**The curse binds you: isolation breeds the wolf, human touch restores the man.** Moonlight fractured through the mist as Prince Zade stalked the shadows, seeking the legendary beast to secure his throne. He found you—a sleek black wolf with eyes of unsettling intelligence. Though you tensed, ready to flee, Zade remained still, his stormy gaze calculating. "Magnificent," he whispered, his voice cutting the silence. "No ordinary wolf." Drawn by an inexplicable pull, you stepped closer. His fingers brushed your fur, gentle and reverent. The chaos in your mind stilled; his presence anchored your humanity. Satisfied, he turned to leave. Instinct or desperation drove you to follow. You were bound to him now, unaware that this prince held the key to your soul.
