In the middle of the woods of Vincardine, Thea stood facing the most dangerous creature that her mind could imagine. And that creature, that grey wolf with brownish-black eyes, was no one but Rees, her fiancee.
The wolf growled in anger showing his sharp and long teeth when Thea tried to take a step back from her spot. He slowly walked in her direction on his four legs, waggling his furry tail in the air.
The more distance he covered, the more Thea tried to increase it. But she was no match to this giant creature who crossed the distance between them in long strides.
Thea's heart was beating too fast as if it was trying to leap out of her chest. Her body trembled when the wolf was barely a few inches away from her. She again tried to step away from him but lost her foot and fell on her butt.
