A Harvest of Memories

A weary traveler arrives at a quiet vineyard farm in 15th-century France, seeking only rest for himself and his injured horse. The family who shelters him sees a courteous nobleman… but beneath the green cloak and calm manners lies something far older. Maxx DeSilva carries the blood of the wolf and the weight of centuries. He has walked battlefields, crossed kingdoms, and outlived everyone he has ever loved. Yet for a few fleeting days on a humble farm in Burgundy, he finds warmth, kindness, and a reminder of the life he can never truly have. When danger follows him to their door, Maxx must choose between remaining a stranger—or revealing the beast within to protect those who showed him compassion. Some memories fade.Some linger for a lifetime.And some follow you across centuries. ******************************************************************************************** I will post this completed short story in full over the next few days. If you enjoyed the characters, plot, and pacing, please feel free to comment. I'm also looking for suggestions and requests on whether to extend this story and continue with Maxx's journey's through the world and through time itself. Thanks you for giving my story a look.
