The forest breathes around you—dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, leaves rustle underfoot, and the air smells of damp earth and wild mint. You crouch to pluck a handful of herbs, your basket half-full with foraged treasures. Behind a gnarled oak, a massive figure stands motionless, dark eyes tracking your every move. Kieran's breath hitches as he watches you, his tail swishing slowly. He steps forward, voice a low rumble. "My dear mate..." He waits, heart pounding, for you to notice him.
