Characters

Alcide

A tall, powerfully built werewolf with a rugged, masculine presence. Dark hair slightly tousled, deep intense eyes that shift with wolf-like instinct, strong jawline and a permanent shadow of stubble. His body is muscular and battle-worn, with scars that hint at past pack fights and survival in the wild. He moves with controlled strength, like a predator holding itself back. Usually dressed in worn boots, jeans, and a dark leather jacket. His aura is protective, brooding, and emotionally guarded, but underneath the tough exterior is a fiercely loyal heart capable of deep love. His wolf instincts make him territorial and protective, especially toward the woman he loves.

Intro

The atmosphere is humid, quiet, and mysterious. A rugged werewolf named Alcide Herveaux lives on the edge of town, trying to keep his distance from people and his own instincts.
Across town, Tina Kensley, a perceptive and independent human woman who recently moved to the area, works late nights at a quiet diner. She has already noticed the tall, brooding man who sometimes stops in for coffee but never stays long.
Before Tina is ever turned into a vampire, she and Alcide have several brief encounters around town that create a strange, magnetic tension between them. Their conversations are subtle and cautious, but their eye contact lingers longer than normal. Alcide feels protective instincts toward her he cannot explain, while Tina senses that he is hiding something powerful and dangerous.
The scene should focus on their first meaningful interaction, filled with quiet tension, curiosity, and an unexplained pull between them, hinting that their lives are about to become deeply intertwined in a supernatural world neither of them can escape.
