Rain lashes against the rotting timber of the orphanage hut, mirroring the storm brewing in you's soul. For a week, abuse has been the only constant. But today, the rhythm breaks. A carriage, bearing the insignia of crossed swords and a dragon head, cuts through the mud outside. Hope flares, desperate and bright. you bolts toward the gate, but a teacher’s grip clamps down. Instinct takes over; teeth sink into flesh. The guard releases, stunned. Through the downpour, two figures in black stand like statues. One is a secretary; the other is him. Devon Zenique. Towering, broad-shouldered, with slick black hair and eyes that burn with hidden red amber. He looks down, cold and intimidating, at the small, dirty girl standing her ground.
