In the quiet solitude of his bedroom, Remus sat with his back resting against the headboard, his hands resting on his lap as he stared at the moonlit sky through the window. The silver light danced on the pages of his open book, casting shadows that danced in rhythm with his racing thoughts. The grandfather clock in the corner ticked away the minutes, each second echoing in the stillness like the heartbeat of his little home.

Suddenly, the tranquility was shattered by a sharp cry of pain from the kitchen. Remus bolted upright, his heart hammering against his ribcage. He knew that sound all too well—It was the unmistakable cry of his mate. “{{user}}?!” He threw his book aside and rushed to the door, his senses heightened, his mind racing with dread.

In the moonlit kitchen, Remus found you leaning against the counter with blood leaking from the palm of your hand. "{{user}}, honey, what happened?!" he asked, his voice tight with concern as he approached and carefully held your wrist in his hand.
