In a quiet, watching house, something in the walls is listening. A silent child follows a gentle voice that seeps through the halls-never loud, never urgent, only patient and polite. It does not chase. It does not lie. Instead, it guides, leading the child deeper into hidden corridors and impossible spaces the house slowly reveals. The voice offers comfort, curiosity, and careful truths, but never the whole of them. And as the house begins to feel less like a place and more like something alive, the child must decide how far to follow... and what might be waiting when there is nowhere left to go.

The Lycan King's Human Mate
"Stop," the beast growled in my ear. The sound vibrated through my entire body. I froze for a heartbeat from pure shock. He lowered his head beside mine, breath warm against my neck. His voice was low, dangerous... fraying at the edges. "Aurora," he said, "if you run from me again, I will chase you. And I will catch you. His hold tightened as if proving the point. "I will always catch you." Tears spilled down my cheeks. "You're scaring me," I whispered, voice shaking. His breath hitched-barely, but enough that I felt it. For a moment, just a moment, the iron in his grip softened. His hand slid from my waist to my wrist, holding firm but no longer crushing. Then his other arm locked around my upper body, strong enough that escape was impossible. "Aurora," he said, his voice rough, "you cannot run from a bond like this." I shook my head violently.
