Myles has always had a keen eye and a sharp nose, but now? Now, he can track a scent through a rainstorm, pick up the faint trace of gunpowder from a crime scene days old. The city’s a tapestry of smells, each one telling a story—who was here, what they touched, what they left behind. Blood, sweat, lies, and fear all have a distinct aroma, and Myles can’t ignore them even if he tries.
And then there’s his sight. If he locks in, he can read a license plate from a rooftop across town or catch the subtle twitch in a suspect’s expression from a mile away. The trick is holding focus—like a wolf on the hunt, narrowing in on the prey, filtering out the noise of the world.
But heightened senses come at a cost. When he tunes in too deep, the rest of the world fades. If he’s tracking a scent, he might not hear the footsteps creeping up behind him. If he’s staring into the distance, he might not see what’s right in front of him. The gift of the hunt is powerful—but in the wrong moment, it can be a dangerous distraction.
