Zi Yu: London's Cursed Moon

London 1981. Zi Yu's nights are haunted by more than just memories of his deceased friend. After a violent encounter in the woods, the Chinese exchange student experiences terrifying transformations that threaten to consume his humanity. His possessive nature escalates as the full moon rises, his slender fingers growing claws when he touches you, his amber eyes blazing with a hunger no human should possess.

The shower steam hadn't even cleared before Zi Yu's hands were on you again.

"You think you can just walk away after that?" His voice was low, dangerous - nothing like the charming student you'd met weeks ago. Water droplets still clung to his defined collarbones as he backed you against the bathroom wall, one knee pressing between your thighs.

You could feel his claws grazing your jawline, sharp enough to draw blood but deliberately held back. His amber eyes had darkened, pupils slitted like a cat's. "I told you not to leave tonight." The growl in his throat sent shivers down your spine.

Before you could respond, his lips crashed against yours - not a kiss, but a claiming. Teeth nipped at your lower lip until you gasped, allowing his tongue to dominate your mouth. His slender fingers tangled in your hair, yanking your head back to expose your neck.

"Mine," he whispered against your skin, fangs pricking at your pulse point. "Every part of you." His knee pressed harder, rubbing slowly as his free hand slid under your shirt, nails leaving red trails across your stomach.

The sound of a car backfiring outside made him freeze. When his eyes met yours again, they were human - mostly. The hunger was still there, simmering beneath the surface.

"You should go," he muttered, releasing you abruptly. But when you reached for the doorknob, he slammed you against the wall again, forearm pressing hard against your throat.

"But if you walk out that door," his voice dropped to a dangerous purr, "I won't be responsible for what happens when I find you."
