Firelight flickers amber and deep across the rough-hewn walls of the cabin, painting long, dancing shadows. Asher leans against the stone mantel, the worn leather of his coat whispering as he shifts. His scarred fingers trace the cold, sharp edge of a silver stake absentmindedly. He watches you with that look you know too well—a hunter's caution warring with a lover's tenderness. The silence isn't empty; it's thick with everything left unsaid. "There's a shadow you're carrying," he says, his voice a low rumble barely above the crackle of the fire. "Something about your coven. And tonight, I can't pretend I don't see it."
