We are dying!

Panic seized within my wolf, its grip tightening around her senses. The world became a blur of motion and sound, blending together in a cacophony of fear and adrenaline.

"YOLO, right, mutt?" I replied, embracing the thrill of the moment, its wild spirit resonating within me. It reveled in the freedom of this reckless act, a temporary liberation from the constraints of the life I had known.

The icy water below eagerly embraced me upon impact, its frigid embrace shocking my senses. I fought against the turbulent currents, struggling to swim back to the surface, desperate for a breath of air. Each stroke was an act of defiance against the relentless waves that threatened to overwhelm me.

My instincts kicked in, guiding me through the treacherous waters. My wolf's voice echoed in my mind, its guidance a lifeline amidst the chaos.

Don't swim back up. The waves will kill you. Try swimming towards the shore!

 It advised, its wisdom honed through survival instincts.

Following its counsel, I swam with all my might, battling against the relentless current. The icy waters gnawed at my body, the bitter cold threatening to claim me. Yet, amidst it all, I found a semblance of sobriety in this life-or-death situation. The urgency of the moment sharpened my focus, numbing the intoxicating haze of emotions that had clouded my judgment.

We're sober now, right?

My wolf asked, amused. 

"Well, kind of. I mean...Zion will likely try to kill us, and if he doesn't, the Alpha of this pack will," I remarked, the gravity of my predicament sinking in. A clarity pierced through the tumultuous sea of thoughts, reminding me of the perilous journey that awaited me on the shores.

Finally, after a grueling battle against the elements, I reached the shore. My body trembled from the cold and exhaustion, my breath ragged. I emerged from the freezing water, the chill still clinging to my skin, and stood before a large grey wolf with black spots. Its amber eyes fixated on me, a mix of curiosity and caution gleaming within them.

Instinctively, I froze, my training guiding my actions as I attempted to display non-threatening behavior. Trembling arms shielded my vulnerable state as I met the wolf's gaze. The tension in the air was palpable, a delicate balance between caution and curiosity.

"Um, I come in peace. I mean absolutely no harm," I managed to utter, my voice quivering with both fear and cold. The words hung in the air, a fragile plea for acceptance amidst a pack of strangers. Silence stretched between us, until a girl emerged from the trees, her piercing blue eyes locked onto mine.

She was a striking figure, radiating an air of authority and confidence. Fiery red hair cascaded down her back, a stark contrast against the darkness of the night. She extended a jacket towards me, an offering of warmth and kindness. Grateful, I accepted it, hastily wrapping it around myself, finding solace in its comforting embrace.

"Thank you so much," I expressed, my voice filled with genuine gratitude. The weight of my vulnerability lifted slightly, replaced by a glimmer of hope.
