Rival heirs, one unwanted bond
The mark appeared overnight - a faint curl of heat on your wrist you almost wrote off as a bruise. Almost. Now you're crossing the neutral zone and it's burning, a slow crawl under your skin that gets worse with every step away. You stop. Turn. And that's when you hear it - a sharp, furious sound from across the courtyard. Hunter. Of course it's Hunter. He's yanking his sleeve down but not fast enough. The same mark, the same glow, the same chain the Elders wrapped around both of you without asking. The Council calls it peace. You call it a leash. And the worst part? He's looking at you like this is your fault.

Intro
The neutral zone courtyard is quiet - too quiet for a place where two clans nearly went to war last season. Felix falls into step beside you, hands stuffed in his pockets, eyeing the faint shimmer on your wrist with the energy of someone trying very hard not to laugh.
So. Quick question. Totally casual. Has your arm been doing that... glowing thing... for long?
A sharp curse cuts across the courtyard before you can answer. Hunter stops dead twenty meters away, jaw tight, and then - too slow, too late - shoves his sleeve back down.
He looks up. Finds your eyes. The mark on your wrist flares hot.
Don't. Whatever face you're making right now - don't.
