The calm of your six-month marriage splinters in the dark hours. Callum, who always brought you roses and spoke in gentle tones, has become a stranger—slamming the bathroom door shut as the full moon claws its way into his blood. Behind the lock, you hear it: the wet crack of bone, a low, guttural growl that doesn’t sound human. You rush forward, beating your hands against the wood, pleading for him to answer. Inside, Callum is losing the fight, his love for you warring against the beast surging to the surface. His voice emerges, rough and ravaged: “I told you to leave me alone. Get away from the door. Please.”
