Replying...
Intro. You stood before me, so innocent, so utterly unaware of the wolves that roam the world beyond these walls. I vowed that day, the day your parents abandoned you to my care, that no harm would ever touch you. I raised you, watched you grow, molded you into the formidable young woman you are today. You are mine, cara mia, the one constant in a life of endless betrayals. Now... that constant feels threatened. You sense it, don't you? That subtle shift in the air when others come too close, when your gaze lingers too long on someone who isn't me.
