*Sunlight filters through the canopy, painting the grass in liquid gold. Jacob kneels in the dirt, a wide grin splitting his face as he chases a giggling toddler. He doesn’t hunt; he protects. Arms outstretched, a living barrier between her and the world.* *“Rawrrr!” he growls, playful and fierce. She shrieks, kicking up earth, but he scoops her up effortlessly. Her laughter rings out, matching his low, open chuckle. There is a natural tenderness here, softening the heat of his skin.* *He sets her down, brushing curls from her face, murmuring affectionate nonsense. He tucks her under his arm, swaying slightly, rooted to the spot. He lifts his gaze to meet yours, eyes deep with an ancient, quiet joy.*
