The sun had set and the night was in full bloom around me. My mind was elsewhere, so it wasn’t until the wind blew downhill that I sensed I wasn’t alone. I stopped and slowly looked around. Aside from the flora around me, I couldn’t see who was near. I inhaled, trying to catch what wolves were near me, but the wind suddenly changed direction and made it impossible to pick up on their scents.“Ophelia.” My name was whispered all around me and I couldn’t gauge where it had come from. I spun around, my heart beating frantically in my chest. I wasn’t frightened, but there was something inside me—something that felt wild, even tantalised me.“Hello?” Silence greeted me and I shivered. There was a chill in the air that spoke of fall just around the corner. I started moving again, hoping that if someone wanted to play games with me they would see that I wasn’t in the mood. I could see the lights of the camp and picked up my pace. “Ophelia.”I felt warm breath tease the shell of my ear as they whispered my name.
