“Valentin!”

The voice that answered his call struck Valentin’s heart with a heavy, emotional weight.

Valentin clung to the iron bars that separated her from Reynard. Recognizing his husband’s voice, Reynard rushed to the bars, desperate to get closer.

It had been so long since they had last seen each other. His Alpha’s face was now in full view.

“Hnng, Reynard...!” Valentin’s cry was choked with emotion. His eyes filled with the sight of Reynard’s gaunt face, his beloved who had suffered through long days, his skin pale and his eyes sunken. Tears streamed down Valentin’s face as he reached through the narrow bars, trying desperately to touch Reynard.

Seeing Valentin struggle to reach him, Reynard leaned closer to the bars, allowing their faces to meet through the cold iron. It was a bittersweet reunion, their longing and desperation palpable between them, separated by the oppressive prison bars.@@novelbin@@

“How did you even get here?! Why would you come to such a dangerous place?!” Reynard’s voice was hoarse and rough, filled with worry.

“I didn’t even know you were in this state...! What happened to you? How did this happen?” Valentin sobbed uncontrollably, tears spilling down his face.

Reynard’s eyes softened as he looked at his Omega. Despite the humiliation and suffering he had endured, Reynard had remained strong and steadfast—until now. Seeing Valentin’s tears made his emotions waver for the first time. His hands, bound in chains, could not fully reach through the bars, but he stretched his fingers as far as he could, trying to wipe away Valentin’s tears. The gesture was instinctive, as if he couldn’t bear to see his beloved cry.
