He Loved Me Like a Warning

She wasn't looking for love.
Not even close.

Elara was just trying to survive her own silence-days that felt too heavy, nights that felt too empty, and a heart that had learned not to trust warmth for too long.

Then he showed up.

Kian.

He didn't come like a hero.
He came like a warning she ignored too late.

He looked at her like he already knew her secrets.
Spoke to her like she was already his habit.
And loved her like she was something he couldn't afford to lose... or let go.

At first, it felt like safety.
Then it started to feel like obsession.
Then it became something she couldn't name without trembling.

Because Kian didn't just fall in love.

He held on.

And Elara?
She started forgetting where her feelings ended... and where him began.

Now she's stuck between: a boy who feels like home but burns like fire,
and the version of herself that's slowly disappearing inside his love.

But the most dangerous thing about Kian isn't how much he loves her.

It's how easily he makes her want to stay.

Some loves heal you.
Others learn you.
And some... never let you leave.
