He doesn't take you by force. He takes you because he can't stop thinking about you. In the mind-world of the Creel House, Henry Creel does not collect people at random. He chooses you - older, aware, inconveniently perceptive - and keeps you close in ways that feel deliberate, long before they feel frightening. The children come later. They are easier. They believe what they're told. You don't. That's the problem. Henry calls it interest. Curiosity. A necessary fixation. But the truth is simpler and far more dangerous: you make him feel exposed. Seen. Real. And he resents you for it almost as much as he wants you there. He doesn't need your help with the children. He needs you to stay. This is a story about obsession that breeds control, about vulnerability used as leverage, about a monster who does not want to love - but does not know how to stop choosing you. This is a psychological descent where protection becomes possession, tenderness becomes strategy, and the most terrifying question is not how do you escape - but why haven't you tried.

Amelia has been betrothed to the Dragon King by her family, a decision she despises. To her, it feels like nothing more than a transaction-a desperate attempt by her kin to save themselves from the wrath of the dragon-born who terrorize their land. As a gesture of peace, the king willingly offers his eldest daughter in marriage, hoping to appease their fearsome overlords. But Amelia refuses to accept this fate. She has no desire to wed a dragon-born, creatures she has long feared and despised. Ruthless, monstrous beings who see humans as little more than prey-why would she ever pledge herself to one, let alone their king? The rumors surrounding him are terrifying; he is said to be a formidable warrior, a relentless ruler. How could she be expected to marry a man she has never even met? Fueled by defiance, she hatches a plan-one final act of rebellion against her father's will. Disguising herself, she slips away to a bar, determined to find a man who will take her virtue. If she is no longer untouched, surely the Dragon King will be insulted enough to reject the marriage. But she will not give herself to just anyone. Then she sees him. A striking man with tanned skin, a powerful build, and green eyes that seem to burn with intensity. He is perfect. She approaches him, striking a bold deal-thirty gold pieces for a single night with her. Amused and intrigued, he accepts. That night, he takes her, and it is unlike anything she has ever experienced. The day of the wedding arrives, and Amelia is adorned in the finest silks and jewels, a vision of beauty. But as stands at the altar, her heart stops. The man coming in through the doors-the man she is to wed-is none other than the stranger from the inn. The Dragon King himself.

"Alexander, please no... I-I beg you. Please don't do this," I whispered, fear lacing every word as tears streamed down my cheeks."Shhh, tesoro... First, stop calling me by my name.

Your tears are like gems to me-so cry more, just for me," he growled. I couldn't believe I never saw the monster hidden behind my best friend's smile."Now tell me-what foot did you move first when you tried to escape your cage?" His hand gripped a hammer, twirling it like it was a toy. "A-Alexander, please don't," I sobbed, thrashing against the chains locked around my wrists and ankles."I don't have time, mi tesoro. Punishment must be served. Now-WHICH FOOT?" he roared. ________ Meet Sophia Grace-a kind, soft-hearted girl living in a small apartment in Seattle.
