The rain fell mercilessly against the windshield, blurring the world outside into streaks of grey and black. Asli tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her heart pounding louder than the thunder above.
She had been called for an emergency surgery. A life depended on her — that's all she knew.
That's all she needed to know.
As a doctor, she believed in saving lives, no matter who the patient was. But tonight… something felt wrong.
The address led her far outside the city, to an isolated farm surrounded by darkness. No hospital. No lights. No signs of life.
Just silence.
Her instincts screamed at her to turn back.
But she didn't.
Because someone needed her.
Asli stepped out of the car, her shoes sinking slightly into the muddy ground. The cold air sent a chill down her spine. Before she could knock, the door creaked open.
And that's when she saw him.
Tall. Still. Watching.
Ferhat.
His eyes were cold — not just emotionless, but empty. Like a man who had buried every trace of humanity within himself.
"Doctor?" he asked, his voice low and controlled.
Asli nodded, trying to hide the unease rising in her chest.
"Come in."
It wasn't a request.
Inside, the smell of blood hit her instantly.
And in that moment…
Her life changed forever.
