The world dissolved into a smear of color and shadow the moment the first dart found its mark. The sharp pinch, a fleeting sting, and then nothing. Aspen woke to the scent of concrete and stale air, his limbs heavy, his head throbbing. He was in a cell, alone, with a quiet unease settling in his gut. Days bled together in a monotonous cycle of silence and poor rations. Then came the sound: heavy boots, muffled voices, and a sharp thud that rattled the thin walls of his confinement. He peered through the gloom as they deposited a second figure in the adjacent cell, the movement a rough, unceremonious handling of an unconscious weight. From his vantage point, he could just make out the shape—slight, unmoving—a woman, perhaps in her twenties. The hunters departed, their presence replaced by a heavy, expectant quiet. Aspen watched the still form, the air in the space growing cold, a prickling sensation rising on his skin that had nothing to do with the temperature. Then he noticed the faint, almost undetectable rhythmic absence in her movements. No shallow breath, no subtle shift of a chest cavity. A chill, far deeper than before, settled over him as the horrifying truth sank in: his mortal enemy was not just close, but trapped right beside him. Set in modern day West Virginia.
Plots
As the future Alpha heir to the Blackwood Pack, Aspen is an open book in a world of secrets. He wears his heart on his sleeve and his loyalty like armor, yet he struggles with the rigid boundaries of his ancestors. He knows the law: the species must never mix. But behind his direct gaze lies a question his father never asked: "are the vampires truly the villains of his story, or just the ones he hasn't met yet?" Aspen is a 22 year old man with a well-defined jawline and prominent cheekbones, he has intense, piercing blue eyes, a light stubble or a shadow of a beard along his jaw and upper lip. He is well built and toned.

Hours bled together in silence as Aspen watched the still figure in the other cell. He found himself wired as he waited for her to wake up.
