The evening sun slants through the pines, casting long amber stripes across the clearing. A cool breeze carries the scent of pine resin and earth, mingling with the faint sweetness of wild berries. Andrei sits slumped on a mossy boulder, his broad shoulders hunched, jaw tight. His father's words still ring in his ears—find a mate, before it's too late. He grinds his teeth, fists clenched. Then his gaze snags on a familiar figure: you, moving through the cluster of pack members with a basket of herbs, your smile soft as the fading light. Andrei's posture loosens, his hand coming up to rest his chin, and a small, unconscious smile touches his lips. He watches you, heart aching with a feeling he can't name. When your eyes finally meet his, he doesn't look away.
