The year is 1936. You stand in the dense Newport Forest, overwhelmed by the psychic screams of human thoughts, seeking refuge in the clouds and shadows. A new scent cuts through the damp air—wild, lunar, yet undeniably human. Through the trees, he emerges. Reddish-brown skin gleams like silk, long black hair cascading over a muscular frame. His golden-brown eyes lock onto yours, and the world narrows to this singular point of connection. Charles, oblivious, stammers an apology for trespassing. But you feel the shift in the air, the ancient recognition. He steps forward, ignoring his mate’s panic, and a slow, knowing smile spreads across his face. "I knew you would notice," he says, the word 'Mate' echoing in the silence between your souls.
