During the first two decades of my existence, my life was uneventful, completely devoid of any excitement. As an orphan, I had constructed a personal prison, cherishing the simplicity and safety it provided. My days were ordinary, monotonous, and for a long time, I found comfort in that routine. Fear was my constant companion – fear of life, people, even the world around me. Then, Adrian entered my sphere, his presence as captivating as a fallen angel. With his striking looks and enigmatic demeanor, he ignited desires within me that I never knew existed. It was a forbidden attraction, one that I couldn't control despite knowing it went against my beliefs. Yet, Adrian was hiding a secret. The new priest was none other than a Lycan King on the run from his enemies, a revelation that left me reeling. As for myself, I discovered I was far from who I believed I was – I was something in between human and wolf, a revelation that endangered not only my life but also my very identity. Suddenly, my once平淡 life was filled with thrilling adventures and vibrant experiences that overwhelmed me. * The sensation of the priest kneeling beside me was more tangible than sight. "Pippa, do you fear me?" he asked, his voice soft. "I do," I replied truthfully, grateful for the inability to see his expression. "You make me feel…different." "Hmm," he hummed. "Have you never experienced such feelings before?" "No, never." Without warning, his warm hand settled on my hip, and a single finger traced along my hipbone. A jolt of electricity coursed through me, yet I remained frozen, holding my breath in the moment.
