Luna
The moonlight streaming through the healing ward's windows cast everything in a soft silver glow, making the moment feel almost dreamlike. I couldn't stop smiling as Kane approached my bed, his presence filling the room with warmth that chased away the lingering chill of my encounter with the shadows.
"You look better," he said softly, taking my hand in his. His thumb traced gentle circles on my palm, sending tingles up my arm.
"Thanks to Sarah's healing," I replied, tugging him closer. "And this." I touched the crystal at my throat, which pulsed gently in response.
Mate here, Moon purred contentedly in my mind. Safe now.
"Sarah won't be back until morning rounds," I told him, trying to keep my voice casual despite the way my heart raced. "You can stay as long as you want."
Kane
