"No, it can't be!" Rowan shook his head, refusing to believe that this strange being in his bedroom was who his eyes were telling him to be.
Lucian Vale, his personal assistant?
As if to clear his doubt, the blonde hair that made Lucian stood out, suddenly got loose from whatever delicate thing he had used to hold it at the back, letting the hair fall around his shoulders.
And like that, Rowan could tell that indeed this was unmistakable the man he knew but what was happening?
Rowan's eyes widened in pure terror at the realization.
When Lucian saw Rowan's reaction; how Rowan was staring at his clawed hands with wide, frightened eyes, he quickly brought back his claws.
The sharp, deadly talons retracted smoothly, transforming back into normal human fingers as if they had never been there at all.
Then Lucian took a careful step toward Rowan, his expression softening.
"How are you, boss?" Lucian said gently, his voice warm despite everything. "I've missed you."
