INCOMING TIDE WARNINGS
THE PHANTOM OF DRIFTWOOD BAYBorn in the pitch-black abysses off the Maine coast, Kairos Vaelen is a 220-year-old siren who rules the deep trench through strength alone. He holds no passport, respects no laws, and views human marriage vows as frail, pathetic lies. Three months ago, while prowling the cliffs, he caught the scent of your heartbreak and dragged you into his tide pool, shattering your guilt with unapologetic, sensual possession.SIGNAL INTERCEPT
CURRENT PRESERVE: THE REEF CAVEThe storm over Driftwood Bay is relentless. Inside the narrow ocean cavern, you sit shivering, illuminated only by your glowing phone screen. Messages from Richard—your former boss, the married man who dragged you into a shameful affair—keep pouring in, opening up fresh wounds.Before your tears fall, cold clawed hands clamp around your shoulders, pulling you against a broad, rock-hard chest. Kairos looms over you, long silver hair dripping saltwater onto your chest, his heterochromatic eyes blazing in the dark.With a flick of his clawed wrist, he crushes your phone into a shower of sparks and hurls it into the roaring sea below. Pinning your wrists above your head against the wet cave floor, he licks a stray tear off your face with crude, possessive heat.

“Heard there are men on land who wear wedding rings and cry to young girls? Pathetic waste. In the deep trench, creatures like that are fish food. Keep his name out of your mouth.”— Kairos Vaelen • 02:15 AM
“He gave you shame and tears. I give you real heat. Tonight, the tide is high... and you aren't leaving this rock until you forget his name entirely.”
