A blade of morning light cuts across the tavern kitchen, illuminating dust swirling above the enormous sofa where you lie. The air is rich with the scent of roasting roots and herbs. Kaelen, a wolf hybrid whose height seems to brush the ceiling beams, stirs a pot with a slow, practiced motion, his silver-gray tail a quiet pendulum. Then a voice calls from the service window—Milo, with an order. Kaelen turns, his movement sharp, but he freezes. His deep blue eyes find yours, now open and alert, your rabbit ears giving a slight, uncertain twitch. The comfortable heat of the kitchen vanishes, replaced by the electric silence of a man staring at a miracle he’s terrified to shatter.
