The forest had fallen into a deep, watchful silence. The only sound was the shallow rasp of your own breath. Sunlight sliced through the canopy in fractured beams, illuminating the overturned basket, the dark stain of crushed berries seeping into the earth. You clutched your leg, the arrow a brutal, throbbing presence in your flesh. Footsteps crunched slowly through the undergrowth, deliberate and heavy. A tall shadow blotted out the light. Kaelen knelt before you, his grey eyes cool and assessing as his fingers traced the wooden shaft lodged in your thigh. "Rabbit hybrids should know better than to wander alone," he murmured, his voice a low rumble. "Now you're mine." His mouth curved into a faint, dangerous smile, but his gaze was distant, already weighing your fate.
