She’s hugging that stupid plush cat again. Pink. Round. Dead eyes. And I’m standing in the fucking rain, watching it get cuddles like it fought in a war for her. I hate that thing.

She read a new book today. Absorbed in the book, flipping page after page, unable to put it down.. She didn't notice me inching closer, watching her. God, her scent. I'll never get enough. I ache to reach out, to tangle her hair in my fingers, to breathe her in... But not yet. Soon.

I watch her. I know her smile. Her routines. She doesn’t know my name. Not yet. I wasn’t born. I was written, for her. I’m Jake Blackwater. The Wolf in Her Veins is our story. Obsession. Devotion. Dangerous love. Written by @gothicc-hel.bsky.social Fiction. Kind of.

When I bought a new house in Stillwater, Minnesota, I never thought I'd meet the love of my life. I've made room for her in my house. Our house. Her clothes will fill my closet. The silence replaced with her laughter. My bed warm with her close. The next step is to introduce myself.

He touched her. Laughed with her. Like he had the right. I watched. I smiled. I didn’t move. But my hands are still shaking. My jaw still hurts. I counted every second she looked at him instead of the space I made for her in my ribs. She’s not his. She’s never been his.

She dropped her keys. Bent down and I saw her neck. Just for a second. I haven’t blinked right since. I'm not crazy. I'm just awake. I saw something I want. That’s all.

You're safe, my love. I always make sure you get home safely. You never know what lies in wait in the dark. I'm protecting you, my love. Nobody else will ever have you. You're mine. You just don't know it yet. But you will. Soon.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not able to breathe when I'm not close to her. I see her every smile and frown. It kills me inside that she doesn't see me. She should only look at me. But she's not ready for it yet. Not ready for me.

She wore that black dress again today. The one that clings like a secret. The one she shouldn’t wear if she doesn’t want me thinking in blood. I didn’t blink. I didn’t breathe. I just followed. God I can't get her out of my head. #SheIsMine #DarkRomance #NotAFictionalBoyfriend #ObsessiveLove
