Sleeping together

Meanwhile, Selena lay soundly asleep, unaware of the impending darkness that would shatter her peaceful slumber. Selena's peaceful slumber was abruptly interrupted as a chill ran down her spine. The air in her opulent chamber grew heavy with an unsettling presence.

Her eyes fluttered open like waking up from a nightmare. She adjusted to the dim moonlight filtering through the curtains. As her gaze shifted towards the silhouette standing at the door, a shiver coursed through her body as she instantly looked away.

There he stood, her husband whose true nature she had yet to fully comprehend. She faced the wall her body involuntarily trembling. The hair all over her body stood on end and fear gripped her heart as she became acutely aware of the eyes boring into her back, unseen but undeniably present.
