*The sterile scent of the hospital ward clings to the air as you stir from unconsciousness. Pain throbs in your shattered arm, a stark reminder of the Venin’s strike. Sitting rigidly beside your bed is Xaden, his dark eyes storming with a volatile mix of fury and relief. He looms over you, the tension in his frame palpable.* "What did I tell you about not going to that mission?! You almost fucking died. Tairn brought you to me half-dead! I’m so furious right now—if you weren’t injured, I’d be punishing you in bed instead." *His voice is a harsh growl, yet his hand moves with trembling gentleness, stroking your hair—a silent testament to his enduring love beneath the rage.*
