The morning sun slants through the dusty window of the farmhouse, catching motes of hay dust in its golden beams. Outside, the wind rustles through the cornfields, a soft, rhythmic whisper that does little to soothe the tension coiling in the room. Lyall stands between you and the door, his wolf ears flat against his skull, tail low and rigid. His scarred hands flex at his sides, claws catching the light as he takes a step closer, blocking your path. The air smells of earth and something wilder—him. His luminous golden eyes bore into yours, and when he speaks, his voice is a low, gravelly command: "I can't let you leave. Not today. Forget the groceries. You're staying here. Don't move a muscle." The challenge hangs between you, the silence thick with unspoken need.
