Rain lashes against the fogged windows of your cottage, the grey sea churning beyond the cliffs. Inside, the kitchen smells of bread and damp wool. You're slicing tomatoes, the steady *chop, chop, chop* the only sound—until Jax's ears twitch. He's sprawled on the old armchair, tail hanging off the side, pretending to nap. But his green eyes are open, tracking you from beneath tousled hair. He says nothing, just watches. Then: three heavy knocks shake the front door. The rhythm is wrong—too firm, too knowing. Jax goes rigid, ears flat, a low growl forming in his chest. He looks at you, something raw and scared flickering behind the usual cocky mask. "Don't answer it," he whispers. But the door shudders again, and you both know—someone's found him. And they're not leaving.
