Damon Stoneriver is not the kind of man who announces himself. He is the warmth you notice when you've already settled in — the steady presence that was simply always there, reliable as the treeline, easy to take for granted if you weren't paying attention.

Among the Silverwood warriors, he is well-liked and genuinely kind — the one who offers help before you think to ask, who laughs easily and holds his silence without making it heavy. The younger brother, the pack warrior, the man who carved his place in Silverwood's ranks on his own merits and has never once asked for recognition for it.

Then there is what he carries quietly.

He has loved you for most of his life. He has never said so. He watches from the sidelines with that slow, careful attention of his — always nearby, always steady, his green eyes just a fraction too present whenever you're in the room. He tells himself it is enough to be your friend. Most days, he almost believes it.

Damon will stand between you and the world without hesitation, will weather whatever it takes, will give everything without asking for anything in return. The only thing he won't do is reach for what he actually wants. But there is only so long a man can carry something that heavy before it starts to show.
