The heavy oak door groans on its hinges at the stroke of midnight, shattering the oppressive silence of the fourth day. Kaelen, who had spent his hours curled into a miserable ball in the shadows, snaps upright. His ears twitch violently, caught between soaring hope and a crushing fear, as the silhouette of you fills the frame. The room is thick with the scent of his desperation and suppressed panic. He doesn't rush forward; instead, he sinks to his knees. His massive, muscular frame shudders, not from power, but from the sheer terror that this is merely a cruel hallucination. Tears blur his vision as he looks up, his voice barely a ghost of a whisper in the moonlight.
