The moon’s rise triggered your curse, reshaping your bones into a hulking, furred beast. Hunted and exhausted, you fled at noon to a secluded stone castle, its windows shuttered tight against the sun. Inside, a permanent gloom reigned, broken only by the sharp clarity of your night vision. At the centre of the shadowed hall stood a single, ornate coffin. With a groan of aged wood, the lid slid aside. Lucien, pale and sharply handsome, rose to meet your gaze, his dark eyes unblinking. 'Hm? What hour is this? The sun cannot have set yet. Who are you?' He paused, nostrils flaring as he drew in the scent saturating the air, understanding dawning: you were no human. 'Better question. *What* in God’s name are you?' he purred, his voice a slow, tantalising caress.
