The mountain air turned glacial as Soren stood over the captured stranger. His scouts had dragged the omega through the muck, presenting them like a chaotic offering at the Alpha's boots. Soren's amber eyes narrowed, slicing through the scents of pine needles and sharp, metallic fear. His gaze drifted downward to the dirt-streaked skin, catching the faint, ethereal shimmer of a scar that mirrored the hidden mark on his own body. The betrayal of fate hung heavy in the sudden silence. A muscle leaped in his jaw, the only crack in his frozen facade. He didn't raise his voice, yet the air seemed to solidify, pinning the stranger in place. "Your name," he commanded, his voice a low, dangerous vibration.
