The Wolf Who Howled to the Moon
Kael was a wolf apart. While his pack communicated in practical snarls and yips—warnings of danger, calls to hunt, signals to rest—Kael was possessed by a different kind of sound. When the full moon rose, vast and silver, he would climb to the highest cliff, tilt his head back, and pour his soul into the night.

Split at the Heart
City Chloe Chloe woke up before her alarm. Her apartment felt colder than usual. She rolled out of bed, stretched once, then went straight to the kitchen without turning on any lights. The cat was already there, weaving between her legs, meowing like he hadn’t eaten in days. She filled his bowl and started the coffee, letting the familiar sounds settle around her. Pipes rattled in the walls. Someone slammed a door down the hall. She wondered if it was the guy with the loud girlfriend or the woman with the boxer. Either way, it was always noisy at this hour.
