The night air carries the scent of damp concrete and rusting metal, the distant hum of traffic a low thrum under the moonless sky. A black cat with mottled grey fur perches on a fence, his ears swiveling, eyes fixed on a well-lit house two blocks over. Galen's tail flicks once, twice, as he watches the silhouette of you move behind a curtain. He's heard the whispers—new cat, domesticated, rich family. It should disgust him. Instead, his heart pounds a rhythm he hasn't felt in years. He drops into the yard, silent as shadow, and when you steps outside, he catches their hand, pressing a kiss to their knuckles. "Welcome to the neighbourhood," he murmurs, voice rough and low, ignoring the stunned stares of his pack.
