Prologue

Oct 25, 2024

The dim light of the room cast eerie shadows that swirled and danced across the walls, their edges curling and twisting like the fingers of a looming storm. In the midst of this unsettling tableau, she struggled against the ironclad grip that held her fast.

Her breaths came in sharp, shallow gasps, each one a desperate attempt to break free. Her eyes, deep blue jeweled orbs wide with both fear and determination, darted frantically around the room, seeking an escape that seemed as distant as a forgotten dream.

He was unyielding, a monolith of solid presence, his form as imposing as iron. His eyes, dark and red, glowed with a haunting intensity, and his black hair fell in stark contrast to the pale skin of his face.

The unsettling blend of obsession and longing in his gaze pierced through the dim light, making it impossible for her to look away.

As she met his gaze, her own blue hair shimmering like a ghostly halo in the half-light, he leaned in closer, his breath warm and unsettling as it whispered against her ear.

A shiver raced down her spine, her body tensing at the proximity of his breath, a tingling contrast to the terror constricting her chest.

Despite her fear, there was an undeniable attraction that fluttered in her stomach, a nervous, almost exhilarating dance of butterflies.

His sharp features, his intense gaze, and the dark allure of his presence stirred something deep within her. It was the kind of attraction that she couldn’t completely ignore, even amidst her growing dread. Yet, this fear, this gnawing anxiety over his obsessive nature, overshadowed the fluttering excitement she felt in his presence.

“I see you’re trying to escape,” he murmured, his voice a sinister whisper that seemed to coil around her like a cold, constricting chain. “But you need to understand, I’m the only one who can make you whole. I won’t ever let you go.”

His words were not a comfort but a tightening noose around her freedom. She could feel the weight of his stare, the iron grip of his hands, and the crushing force of his declaration.

Her heart pounded in her chest, a frantic drumbeat of fear and defiance. The very things that made him so captivating also made him terrifying. The intense focus in his dark, red eyes, the way they glowed ominously against the backdrop of his black hair, cut right through her composure, rendering her vulnerable and conflicted.

“Look at what you’ve done to me,” he continued, his voice shifting to a tone of reverence, as if her mere presence had transmuted him into something otherworldly. “You’re the only one who’s ever made me feel truly alive. You belong to me.”

The air around them seemed to thicken with the weight of his declarations, each word a spell that drew her deeper into his dark, twisted world.

His eyes blazed with a fervent intensity, a madness tempered by a perverse devotion. Even as she felt the crushing weight of his obsession, she couldn’t deny the pull of his gaze, the way his dark, red eyes seemed to see through her and stir emotions she would rather not confront.

“Say my name. Don’t be scared.” he whispered, his voice a dark promise, an unholy vow that hung heavy in the air.

The walls of the room throbbed with the intensity of his emotions, and what had once been a sanctuary now felt like an elaborate prison.

His grip tightened further, his expression hardening as if bracing for a final, irreversible act. The butterflies in her stomach fluttered wildly, their frantic pace mirroring the chaos inside her.

“It’s time,” he said, his voice dropping to a final, resolute whisper. “I’ll make sure everyone knows that you’re mine.”

In that moment, the weight of his words settled like an impenetrable fog. There was no escape, no glimmer of freedom—only the crushing certainty that his will had become her prison.

The world outside might carry on, indifferent and oblivious, but within these walls, a dark and irrevocable claim was being laid—a claim that would reshape their destinies forever.

Born with a gift so potent it could incinerate the world, the crown prince struggled to control the fiery power coursing through him. His young body, too fragile to withstand the force, often failed him, causing his mana to erupt in violent bursts, harming everything around him.

Emotionless and hollow, he moved through life like a ghost, a living corpse. For he knew that the moment he felt even the smallest flicker of emotion -joy, anger, or sorrow-his power will spiraled out of control, exploding in deadly flames.

He had learned this harsh truth as a child, the day his mother and unborn sister died. Overwhelmed by happiness at the sight of his family together, he lost control. His mother died in the resulting blaze, and from that moment on, he believed love was beyond him, that he was unworthy of any feeling. He vowed never to love and never to feel anything. Love, he believed, was a curse, a death sentence for those he held dear.

But his bleak, colorless world began to shift when a mysterious hand reached out and touched his fiery heart, soothing the raging flames. No one else had ever possessed the power to calm the inferno within him-but her. The fire allowed her near, drawing her in, and with her presence, he felt a dangerous new longing. A desire to claim the power that soothed his soul, to make her his own.
