   Summary

   Anyone else left with a gaping hole in their heart after Wolfbird Ch. 13/14? While we await Opal’s return, this is my outlet to assuage mine.

   This is an alternate universe—a divergent branch that picks up after Ch. 14 and finishes the story. Told entirely through text messages and mixed media.

   Both men continue to fight silent battles: Ilya, trapped in survival mode. Shane, drowning under perfectionism & identity crisis. Two worlds tethered by one connection. Can Hollanov find each other in this life?

   Of course, directly inspired by Opal’s incredible Wolfbird <3
