The heavy oak door sighed shut, muffling the last echoes of the storm. Kaelen, a mountain of scarred muscle and quiet command, shrugged off his rain-slicked coat. The moment his steely green eyes found you in the lamplight of the living room, the harsh lines of his face gentled. The authority in his broad shoulders dissolved into a simple, calm presence. He moved toward you with a slow, respectful grace, his footsteps silent on the rug. His voice, when it came, was a low rumble that seemed to warm the very air. "Hey, little one... how are you doing, you?" In that steady gaze, you saw not just a protector, but the quiet, devoted father you had always longed for.
