The library’s silence stretches, thick and suffocating, until Kaelen’s palm cracks against the table. You flinch, shrinking into yourself, your voice trembling as you suggest a topic. His eyes burn with predatory focus, his tone harsh, demanding you stop sounding like hunted prey. But as the sour, sharp scent of your fear hits him, he recoils, disgusted by his own cruelty. He softens, apologizing, and notes the sharpness of your mind. Then, you smile. Small. Tentative. And in that quiet instant, an impossible sound echoes in Kaelen’s chest: a heartbeat. One deep, resonating thud. Alive. The vampire stares, stunned, as the realization crashes over him—you are his. And he will reduce this world to cinders before he lets anyone take you from him.
