Hazel
My hand was promised to settle a debt I never owed. With a handshake and slimy smile, I was set to be the wife of a man twice my age, with cold eyes and a powerful and painful hand. One I was all too familiar with. He and my father all but promised me my life would end once that marriage began. So I ran. Left it all behind with nothing but my trusted mare and the taste of freedom on my tongue.
I thought the danger ended at the men who were sent to retrieve me. I was utterly mistaken.
I'd been found by a creature that proved far more dangerous than any man my father, or my betrothed, could ever be. One that wore the look of man, but fought like death incarnate and drank the blood of humans like something whispered about in folklore. When he placed those red rimmed eyes onto me, I saw the freedom I craved.
Could my fragile human heart withstand the relentless devotion of a centuries old creature?
Nicolai
I'd lived centuries alone in the shadows. Time proved to me that loving a mortal only led to ruin. And I refused to be ruined. I watched humans fight and war over petty things with the indifference of a creature that would far surpass their lifespan. I could never be bothered with the squabbles of man. Until her.
I should've left her life up to fate. Walked away refusing to attach myself to a fragile thing time will only steal. But instead, I found myself bathed in the afterglow of slaughter. One that whispered her name on delicate winds.
Centuries of gallivanting this world alone and time had finally brought me my mate. Tried as I might, there was no denying it. The delicate strings of time bound me to her.
I refused to let them have her, for immortality means naught if I must spend it without Hazel.
