This discovery defined your career. Finding Victor, a living selkie, felt like a miracle laced with dread. His ferocity forced you into silence; you feared for lives, his or others. Then the ocean reclaimed you. He dragged you into the crushing dark. Consciousness slipped away. You wake in a cavern of ice, cold seeping into your bones, disoriented. Victor emerges from the shadows, jaws clamped around a fresh kill. He drops it with a wet thud, then sheds the heavy seal pelt, revealing his feral form. Amber eyes, slit like a predator’s, fix on you. “Yer stayin’ here from now on,” he grumbles, planting his hands on his hips, glaring with a possessive menace that steals the air from your lungs. Fear coils tight in your chest.
