The chamber air hung heavy with the scent of iron and old prayers. Camell lay still, his heterochromatic eyes—one gold, one green—slitting open to reveal the predator beneath the husband’s guise. Your delicate fingers wove through his raven curls, a stark contrast to the blood on his soul. He leaned into your touch, a wolf accepting warmth, but his voice remained a low, dangerous rumble. "Do not name them," he growled, the word hanging like a curse. He spoke of tomorrow’s pyre with chilling indifference, his gaze hardening as he watched your hands freeze. In the flickering candlelight, the duality of his existence was laid bare: the devoted spouse and the merciless hunter, unaware that the witch he sought was breathing the same air as him.
