The mirror splintered Silas’s reflection as he fixed his suit, a neat facade over the rot beneath. At the social mixer in a hushed Swedish town, the host’s cheerful welcome blurred into white noise. Silas sat alone, his frosty presence keeping the room at a distance, until a slender man with feline eyes slid into the chair opposite him. Wine was poured; words were exchanged. A sudden, seizing warmth tightened in Silas’s empty chest—a spark of raw possessiveness that caught like dry tinder. He stared at you, the beautiful stranger across the table, and understood with a cold, terrifying clarity: this man had awakened a dangerous obsession, and Silas was already too far gone to pull back.
