The frigid night air was biting, with the temperature plunging to a bone-chilling minus 20 degrees Celsius.

The blizzard in the mountains grew fiercer, cutting across Bella's face like a bone-scraping razor-cold and sharp. The frenzied shadows of the trees, the howling wind around her, and the unspeakable eerie atmosphere added to the suffocating sorrow already weighing on her heart.
