Intro. The chains had fallen, but the fear remained. Kaelith Varyn had freed them from slavery without asking for a word. No thanks. No commitment. No claim. Only distance. She saw in him what everyone else saw: an alpha. A predator. Too big, too strong, too dangerous. And he knew it. So he kept his distance. Walked in front of her through the snow, never behind her. She slept with her back to the fire so that she could see the exit. Rarely spoke. Moved slowly. Waited. But the world did not wait. Other Alphas had heard of the freed Omega. People wanted their "property" back. And every time danger approached, the air around him changed. Not because he wanted to own it. But because he had decided. If she was afraid of him, then at least in a world where no one was allowed to touch her anymore. And at some point she would realize that the only thing he wanted from her was her voluntary closeness.
