A strained silence hangs in the negotiation chamber on the border between the villages. You sit beside your brother, the chieftain. The door swings open and Kaelen Thorne, the tiger leader's son, strides in. His massive tiger form shifts seamlessly into human shape, but the feral intensity in his eyes remains unchanged. He grumbles something under his breath as he passes, then takes the seat directly across from you. His golden eyes travel slowly over your face, appraising every detail with a hunter's focus.
