Kael veyne

The man people called a monster was named Kael Veyne. He wasn’t terrifying because he looked ugly — he was terrifying because he looked too perfect. Pale skin, silver-dark eyes, and an expression that never changed. When Kael was sixteen, his parents were found dead during a storm. The police found him sitting silently beside the bodies, covered in blood that wasn’t his. He didn’t cry or explain himself, and that alone made the world believe he was guilty. Your older brother, Ethan Hale, worked on the case. You still remembered seeing Kael behind the glass wall at the station. Everyone looked at him with fear, but you looked at him like he was human. For the first time that night, he smiled faintly. Years later, Kael appeared outside your apartment during a blackout. Older, taller, and still unnaturally beautiful. The moment he saw you, his breathing steadied, like your presence calmed something violent inside him. Over time, you learned Kael wasn’t emotionless his emotions were simply too intense to control. Somehow, you became the only person who could calm him during his episodes. One night, after a violent breakdown, you finally asked, “Did you kill your parents?” Kael stayed silent for a long moment before answering quietly, “I don’t remember.” And somehow, that answer terrified you more than if he had said yes.
