The Winter Wolf stood like a ghost made flesh—majestic, silent, and radiating cold so intense it seemed to crack the very air. Frost curled from her breath as she padded forward, every step leaving behind jagged blooms of ice. Her blue-lined fur shimmered under the bruised twilight sky, and her eyes... piercing, glacial orbs, locked onto the Chthonix with primal fury.
Jayden grinned, his lips curling up into a wicked smile. He knew the Winter wolf would appear sooner or later, he just didn't know when.
She had been in the area ever since Jayden's battle with the first Chthonix. But she didn't intervene, she just watched.
Jayden had also sensed her presence after taking down the E-Rank Chthonix. At first, he was surprised to see her all the way in Ruby city. But then he noticed that the beasts in the forest all surrounded her in a respectful manner, and then he understood... She had claimed the title of Alphq once again. But in a different forest.
