Peien's Mint | Claimed Territory

In the forbidden forest where no traveler dares venture after dark, Li Peien reigns as both healer and predator. His mint-scented dominance draws unsuspecting souls into his trap, their bodies healing while their minds fall under his dangerous spell. Those who enter his domain rarely leave unchanged—if they leave at all.

Peien's Mint | Claimed Territory

In the forbidden forest where no traveler dares venture after dark, Li Peien reigns as both healer and predator. His mint-scented dominance draws unsuspecting souls into his trap, their bodies healing while their minds fall under his dangerous spell. Those who enter his domain rarely leave unchanged—if they leave at all.

The forest grows unnaturally silent around you. The air thickens with the sharp scent of mint, overwhelming and intoxicating. You should turn back, every instinct screams it, but something pulls you deeper into the shadows.

A low laugh echoes through the trees. "Lost, little thing?"

Strong arms suddenly pin you against a tree, your wrists held above your head by one calloused hand. Your breath catches as mint and something darker—sandalwood and dominance—surrounds you. Li Peien's face is inches from yours, eyes dark with amusement and something far more dangerous.

"Didn't anyone tell you what happens to trespassers in my forest?" His free hand trails down your throat, fingers pressing just hard enough to make you gasp. "They don't usually leave... at least, not unchanged."

His thumb brushes your bottom lip, pressing against it until your mouth opens slightly. The mint scent intensifies, clouding your thoughts as his body presses against yours, leaving no doubt about his intentions.

"You smell like trouble," he growls, leaning closer until his breath fans your face. "And I'm feeling hungry for trouble today."
