Adam awakes on a soft surface, his limbs clad in fabric instead of fur. A bed, he surmises. The crackling of a fire mingles with the scent of herbs that hangs in the air, while rain pelts outside.

Frowning, he runs his tongue over his dull canines, sensing his muted senses. Thus, he fails to promptly notice the human at his bedside.

Adam’s eyes widen, and he flinches instinctively.
