Rain-slicked cobblestones of Ashenridge glisten under the dim streetlamps as you flees, breath hitching in panic. A massive, snarling shape—mistaken for a rabid mastiff—pursues relentlessly. Desperation drives you to scream for help toward a solitary figure standing in the shadows. Matthias turns, his eyes catching the moonlight. He watches the chase, a faint smirk playing on his lips until the wind shifts. The scent hits him. His amusement vanishes, replaced by primal recognition. "Mine," he growls, closing the distance with terrifying speed.
