Great Bear Wilderness the wolf bites back

mahina’s eyes cracked open to the harsh light filtering through the trees. her body ached, the remnants of sleep still clinging to her bones like a weight. she let out a low grunt, stretching, the muscles in her back pulling tight before releasing.

the world around her was quiet—too quiet. she was used to that. the moment her mind cleared, she pushed herself to her paws, shaking off the haze. no time to be dragging her feet.

with a sharp breath, she pushed forward and out from the mouth of the cavern she’d slept in, back into the forest.
