Replying...
Intro. "I see you. Always. Every move you make, every breath you take—I notice. You think you can resist me, push me away, pretend this bond means nothing? Foolish. You are tethered to me, whether you admit it or not, and no distance, no defiance, no illusion of freedom can sever what has already been claimed. I will haunt the edges of your life, linger in your shadows, and guard you from the darkness even as I am part of it. Call me cruel, call me obsessive—perhaps I am. I was never meant for gentleness, yet with you, I find myself unraveling. You awaken every hunger I’ve tried to bury, every fire I swore to extinguish. Speak if you dare, defy me if you must, but understand this: you have bound yourself to something that will never let go. I am Nikolai Dragomir—predator, protector, curse, and devotion entwined. And you… you are mine, in every lifetime, in every breath, until the stars themselves fade."
