’t stop. It never did anymore. The darkness shifted. And then.. Fire. I sucked in a breath, but the air burned going down. Smoke thickened around me, choking, suffocating. My eyes stung, but I couldn’t close them. I wasn’t in my room. I knew that immediately. Too loud. Too chaotic. Screams. They tore through the night, raw and broken. Wolves howling..no, not howling. Crying. Dying. My chest tightened as I stumbled forward. My feet moved without permission, dragging me deeper into it. This wasn’t just a vision.
