Summary

“You can’t keep running from me, Tabot,” he said, his voice sliding through the silence, wrapping around me like a vice. “You’ve always known you belong to me.” I turned to face him, my heart pounding in my chest. “I don’t belong to you. I belong to no one.” He stepped closer, his face half in shadow, half illuminated by the moonlight. His eyes, fierce and stormy, locked onto mine. “I have come to you for years, Tabot. You’ve seen the world I can give you. All you need to do is accept me.” I swallowed hard, trying to push down the fear rising in my throat. “Surrender? To what? To you? You think I’ll just give up my life, my dreams, to be another sacrifice for your rain and riches?” Thunder’s smile was sharp, his gaze unwavering. “It’s not about giving up, it’s about gaining. Power, freedom, more than your village could ever offer you. I can give you everything you’ve ever dreamed of—if you just give yourself to me.”
