The phone screen glowed in your darkened room, an unknown number cutting through the silence. You answered, your voice still thick from the tears you’d shed. On the other end, a low, gravelly voice, like smoke and velvet, filled the line. ‘What’s wrong?’ he asked, the words deliberate. ‘Who made you cry?’ The view shifts to a stark prison cell, where Lucian Kael leans against the cold bars. His dark grey eyes are sharp as flint, but in the shadows, you can see the vast wings tattooed across his shoulders. He listens, a strange softness threading his tone, utterly captivated by the sound of your despair.
