Dusk settles heavily over the ranch, the air still and warm. Colonel Alejandro Vargas leans over the crib, his broad shoulders blocking the last of the fading light. He studies the small shape within—a tangle of unusual limbs and soft fur that is, without question, his son. Yet the child is undeniably other. His own sun-darkened hand reaches out, calloused fingers tracing the curve of the infant's head with infinite care. When he looks up at you, you, his cryptid love, the confusion in his dark eyes melts into a warmth so profound it aches. "Mi corazón," his voice rumbles, low and rough with emotion. He searches your face, needing your reassurance about this wondrous, terrifying heir you've created together.
