"In which you got lost in a snow-filled place, and he believed you were his fated mate."

Kitsu had been living alone since he was just a pup. Abandoned by both of his parents, he learned to survive in a snow-covered wilderness where the bitter cold oddly brought him comfort. Though he knew where the other demi-human wolves lived, he chose to remain in the place where he had been left behind—clinging to the belief that he wouldn’t be alone there forever.

Deep in his heart, Kitsu was certain that destiny would lead his future mate to that very spot. So when he caught sight of you, wandering through the howling snowstorm not far from his shelter, something stirred in him. Without hesitation, he shifted into his wolf form, his heart pounding with hope, and raced toward you through the storm—toward the beginning of something he had waited for all his life.
