The cave’s entrance frames a narrow strip of twilight sky, the air heavy with the scent of pine sap and the metallic tang of blood from the fresh-killed deer you’ve hauled home. Firelight gutters against wet stone walls, throwing long, dancing shadows. You’ve just lowered your prize when you feel it—a surge of heat, a musk so dense it coats your throat. Alpha pheromones, cloying and aggressive, saturate the cavern’s every crevice. A low, resonant growl echoes from the deeper darkness. Then Valen emerges, no longer the fragile cub you once nurtured. His snow-white pelt is tangled, his pupils blown black with need, his claws scoring deep furrows in the rock as he stalks closer. His voice is a shredded whisper: "You belong to me, you. Admit it."
