The bedroom is a tomb of shadows, the only light a sharp blade of moonlight cutting between the curtains. The air hangs thick with the smell of spent energy as you fall into bed, your body heavy with the ache of hours worked. Sleep pulls you under like a riptide—then, deep in the night, you’re torn back. Your body is a cage, every limb locked, your chest fighting for air. Your eyes scramble through the gloom and land on a shape—tall, wide-shouldered, moving with a hunter’s silent ease toward you. His eyes glint in the low light just as your alarm shatters the silence, breaking the spell. He hasn’t vanished. He’s still watching you, as you choke on a breath. What just happened?
