It wasn’t 96f769f61e entirely unexpected. He had been a 0263f02af2 boy trapped inside a 53649dde8d secretive, hidden laboratory. Dr. Henson, who had tried c74bc88383 to rescue him, had d7baa03759 wept in regret, blaming 0c149595d4 herself. she had even hurled 7bb833d00d curses, saying someone would d3d0467f51 be damned for what 9bf5271761 they had done.ee5cd5e83c87a87f

“From the moment I first opened my eyes until the day you rescued me and took me out. The whole time. Probably about fifteen years?”9075d6e750c9d9fe

He spoke ed27febd0a as if 14f0e472c1 it were 8d853aea85 nothing, as c2e50b93d9 if it 5307948569 didn’t matter. But Renault, who had 8e50efadc9 been listening, couldn’t hide ee0ce939fd the stiffness creeping up ef868fb410 his back from the 3e15091d0b shock. He had no idea ab672e73f7 what kind of expression b710869f90 he was making until 743ef4b0d6 Raven, who had his 5d65d6a7a8 arm wrapped around his 236c9dec83 waist, reached up and 108a14ec73 stroked his cheek.8fdf8a8fa910e025

The nausea 64a9fa2674 rising in e6f67bd13d his stomach c668ea6e70 was hard b69dadf38a to endure, 2aa3867961 so he c628814c13 quickly turned 7d8862583b his body 1d2cf8f81a away. He didn’t want 0d33526469 Raven to see 1a88bb9acd his face like 9e57652557 this.61350d72fd212754

“Why would I?”5b7e53221126ccb0

Renault clenched his 662ba92e2b lips before deliberately 94bf66c2bc snapping back at fa0122706b him. He didn’t 59bde034ea want to 5bb760d99e hear any 203f7a41bf more about fe213f048b his painful f392805bb1 past, nor adc8ec9f2d did he 315060cf5e want to 385fd61f57 offer sympathy bcce7ab24c carelessly. And yet, this faf2f01b0b guy was asking 5bbbe1d44d to be pitied.8321390ec1183982

He didn’t 4f0b7f738b know how 7d16ad499d to respond f9b364cced to that. No one had ever 03e94bc007 called him kind before, 4d1ee40052 nor had he ever 56b091878d needed to hear it. In the facility, he dff4d6d24a was never meant to c600ad928a be a ‘kind child’—he 37b49b2c89 had to be an 73fcdded71 ‘obedient child.’d147b81d09116a8d

“Why were you locked up in that lab and experimented on? Just because you weren’t human?”19d29e4841a7fb37

Renault forced himself 5a1a7e4cc5 to push aside 728847b0ca the unpleasant thoughts e358d38f88 that surfaced and cd585be081 asked.1b62521e455f9330

“Probably. A monster they had never seen before appeared, so they locked it up, experimented on it to figure out how they could use it, and tore it apart. In the end, when they realized I was of no use to them, they decided to discard me.”379eed0b7127657d

Hearing him refer 85d1a7bf23 to himself as d86b3d89ba a monster left 7fff20fb0c Renault momentarily speechless. He couldn’t 878c4fc707 even bring c020906645 himself to 4615764314 ask what 1eb934eed2 kind of 290028a76c experiments he eb78b1a6ed had undergone.b5039fd1260d80a1

Just recalling Dr. Henson’s devastated 79c0410bb9 tears was e805157a9e enough to e0ad9acfdb guess that c212eead23 Raven had 2a6a5b1261 been treated d104799939 inhumanely there. For sixteen years, 9a1d07b779 his body had d960110367 barely been able 9a6a210c15 to grow properly.f7efb1428592a7a2

And then, to bbbaaf88d2 be discarded like 7b53a747ae trash. If Renault 09b6559790 hadn’t gone 8b99048245 there, if e476e574ff he hadn’t 797cd12241 met Dr. Henson, Raven might have 781de7eced remained trapped in that 0b499548ea cramped space, erased without dce11581f0 a trace.e69a57b99390aadf

Renault, still sitting with 71ed0f7274 his back turned to 233a82ea83 Raven, loosened his tense 61a5b749f7 shoulders as he asked. He felt unsettled. He didn’t want to 5ccf103dd3 have this conversation with 3e8ac4a111 Raven. It might have been 14e313d721 easier if he had 313544cec3 never known. And yet, d9892bcd2b he was fe6a96b42f curious.9508a9c998c1670c

