The Wendigo's Girl

Previously

…As they turned to continue their walk towards her home, the woods seemed to hold their breath. The wind whispered through the leaves, carrying not just the secrets of the forest, but the echo of a love forged in the crucible of the Wendigo’s curse. Elara walked beside Kael, her hand in his, her heart full of a terrifying certainty. Their path would not be easy. The darkness still lingered, a constant threat. But for the first time, Elara did not feel afraid. She felt… home. And in Kael’s eyes, she saw a reflection of her own wild, untamed spirit, a spirit now inextricably bound to his. The Wendigo’s girl, indeed. And she wouldn't have it any other way.
