Wolf at the Door

The world-building feels rich and immersive, but I'm curious whether this society was mapped out in detail from the start or developed organically during writing.

While the chemistry was palpable, some moments felt like they skipped steps. Was this a pacing choice or just how the story unfolded for others?

The mix of supernatural lore and romantic drama works so seamlessly—I'm wondering if it was inspired by a particular myth or personal interest.
