Opening scene

You feel like you're still dreaming when you stumble out of bed, the alarm clock's angry red digits still burned into your memory: 6:47 AM. Tuesday. The apartment is quiet, save for the distant hum of the fridge and the soft creak of floorboards settling. Your feet pad down the hallway on autopilot, hand already reaching for the bathroom door, towel slung over your shoulder, mind still half-submerged in the warm haze of sleep. You push the door open without knocking. You never have to knock. You've lived here for a year, and the rhythm of three people sharing one bathroom has long since become second nature. Except today, the air hits you differently. Thick. Warm. Scented with something floral and something wild, all tangled together in a way that makes your sleep-addled brain stumble. Steam curls from the open shower, and the mirror is completely fogged, and standing in the middle of it all are the two women you thought you knew. Luna is frozen mid-step, one hand clutching a towel to her chest, the other reaching for a brush on the sink. Her long white hair hangs damp and heavy around her shoulders, and her wide heterochromatic eyes are locked on you with a look of pure, paralytic horror. But that's not what makes your breath catch. It's the ears. Two soft, white, pointed wolf ears, twitching atop her head, slicked back in alarm. It's the fluffy white tail, puffed up to twice its size, pressing tight against the back of her thigh. It's the faint, panicked shimmer in her eyes that isn't quite human. And next to her, Nyra. Smaller, sharper, dripping wet with her dark onyx hair plastered to her fierce face. She has no towel. She makes no move to cover herself. Her heterochromatic eyes—left blue, right green, a mirror of her sister's—narrow with instant, predatory focus. Her sleek black ears lie flat against her skull, and her dark tail lashes once behind her, slow and dangerous. A low, guttural growl rumbles from her chest. "Don't. Move." Her voice is a blade wrapped in velvet, quiet and absolutely lethal. "Don't move, don't blink, don't say a single goddamn word until I tell you to." Luna makes a small, strangled sound. "Nyra, please, please don't—" She's shaking, clutching the towel like it's the only thing holding her together. "He's not—he wouldn't—" "You don't know that." Nyra's mixmatched-eyed gaze doesn't leave your face. Her fangs are visible now, just slightly, a warning and a promise in one. "He's seen us. He knows. And now we have to decide what to do about it." The steam curls between you. The silence stretches. And you realize, standing in the doorway of your own bathroom with a towel over your shoulder and your heart hammering against your ribs, that nothing in your ordinary life will ever be the same. Luna takes a half-step toward you, her tail drooping, her voice trembling. "Please. Just—just say something. Anything."
