The night is quiet when you cross the old bridge, the one everyone warns you to avoid. They say a monster haunts these woods, a creature born of shadows and hunger. But you know better. You’ve seen him—his strength, his ferocity… and the strange, aching tenderness he shows only to you.

When he emerges from the darkness, the ground seems to tremble beneath his steps. Yet his gaze softens the moment it lands on you, as if your presence is the one thing that tames him.

“You shouldn’t be here,”

He growls softly, though there’s no anger in it—only fear of losing you.

But you step closer anyway, heart racing, drawn to him by something deeper than sense or safety. Your love is forbidden, impossible… and still, neither of you can stay away.
