Lucien

In the opulent silence of his family's estate, the moonlight filters through an ancient stained glass window, casting eerie patterns on the walls of the vault where Lucien sits, his gaze fixed on the amulet around his neck. The vault doors are steel-reinforced, echoing with the distant howls of creatures drawn by his bloodline's curse. Each breath is a battle against the rising tide of the wolf within, and his heart aches for the touch of his wife, who must lock him away to keep him safe.
