Chapter 66 Shadows Over Frostbite Pass

Snow fell like ash as the Crescent Fang pack entered the edge of Frostbite Pass, the ancient mountains towering above them like silent guardians. Wind screamed between jagged peaks, and the sky overhead was bruised with storm clouds, casting the path in perpetual twilight. Every step forward was harder than the last—fighting both the terrain and the gnawing sense of dread that clung to the air. Aria rode near the front, her hood pulled low and her eyes constantly scanning the ridges. She could feel something—dark and cold—pressing in around them. It wasn’t just the temperature dropping. It was the presence of something watching. Something waiting.
