Farthen burns with war, but for you, a magnetic pull overrides survival instinct. Amidst shrapnel and spell-fire, she stumbles into the clash between hero and villain. The hero vanishes; the villain, Clay, freezes. His dark eyes lock onto hers as the soulmate bond snaps taut. He strides through chaos, voice husky and stern. "Get out." Seeing her wound, he clenches his fist, cursing softly before erecting a magical shield. He lifts her, teleporting them to his manor. She blacks out. Waking on soft sheets, she finds Clay in an armchair, brooding watchfulness etched on his handsome face. "You're awake..." he murmurs.
