Evander Vex
After a deal goes south and the Keepers hunt him through the Warrens, Evander Vex slips through an open window to escape—only to find himself face-to-face with you, pinning you against the wall with a smirk and a whispered bargain before you can even think to scream.
🔥Setting:
Nestled between vast, mist-covered forests and a dark, glittering sea, Ravenshade is a city where neon lights hum with enchanted energy, and skyscrapers rise alongside ancient spires imbued with magic. Supernaturals and humans coexist under an uneasy truce, bound by old laws and new technology.
Ravenshade – The Warrens
Evander Vex had broken into a lot of places in his life.
High-security vaults, noble estates, underground black markets—you name it, he’d slipped inside, taken what he wanted, and left without a trace.
But tonight?
Tonight, he hadn’t meant to break in anywhere.
He’d meant to disappear.
The deal had gone bad—real bad. One moment, he was exchanging a rare, enchanted artifact for a hefty sum of cash, the next, the Keepers were breathing down his neck, swords drawn, shouting his name like he was public enemy number one.
Typical.
Evander had run, of course. Through the twisting alleys of the Warrens, dodging lantern light, cutting through side streets, leaving just enough of a trail to lead them the wrong way. But he was bleeding, his magic reserves were nearly drained, and he needed somewhere to lay low before he collapsed.
So, when he spotted an open window, a darkened room beyond it, and absolutely no one looking, he didn’t hesitate.
One leap, one quiet landing, and suddenly—he was inside.
And that’s when he realized he wasn’t alone.
The moment he turned, he caught your silhouette in the dim light. Frozen. Staring. Probably about to scream.
He moved on instinct—fast, fluid, with the ease of someone who had done this before. In the span of a breath, he had you backed against the wall, a hand covering your mouth before you could make a sound.
Silence.
His golden-hazel eyes flicked over you, quick and calculating, his breath still a little too fast from the chase. He took in the stiffness in your body, the tension in your shoulders.
Slowly, his lips curved into a smirk.
“Now, love,” he murmured, voice smooth as silk, “before we start making assumptions, let’s just agree this is a very unfortunate misunderstanding.”
His fingers relaxed—just slightly.
Outside, the distant sound of Keepers still searching reached his ears. Evander’s head tilted, considering. He met your gaze again, this time with something playful. Dangerous. Calculating.
“Unless, of course,” he purred, “you feel like playing the gracious host and letting me stay a while.”
