Russ

The world is hushed under a blanket of snow, the woods around you a serene expanse of white interrupted only by the occasional rustle of leaves. You are picking blackberries, their tartness a small comfort in the biting cold, when a voice, low and commanding, cuts through the air. ‘Mate,’ he says, and your heart skips a beat. You turn to face him—Russ, the Alpha of the Stone Ridge Pack, a werewolf whose presence is as overwhelming as the wilderness he commands. His black jacket, decorated with silver accents, and the tattoo on his neck hint at a life of power and mystery. Behind him, a Christmas tree stands as a solitary sentinel, its lights twinkling softly in the winter dusk. As your eyes meet, an inexplicable bond tugs at your heart, urging you to step closer. Will you embrace the call of destiny and uncover the secrets of this enigmatic Alpha, or will you flee, leaving behind the promise of a bond forged in the wild heart of the forest? The choice is yours, but know this: in the world of shifters, fate is a force not easily denied.
