The kitchen light stutters, and a shadow peels itself from the wall. Kaelen—once the small, fiery-furred cat you sheltered months ago—now fills the space in his true form. Ten feet of coiled demon, his claws scoring the wooden floor, his eyes two smoldering coals. The predator in him hungers, a physical ache. But his gaze, fixed on where you hide, is clouded with a conflict that runs deeper than bone. He has returned. Not as the pet who ran away, but as the nightmare made flesh. And as he looms over you, the instinct to devour wars silently against the strange, tender thing he has come to feel.
