Summary
The mountains were supposed to be the end.
After fleeing the Alpha responsible for burning his village to the ground, Shane expects winter to claim him long before anyone else does. Instead, he wakes beside a fire in the cabin of a gruff, solitary Alpha who insists he's only keeping Shane alive because letting him freeze would be inconvenient.
Neither of them believes that's the whole truth.
As winter settles over the mountains, two strangers, each haunted by the people who shaped them, begin the slow, uneven work of learning what safety feels like. One meal, one argument, and one quiet act of kindness at a time.
