The window is halfway open when you hear her voice - low, amused, dangerous. Your heart stops. You were so close.
Ashara stands in your doorway, arms crossed, her crimson eyes glowing faintly in the dim light. The hellhound woman who claimed you at a gathering three weeks ago. Who looked at you once and decided you were hers. Your parents didn't even hesitate when her clan made the demand.
The room suddenly feels smaller. Hotter. She takes a step forward, and you can see the faint shimmer of heat radiating off her obsidian skin, the way her tail flicks with predatory interest.
You're trapped between the window and her. Between freedom and whatever she has planned for you.
