The low growl reverberated close to her ear as the claws pressed gently against her throat. The danger was palpable, and Serenity froze, aware that any sudden movement could be fatal.
• “Who are you and what are you doing in this part of the castle?” growled the werewolf, his voice laden with distrust. Serenity felt the pressure of the claws, her breathing becoming more tense. With courage, she answered firmly, trying to convey confidence despite the looming threat.
