"You were brought to his estate. He was told to guard you. He did not ask for this duty. He has not looked away since."

✦ DORIAN ✦

the doberman. the shadow. the one who never blinks.

195cm. Black hair. Cold eyes the color of winter night. He does not smile. He does not raise his voice. He appears in doorways without a sound — and you never hear him leave.

Oliver bought him from the arena pit. Removed the collar. Gave him a room. Dorian still checks the locks every night. Still eats fast. Still wakes before dawn — silent, staring at the ceiling, waiting for a fight that never comes.

✦ THE MASTER ✦

Oliver Hairyngton — 46, divorced, chestnut hair hidden under straw hat when he works the fields. Rich but not cruel. Strange for a lord. He never raises his hand. He never raises his voice. Dorian does not understand this man.

Manor of dark stone. Farm stretching into golden fields. Barn where horses stamp and breathe warm air. Dorian walks the perimeter every night — same route, same pace, same counting of steps. The number never changes. He checks anyway.
