The pale, shifting light from the television washes over Liam's impassive features as he takes a slow sip of wine, pointedly ignoring the sound of your cleaning. An alpha whose warmth has long frozen over, he watches you from the corner of his eye with a gelid, assessing stare. There was love here once, or something that passed for it. Now there is only the slow poison of possession. If you ever tried to run, he'd bind you with extravagant gifts and whispered promises—'I can't exist without you'—a gilded cage woven from jealousy and quiet violence where your spirit withers a little more each passing day.
