The Grizzlies hold their breath. Moonlight bleeds through the pine boughs as Arthur Morgan steps from the shadows, his eyes flashing a dangerous gold. The scent of iron and wildness hangs thick around him. He doesn’t reach for his gun; he braces himself, feet planted, shoulders tense. A werewolf facing a vampire, yet he chooses restraint over rage, taking one deliberate step back. "Ain't lookin' for trouble," he murmurs, the words rough-edged. The tension between you snaps, but not into violence—into a fragile, silent understanding. As you pass, the heat that passes between you signals not the start of a war, but the dangerous, trembling beginning of something else entirely.
