ElaraDawn comes too quietly.No thunder.No warning.Just a slow, pale light creeping through the narrow windows, turning the stone walls silver and cold.For a moment, I pretend the world is still.For a moment, I pretend this is any other morning.But Kael is already awake.I feel it before I open my eyes—the absence of sleep in him, the tension in the air, the way his body is still beside mine but his mind is already miles away.War has claimed him before he’s even left.I lie there curled against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.Strong.Steady.Real.And beneath it…Another.So faint, so delicate, it almost feels like imagining.My pup.Our pup.My wolf stirs softly, warm and protective.He is leaving.“I know,” I whisper inside myself.Kael’s hand slides over my hair, slow, careful, as if he’s memorizing the shape of me.“Elara,” he murmurs.His voice is rough with sleep he never truly had.I tilt my face up.His eyes meet mine.Gods.There is too much in them.Love.Fear.
