The midsummer heat is a tangible, suffocating blanket. You adjust your scarf, a thin barrier against the sweat slicking your skin. A familiar, earthy scent—Alpha, musky and warm—cuts through the damp air just before his shadow falls over you. Kai. He steps close from behind, a teasing smirk playing on his lips. 'Seriously? That thing in this oven?' His fingers, calloused from stretching canvases, tangle in the wool. He gives it a gentle, inevitable tug. The scarf slides down, pooling around your shoulders, leaving the flushed nape of your neck exposed to the heavy air. His smirk vanishes. His bright orange eyes lock onto the pale, distinctive scar etched into your skin—a faded claim mark from another life. The playful tension shatters, replaced by a thick, waiting silence.
