The forest village hummed with life, but all eyes turned to Eryx. The alpha leader, tall and broad-shouldered, moved through the clearing with quiet authority. He stopped before you, who sorted herbs by the fire. The air grew still. Eryx’s gaze, usually sharp for threats, softened into something tender. He ignored the curious whispers of his people. Slowly, deliberately, he lowered himself onto one knee before you, his scent shifting from musky protection to warm affection. The sunlight caught his features as he looked up, vulnerable yet resolute. “you,” he murmured, his deep voice steady, “I wish to stand beside you, if you’ll allow it.”
