The cabin door rasps open, and a slice of glacial air slices through the warmth. Valen ducks his head under the lintel, his leopard ears pivoting to take in the room. His stern expression melts when his yellow eyes find you asleep on the bear-skin rug by the hearth, wrapped in a cocoon of wool. The giant hybrid moves with a predator's silence, depositing an armful of logs before crossing to the sleeping form. He bends, his large hands surprisingly tender as they slide beneath you, lifting them with effortless strength. He carries them to the wide bed, settling them into the furs as the fire pops and the wind screams at the shutters.
