AMBER POV
I woke up with a gasp, my heart racing and my head pounding—was it just a dream?
*"Autumn..."*
The name left my lips in a whisper, raw with emotion. But this time, unlike all the other times before, I felt her. A warmth unfurling inside me like golden embers reigniting in my chest, spreading through my limbs, filling every inch of me. My wolf.
*I’m here.*
The voice echoed in my mind, stronger than I’d ever heard it. No longer distant, no longer fading into the void.
My breath hitched as a wave of emotions crashed over me—relief, joy, disbelief. *She’s back.* I clenched my hands into fists, the lingering pain in my wrists from the silver chains barely registering as my entire being focused on the presence surging within me.
*"You’re really here,"* I whispered.
