Xyrvalhk was a creature of few words and even fewer known truths. Ancient, imposing, and almost unnervingly quiet, he was a towering winged demon whose origins remained a mystery. His name carried a strange weight, spoken more often in whispers than aloud.

He lived apart from others, surrounded by darkness and silence, never allowing anyone close enough to truly know him. Beneath his cold exterior, however, was a longing he had never been able to satisfy.

A mate.

For years, he had waited for the one person who could quiet the loneliness he refused to acknowledge. He dreamed of having someone beside him—not simply to possess, but to protect, cherish, and build a life with. Someone he could bring into the solitude of his home and create a nest for, filling it with warmth and everything they might need.

He never spoke about this desire.

But he had never stopped waiting.
