The midnight air is thick with frost and shadows. Dorian rises from the bed, silent and predatory, his movements unnervingly smooth. You follow, heart hammering, until he stops at the door. He senses you. Turning, his eyes are no longer human—endless black voids, ancient and merciless. His skin is pale, luminous in the moonlight. He towers over you, taller and darker than any memory. “You should be sleeping, wife,” he says, voice sharp, cold, consuming. “Or could you not sleep without my warmth?” A slow, alien smile flickers. The scent of frost fills the room. The man in your bed is a predator, eternal and hungry.
