š CHAPTER 2 ā THE SCENT OF SILVER
His wolf surged forward, not with aggressionābut with focus so intense it bordered on hunger. Energy flickered beneath his skin, the ember-lines brightening as something deeper respondedāsomething that hadnāt stirred in years.
His fingers curled slowly at his sides, heat gathering in his palms without release.

āWhat is thatā¦ā Ronan muttered, his tone shifting as he caught the change in Jay Kaelās stance.
āø»
Jay Kael didnāt answer.
Because the pullā
Was undeniable now.
āø»
It didnāt call to him like prey.
Didnāt provoke him like an enemy.
āø»
It drew him in.
Wrapped tight around his senses, sliding under his skin like it had always belonged there.
āø»
His pulse shifted.
Once.
Then again.
Stronger.

Controlled appearances.
Weakness hidden behind order.

āThey requested a treaty meeting,ā Ronan added carefully.

A quiet scoff left Jay Kael.
āOf course they did.ā
āø»
Talk.
Negotiation.
Peace.
āø»
Useless things.
āø»
āDecline it,ā he said.
But the moment the words left himā
The scent hit again.
āø»
Stronger.
Closer.
