Chapter 1:
The Stranger in the Rain
Rain poured heavily over the silent city, the neon lights reflecting in puddles like scattered stars. Mira hurried along the empty street, clutching her worn-out umbrella. She hated the rain, but tonight it seemed unavoidable.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of her. A man, tall and mysterious, with eyes that seemed to pierce through the darkness.
"Are you… lost?" he asked, his voice smooth, almost musical.
Mira frowned. "No… I know exactly where I'm going."
He smiled faintly. "Do you? Or are you just running from something?"
Before she could reply, a loud crash echoed nearby. A group of men were harassing a stray cat, and without thinking, Mira rushed forward. But the stranger was faster—moving like he belonged to the shadows, stopping the men effortlessly.
"Who… who are you?" Mira whispered, heart racing.
"I'm someone who watches the city when it forgets how to protect itself," he replied. His eyes met hers, and for a moment, the world seemed to stand still.
Mira didn't know why, but she felt a strange connection—as if meeting him tonight had changed something in her life forever.
And somewhere in the dark sky, the midnight moon glowed brighter, as if it approved.
Chapter 2:
The Stranger's Secret
Curiosity gnawed at Mira. Who was he, really? She followed him through the city's narrow alleyways.
"I need to know… why do you do this?" she finally asked.
He stopped, his eyes reflecting the moonlight. "Because some of us are not entirely human. And some nights, the city needs those who can walk in shadows."
Mira's heart skipped. Half human? Half something else? But the pull she felt toward him only grew stronger.

Days passed, and Mira felt herself drawn to him. He was dangerous, yet she wanted to know everything about him. They shared quiet moments under the moonlight, and slowly, feelings blossomed.
"I… I can't stop thinking about you," Mira admitted one night.
His expression darkened. "If you truly knew me… you might want to run."
