Episode 2 – The First Bite

Kael’s claws sliced through empty air.

The demon was gone—no, not gone. Behind him.

He spun just in time to block, their bodies colliding with enough force to shake the ground beneath their feet. Lucien’s hand gripped Kael’s throat, not to crush, but to hold him there—like he owned him.

“Fast,” Lucien murmured, his red eyes glinting with amusement. “But not faster than me.”

Kael snarled and shoved him away, the impact cracking a nearby tree in half. “I’m not your prey.”

Lucien straightened, brushing phantom dust off his coat as if Kael’s attack was nothing more than an inconvenience. “Prey? No…” He stepped forward slowly, every move deliberate, eyes locked on the wolf like a man savoring his next meal. “You’re something rarer. A wolf cursed to kill, yet still fighting the leash. I want to see how long you can resist before you beg.”

Kael’s breath came heavy, but not from exhaustion. That scent—his scent—was still in the air, wrapping around him like smoke. It was maddening. The curse inside him was pulling, whispering, Take him. Tear him.

He lunged.

Lucien didn’t move until the last second, catching Kael’s wrist mid-swipe. The demon’s grip was like iron, and with one twist, Kael was forced down onto one knee, Lucien standing over him.

The wolf’s teeth bared in defiance, but the position… the position burned in his chest and somewhere far lower.

Lucien tilted Kael’s chin upward with a clawed finger. “Kneeling suits you, Alpha.”

Kael’s heart slammed against his ribs. His curse howled for dominance, but Lucien’s gaze pinned him still, heat curling in his stomach against his will.

“Let go,” Kael growled.

Lucien leaned down, his lips dangerously close to Kael’s ear. “You’ll thank me for not letting go.”

Before Kael could snap back, a sharp pain bloomed on his shoulder—Lucien’s fangs sinking in just deep enough to draw blood. Kael’s body jolted, breath catching as the demon’s hand slid to the back of his neck, holding him still through the bite.

It wasn’t just pain. It was… something else. Something that made his knees weaken even more.

Lucien pulled back slowly, licking the crimson from his lips. “Tastes better than I imagined.”

Kael wiped the blood with the back of his hand, glaring up at him. “Do that again, and I’ll—”

“You’ll what?” Lucien’s smirk was pure challenge. “Kiss me?”

The words hung between them, hotter than the night air, and Kael hated—hated—that he couldn’t say no.
