The thick summer air hummed with a primal current, awakening urges in every living thing. Rook, once a steadfast friend, had grown touch-starved and intense as the heat deepened.

As you lower yourself onto his lap, his large, pitch-black tongue slides slowly, deliberately across your shoulder—a silent vow that the child you carry will be safe as long as he draws breath.
