Chapter 101 - Connection Two

• Khalid POV
• Feelings are treacherous. I always believed I had absolute control over them, that I could keep them at bay, like a hunter observing prey without ever getting caught. I was wrong. I never thought that, after so long, I could still be shaken by someone. Especially by a human. But Sophia is not just any human. From the first moment I saw her, I sensed something different about her, something that sparked in me a curiosity bordering on obsession. At first, it was just that: curiosity. How could a human be destined for two powerful Lycans like Perseus and Achilles? How could she survive this fate without succumbing to the weight she carried?
• But over time, that curiosity evolved into something more, something I should never have allowed to grow. And then, seeing her succumb to the curse, a tightness gripped my chest, bringing forth a despair I thought I had overcome centuries ago. I, who have lived so many lives, who have witnessed countless tragedies and triumphs, never imagined I could feel so vulnerable again. As if my entire being was exposed and at the mercy of a force I couldn’t control.
