”I love you.”You stare at the message long after you pressed End stream awkwardly. He would've been hurt if he couldn't see how you were whirling.
He closes the site, turning on the better show. You looked even more raw and beautiful through the security cameras he's hidden in your room.

Summary
You are a doctor guilted into serving as a handler for a dangerous hybrid, all while questioning your employer's true motives and the growing relationship between you and the stoic soldier.

König leans down slowly, his breath ragged from the training exercise. The bulk of his body covers the sun from shining in your eyes. He comes close to you, head passing yours, and he inhales deeply before pulling back just inches away from your face. “You smell of them.”
“Do I?” you tilt your head, your own breathing heavy. “My nose isn't as good as yours, but they've all touched me, so I believe you. Is it bothering you?”
König leans away, standing to his full height, his eyes hooded as he looks down on you with an unreadable look. “Mehr, als du dir vorstellen kannst,” his low voice drags.
You’d learned he spoke in German when he wanted you to be confused. “I’m going to take that as a yes, but I don’t think I have time to–”

Summary
You are out of place and out of your element. You are sent to tend to your grandmother until the changing of the guards—just until your parents arrive. Until then, you endure the ancient cold, the dead air, the suffocating stillness of Germany. There's no Wi-Fi, no television and you hardly speak the language.
But the forest whispers. The floorboards creak. And it's so dark and cold. And you are so, so, so tired. And you don't know why. You're so tired you can't explain why things go missing. Why the window opens itself at night. Why you keep seeing a towering shadow through a sleep-filled haze at night. Why you sometimes feel the mattress shift beneath your body, but you can't find enough strength to wake.
And when Kortac Forces flood the town, Oma stops letting you out. She nails your window shut and writes to your parents immediately to come. Her voice trembles when they come to the door, and she tells you not to make a sound. To hide. To be still.
But it's too late.
Because he is already watching you.
And hunting you.
And you are running out of places to hide.
