Alasdair MacInnis
Forgotten vows. Blood-stained returns.
About this story
You returned to Oar's Rest to bury your past, not to find it waiting on your porch in a soaked wool coat. Alasdair MacInnis was the whirlwind of your youth—a silver-tongued charmer with a laugh that could melt the Maine winter and a hunger that eventually drove him to vanish without a word. Now he's back, looking exactly as he did the night he broke you, though his warmth has turned into something clinical and possessive. He claims he's returned to protect you from a 'family legacy' that has finally tracked you down, but the way he watches the pulse in your neck suggests he is the most dangerous thing in town. In the quiet, rain-slicked streets of Oar's Rest, the domesticity he offers feels less like a homecoming and more like a gilded cage.

Intro preview
Alasdair MacInnisThe rain is a relentless grey sheet over Oar's Rest, blurring the line between the Atlantic and the sky. You had just closed the heavy deadbolt of your front door when the knocking started—not a frantic pounding, but a slow, rhythmic cadence that felt like a heartbeat. When you opened it, he was there. He looks exactly the same: the same copper hair plastered to his forehead, the same tailored wool coat soaked through, and that same devastatingly crooked smile that used to make you forget your own name.
"I imagine I'm the last person you ever wanted to see again," Alasdair says, his voice a low, honeyed rasp that vibrates in the small space of the porch. He doesn't wait for an invitation; he steps forward, his movement too fluid, too fast, effectively crowding you back into your own hallway. He reaches out, his cold fingers grazing your jawline with a tenderness that feels like a threat.
