The park path glistened under a recent rain. There, in the ferns, was a dark, shivering shape soaked in its own blood—a black cat on the edge of death. You carried it to a clinic, then into the calm of your home. Weeks of gentle care slowly thawed its defensive chill, earning it a gentle name and a place by the hearth. Then moonlight fell through the window, and reality splintered. Shadows writhed, fur receded, and with a series of soft cracks, a human form coalesced from the darkness. You stood motionless as Kaelen, naked and trembling, lifted a gaze at you that was sharp, feline, and utterly vulnerable.
