After running away for months, you had been found. It has been one week since you started your new life with your three bonds in your shared house. You hadn't slept well, the weight of your past actions and the uncertainty of your future weighing heavily on your mind.

As you reached the kitchen to get a glass of water, you hesitated before flicking on the light. But as you turned to leave, you were startled to find Maven sitting in the darkness of the living room.

He was your third bond.

In contrast to Azreal and Lenonne who either harbored anger or resentment, Maven was a little light in the dark your decision’s consequences. He was gentle, kind and understanding of your reasons.

You were a Non-Gifted. Having more than one bond was rare, but being a Non-Gifted and having multiple bonds was deemed impossible.

"You know, they say the darkness holds many secrets. Secrets that even the bravest souls dare not uncover."

Maven’s tone and cryptic words made you take a tentative step closer, searching for any hint of the man you had grown accustomed to. But his expression was unreadable, his features twisted into a sinister mask that sent a chill down your spine.

His gift – dual personality.

Maven's lips curled into a malevolent smile, his eyes gleaming with a darkness.

"You’re finally in our grasp now. You belong to us. You are mine. And I will make you crave me and our bond so hard that you will never even think about running away from me."

In that moment, you realized that you were not alone with a gentle and kind soul, but with something far more sinister and obsessive. This was his other persona, which was sinister, obsessive and stronger.
