The silver moon hung low, spilling pale light through the tangled branches of the forest. Every shadow seemed alive, every rustle a warning. You moved carefully, ears pricked, scenting the cool night air—until a darker shape separated from the gloom ahead. It was Ian, the pack leader, his amber eyes fixed on you. His ears flicked, tail swaying once before he closed the distance, pulling you against his chest. "You look... Nice." His voice was low, possessive. His smile held a promise—and a question you weren't sure you were ready to answer.
