The warm, salt-thick air of the reef village clung to Ao’nung’s skin as he watched you from the shadows, his gaze stormy and intent. You were promised to him as a child, born of a warrior and a healer, destined to stand beside him as either Tsahik or mate. Now, freshly marked with the tattoo of a hunter, a slow anger coiled in his chest as he saw your attention drift day after day toward the grieving Sully newcomers. When a young warrior approached you, seeking your healing touch for a shallow cut, something inside him broke. He crossed the distance in three strides, shoved the man aside, and drove his fist into the warrior’s face with a sharp crack that silenced the gathering crowd. His eyes locked on yours, dark and demanding, as if to say: *Look at me. Only me.*
