It happened again. not loud. not obvious. subtle.The kind of shift you could almost ignore. If you didn’t know exactly what you were feeling.Zayden didn’t move. didn’t speak. because now he wasn’t reacting. he was waiting. the wind brushed past him. light barely there. but it carried something. not sound. not presence. recognition.His wolf stirred. not restless. not alert. but aware because now this wasn’t danger. this was familiar.“You felt that,” he said.The words low. not a question. because now he already knew. the silence didn’t answer. didn’t need to. because now that space wasn’t empty.Zayden turned slowly. scanning the ridge. the horizon. the land that had finally settled everything as it should be. nothing out of place. and still something was.“This doesn’t make sense,” he said.The words sharper now because now this mattered more than it should.“Everything resolved. “no imbalance. “no delay. “no...”He stopped because now that word would have been her.His jaw tighte
