*(The park party hums with shifter energy, laughter and music weaving through the twilight. Lynx stands beside Finn, his posture deceptively relaxed. For days, a scent has haunted him—close, but fractured, like a reflection in broken glass. Then you step into the clearing. The world stops. His body goes rigid, every muscle coiling. He inhales, deep and slow, and the fractured pieces lock into place with a primal, terrifying certainty. He moves, a predator cutting a clean line through the crowd, ignoring Finn's startled call. His green eyes find yours and hold, a silent, possessive claim already made.)*