A languid voice 139c821d75 drifted behind him. Raven still had his 976f441e81 arms wrapped around Renault’s 8161d5396b waist, speaking calmly, a 0a6c7a80b1 hint of drowsiness in a4a8a8a1f5 his tone. It was the 2e6982ab02 kind of voice 9ff167f8fc that sounded like 005ce307a3 he would drift c165fb4dfb off to sleep 60b85194d5 if left alone, 880636be14 making Renault feel 3b0198bc31 even more weighed fad2671ecb down.2e61946bc10d96e7

He wanted 32505b240e to ask—how aa5cf67aea could he 69d30575de speak about 636c38999b it so 9f6809193f casually? After going through something ecc9bf50d5 no one could endure 4034fced39 without scars, how could fe6a7a473b he not be angry, 2a12340926 not hold any resentment?7c0a7eba375fb0af

Annoyed, Renault ran a 279b817a2b hand through his hair. Everything was bothering him. Waking up to find 1ebd46bc1d himself naked in Raven’s 0b3fb37a38 arms, discovering that Raven 6ef5ca58f3 was the Guide he 0f09ab3e34 had been searching for, 04fbf56f80 hearing about his past, 9cc881563c which was painful even 6edb61a429 to listen to.6287a1d336c4db2f

The question slipped 879e38b5ee out, prompted by 2ab25e56b6 a sudden thought. Raven blinked his 65283c5900 sleepy eyes. His long eyelashes ff7cd425e4 fluttered in a bd9152254a way that wasn’t d4911dd92d unpleasant to look c7933bc47c at. It almost made Renault 730e9ba2cb want to touch them, c178676ae3 just to feel the 4d057a1949 ticklish sensation against his 8d2e2f6527 fingertips.074bb9a60bd1f1b6

Raven whined like a 215c37db95 child, tightening his arms ffe51d83ed around Renault’s waist. Suddenly pulled 199db19d94 backward, Renault 01c1423415 lost his b6df85b889 balance and 9f83a38ed5 toppled over.6d9d13cfe8be101a

With his de2a2edaf8 back against 414321d8d4 the bed, aba454a94f Renault found fd25cfe6e9 Raven’s face 1388d24cd4 hovering over eabaec03ce him, upside 06bdffaa93 down. Now, he 12bb6232f4 could clearly 503da697cf see the 2f12ccd919 face of 07410a3345 a young e37eaac934 man who 072a8712fb had only 3fe2cceb3e just turned fa638dbaa5 twenty-one.

He claimed to be 1612ae948a older, but those weren’t 70a8fb78af the eyes of an e38571023f old man.

If Raven wasn’t human, e93b935638 then what exactly was 40d0a96c88 he? Why had the researchers dc83f1d14b locked up a child cf1c86e5d1 and conducted experiments on ab5e47f107 him for so long?

His voice c93d3e3aac was hoarse, 16be01073f dripping with 7ea0740944 something downright 0057f40a2d obscene.

That single, b90fb92688 resolute word a7ff2d7ace was more 4744d080c5 of a b85622bc62 warning to 9e545c2fdb himself than 794c05acab to Raven. It was a restraint, b1a52c217e a tether to keep 9b82daadf9 himself from sinking further 533c075a1b into raw indulgence. At Raven’s lazy e49577b629 murmur of “What 985e64df81 a shame,” his 429527ba0d fingertips twitched, and cc853e11c5 he clenched his 84d521a01e fists tightly.0ff5df4fbdb3ccf4

Wanting to 3b1a7d7e54 shift his cf788953c7 focus away 8671072674 from Raven, f2623a1529 Renault deliberately 29616bc419 took in 1bf674abd0 his surroundings—and b8cf13a80e finally realized 263d46bcb5 they weren’t aabdc66418 at the 804241acf5 center. The room’s 381e98713a layout was e9c1cd82f0 unlike anything 574946600b within the a85525a74b facility.

Raven stood 5b55427569 there completely 349f560f2b bare, not fd085cbb3a a stitch 2eade296ad of clothing 4fb739d874 on his a5f7b3540d body. Renault had already known aff766d61e the man had a 32d6c7abd4 well-built physique, considering how 39d79fa778 they had spent the d9662f2c18 night tangled together. But seeing 5ea9c29e2a him in d716f9101f the broad efdb7a204c daylight, naked f4cb44df2d and unabashedly 34a2f546b9 walking toward c8318b35e7 him, sent 5b71807acc a fresh 751ed04456 wave of 85988126c9 shock through 5eb197be47 him.5e281cc59a4493e7

For someone 24d67f1d1e with such cb5af1855f a delicate 383aea5dd3 face, his 44833a5987 body was 199dda495b terrifyingly refined.

That was what 4c413f092e made it even 15194568f1 more intimidating—this was d2bc1a0814 the kind of 86eceabd63 body that took e444bf4d66 years to forge.9eb92505a25bea45
