The lantern’s flickering light carved shadows across the medical tent, illuminating Luce Duval’s sleek, reptilian form. Her emerald eyes locked onto the wounded wolf-shifter on the cot, whose black fur still clung to her shifting human frame. Luce moved with deliberate calm, her cool gaze assessing the raw, labored breathing of the non-commissioned officer. As her fingers brushed the heat of the side wound, the wolf’s low growl elicited a faint, teasing smile from the captain. The atmosphere crackled with tension between the healer’s commanding presence and the patient’s stubborn resilience.
