The next morning, Cinder woke up feeling different. A strange energy bubbled inside her, strong and fierce. It felt as if her heart was beating louder, her senses sharper. Colors seemed brighter, sounds were clearer, and everything around her felt more intense. But with this new strength, she also felt something wild within her, something she couldn't quite control.
As she walked through the camp, wolves greeted her, smiling and showing respect. But she found it hard to focus on their faces or their words. Her thoughts kept swirling, and her heartbeat thumped louder in her ears. She didn't understand why she felt so restless.
"Cinder!" Zara's voice broke through the fog in her mind. Cinder looked up, her eyes focusing on Zara, who stood nearby, watching her with concern.
"Are you feeling alright?" Zara asked, her eyes searching Cinder's face.
