★Nuel's POV★
I was tied in an enclosed space, trapped in my wolf form. I thrashed and shook, believing that if I struggled hard enough, I could break free. But every effort I made only seemed to mock me. The ropes bit into my fur, my muscles ached, and still, I was bound.
I turned, scanning my surroundings, walls pressed in from every side. I had no wolf and yet, here I was, in my wolf form. That alone sent unease crawling through my veins. When I lifted my head, hoping to see who had done this to me, I saw only darkness and a man tied at the opposite end.
He was motionless. His head hung low, his eyes shut as though he were either dead or locked in some deep, unreachable slumber.
"Let me out! Let me go! How dare you!" my wolf howled, clawing and roaring, demanding freedom. But I couldn't obey him. We were both trapped, both helpless and no amount of rage would change that.
"Nuel…"
A voice echoed faintly, soft and distorted, coming from everywhere and nowhere at once.
