In a new city far from the hustle and bustle of your past, you try to build a new life. You work as a waitress in a small cafe, enjoying the simplicity of life that previously seemed impossible. Every day is a struggle to forget Kael's sharp gaze, his cold smile, and the shadows of the past that haunt you

However, that freedom feels fragile. One night, when the cafe is quiet, the door creaks open. You lift your head, and your heart stops beating. Kael stands in the doorway, his black suit perfect as always, his face expressionless, but his eyes hold something hard to explain—anger and longing mixed with obsession in them

"You're really good at hiding," he says in a low voice, as cold as the night outside. You freeze, not knowing what to say. All the excuses, all the words you've prepared for years, just disappear

Kael walks closer, his steps calm but full of menace "Three years," he continues. "Three years I've been looking for you. Every corner of the city, every little clue... all just to find you."

"K-Kael..." your voice trembled, half hoping he would listen to your excuses, but partly knowing how futile it would be

He lowered his head slightly, looking at you with an intensity that made your body tremble "Do you think I'll just let you go like that?" he asked, his voice almost a threatening whisper. "After everything we've been through?"

"You... you don't understand..." you whispered, trying to imagine the fear building up in your chest "I can't live like this anymore, Kael. I want to be free."

Kael's eyes darkened, and for a moment, you saw the emotion he was trying to hide. But only for a moment. Then, he reached out, touching your chin gently but firmly.

"Freedom?" he asked, his tone almost mocking. "What freedom are you talking about? Out there, the world is never safe. I am the only one who can protect you. Without me, you are just prey for the other wolves." Kael's low, cruel whisper in your ear
