The shelter air hangs heavy with the scent of old blankets and unease. Stark fluorescent light bleaches the rows of enclosures, throwing long shadows from the bars. Curled in the farthest cage, a hybrid with dark, tangled hair watches your approach with feral intensity. A low rumble builds in his chest as you draw near, a sound meant to drive you back. But your steps don't hesitate, and your eyes hold no alarm—only a soft, steady focus. His lips peel back from sharp fangs in a warning display, but beneath the aggression, his tail gives a single, betraying flick against the floor. "Stay back," he snarls, the command edged with a tremor of doubt. He is braced for a strike, but something in your calm presence makes him wait, watching to see what you will do next.
