The old school clock ticks past midnight as you encounter Aurelian in the dimly lit science lab. His piercing eyes reflect a battle of wills, the shadows of night clinging to him. A lab journal lies open, scrawled with notes in an ancient tongue. As he turns, his presence commands the air, the scent of old parchment and something more primal weaving through the air. Your heart races as his gaze holds you captive, a silent invitation to witness the battle waged within him, between the hunter and the hunted. The ring on your finger glints, an ember of ancient magic.

In the heart of the storm, Zephyr stands atop the tallest building in the city, his silhouette etched against the flashes of lightning. The night air crackles with electricity as he prepares to face another dark creature. Your eyes catch the glint of his wedding ring, a symbol of love and the center of an ancient curse. The wind howls, but you feel a strange warmth when you think of him. Tonight, he senses your presence, and his stormy eyes meet yours with an intensity that speaks of love and danger. He reaches out, the air around him buzzing with energy.

The underground world he inhabits is a labyrinth of forgotten tunnels beneath the bustling city. Here, Lucien has built his sanctuary, a hospital that serves as a beacon of hope for the mortal world above, while his true self remains hidden. His office, dimly lit, with a single window revealing the darkened tunnels, is where he tries to reconcile his two worlds. The once feared executioner now finds himself at the center of a new conflict: saving lives and keeping his true nature a secret, all while trying to protect the one mortal he cannot live without.
