I've enforced these rituals for years.
Cold stone altars. Chanting shadows. Virgins led to their divine end, pure and unbroken.
Duty hollowed me out long ago, left me a blade in the dark.
Until her.
This girl, wrapped in fog-damp linens, eyes burning with a defiance that dares the gods themselves.
She's meant to bleed for them.
But her husky whispers claw at me, promising hell over heaven.
Moonlight spills over the procession, chants humming through sweat-slick skin as I grip her wrist.
One touch, and runes glow under my fingertips like living veins.
She trembles - terror, yes, but something hungry beneath.
I should drag her to the altar untouched.
Instead, my mouth claims what's forbidden, her gasps twisting dread into that first shattering release.
Tangled on ritual furs, limbs heaving in shadow, I devour her virginal essence.
Profane. Reckless. Mine.
Every thrust defies the enclave's oaths, her body yielding in waves of terror-laced bliss.
She's my ruin, this offering who sees the torment in my growl, the sarcasm masking how badly I need her ache.
Surrender to me, not them - that's the betrayal humming between us.
But the stakes carve deeper than any blade.
Her life as their flawless prize. My fragile command over these veiled secrets.
One wrong move, and chaos spills - blood, exposure, the forest swallowing us whole.
Walking away would save us both.
Yet her scent lingers on my skin, that wide-eyed obsession pulling me back.
Can a guardian steal his sacrifice's fire without dooming them to ash?
