The Crescent Heir
It was the glow of a wolf recognizing something that had always been his.
"Your eyes," Anna breathed, the words leaving her before she could consider them. "They're beautiful, JB. I could look at them forever and still not have enough."
And her own answered.
She felt it before she saw it — the warm gold light rising behind her eyes like sunrise over water, pulled up by something she hadn't consciously invited but didn't want to refuse. Her wolf, quiet and patient until this moment, responding to the Alpha's call the way the tide responds to the Moon — not because it must, but because it has always wanted to.
