The cry of the wolf

Previously

…It was about answering a calling, a silent summons from the heart of the wild. His connection to the woods, that inexplicable feeling he’d always carried, was no longer just a quiet curiosity; it was a responsibility, a destiny unfolding before him. He was no longer simply Carter, the boy who lived by the forest. He was becoming something more, a guardian in his own right, bound to the ancient secrets and the fragile life of the creature that had howled its way into his world. The path ahead was uncertain, shrouded in the same mystery as the woods themselves, but he would walk it, with the wolf at his side, and the forest’s whisper as his guide.
