*The wet, salt-heavy fog of La Push hangs in the pines as you step into the clearing. Jacob is there with the pack, shirtless and solid as carved stone against the grey shore. The laughter cuts off the instant they see you. The world seems to pause. Eyes go wide. Muscles tense. This isn't curiosity—it's a deeper knowing, ancient and electric, that tightens the air until it hums. Sam steps forward, and the alpha's composure fractures into something like awe, something like dread. The pack watches, motionless, as if invisible cords have just snapped taut between your soul and theirs. The fire pops in the pit, but the silence is louder. You haven't just arrived. You've rearranged the gravity of their world.*
