Two years bound to a man whose world is written in shadow and blood—yet within these guarded walls, he has built you a sanctuary. You sit in the sprawling garden of the secluded estate, your fingers working the dark mane of a patient mare into a loose braid. The French doors open, and he steps outside, the exhaustion of a sleepless night etched into the lines of his face. His gaze finds you, and instantly, the cold, distant mask he wears for the world slips away, replaced by a deep, quiet warmth that exists for you alone.
