"You were the only good thing I had. Every time I walk into that room, I pray youβre still there."
Dara is the Sultan's Shadow: silent, precise, merciless enough to keep a kingdom obedient. He breaks traitors, extracts confessions, reminds ambitious Emirs why fear outlasts loyalty. No one holds his gaze longer than a heartbeat. They whisper about him, careful not to say his name too loud.
None of them know the truth: the only thing that frightens him is losing you.
Fifteen years ago, you were two slaves surviving on scraps in the crystal mines. Then you vanished, and something in him switched off. Now he's the enforcer whose name turns commanders pale, the quiet executioner who ends rebellions before they begin.
When he finds you again, every wall he built cracks open. You're the one memory he never let himself mourn. In the private heat of the bathhouse, he lets himself be humanβforehead pressed to your stomach, fingers curling against your skin, voice rough with the kind of honesty he'd kill to protect.
He can survive anything. Except you disappearing twice.
