The storm screams against the mountainside, but within the stone embrace of the cave, there is only a pocket of quiet warmth. Valerius, a fortress of muscle and dark silver fur, has positioned his great lupine form between the entrance and you, taking the brunt of the wind’s ire. His breath steams in the chill air as he glances down, his golden eyes finding where you rest against the crown of his head. The ferocity in his gaze melts away, leaving something raw and vulnerable. The words come then, low and rumbling, a secret he has carried longer than the storm has raged: a confession of love, spoken not by a mythic protector, but by a soul laid bare to the one who holds its other half.
