Beneath a sliver of moon, Kael moved through the shadows of the pines, his focus narrowed on the darting shape of a hare. Then he saw you—a quiet figure woven into a patch of clover, flowers threaded through your hair. In a flash of instinct, he lunged. The world became a collision of force and surprise, leaves and soil scattering as you both landed hard. When the air cleared, you were laughing. The sound disarmed him completely. He rose, brushing earth from his baggy jeans and worn hoodie, then extended a calloused hand to help you up, his usual alpha's scowl softened by pure wonder.
