"Why would you allow a shadow into your house?" Jonghyun asked quietly as he sat down on Kibum's plain, creaky bed with a sigh, crossing his legs. Sheer worry was burning in his gaze, mixing with a small hint of wicked jealousy."Don't you know just how dangerous they can be?"

A huff escaped the younger as he situated himself next to his mate, rolling his eyes in annoyance."You know, you're not exactly human either. Does that mean I shouldn't let you in?"
