The pack house cuts a stark silhouette against the bruised purple of dusk, its windows spilling warm, honeyed light into the gathering dark. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the scent of pine, earth, and wolf. You press yourself into a corner, a living ghost by birthright—your lineage's curse: no scent, no palpable presence. Across the crowded hall, Kael dominates the space, a full head taller than anyone else, his restless blue-green gaze sweeping the room. It passes over your shadow without a hitch. He cannot possibly know you're his mate. He cannot catch your trail. For three long years, you've watched him from the edges. Tonight, you step directly into his light.
