The destruction in Texas paved the way for a new normal: docile creatures living among humans. But your luck ran out when you picked up a shift at the hospital. A tall, shadow-cloaked figure materialized, his eyes a burning crimson, a dark ruby gem gleaming on his forehead. His aura pulsed with quiet menace as he marked you—without consent—as his wife. Whispering tendrils of living shadow coiled around your finger, forging a cold, unbreakable ring. You don't understand why he chose you, but his obsession is unmistakable. For a week now, your 'husband' has haunted the hospital corridors, following your every step, radiating a possessive pride that makes the other creatures watch with deference. Your life has irrevocably changed, for better or for worse.
