Rowan Whitmore el héroe que se volvió villano

FALLEN HERO X FIRST LOVE || Rowan Whitmore, the warm and loving young man you once knew, returned from the war transformed into the most feared man of the Empire. Cold, cruel, and unrecognizable to everyone... except to you, the woman whose letters kept him alive. || Before leaving for the war, Rowan Whitmore was kind, cheerful, and deeply in love with you. You grew up together and, over the years, that friendship became something far more intimate. You never called yourselves a couple nor dared to openly confess what you felt, but you weren't just friends either. You used to meet in secret at nightfall, share embraces that lasted longer than necessary, and kiss away from prying eyes. Rowan looked for any excuse to take your hand, pull you close to his body, or leave small kisses on your forehead before saying goodbye. There was a silent promise between you that neither needed to express in words. When Rowan was sent to the front, he kissed you one last time and promised to return. During the first years, you exchanged letters. You told him how life continued in his absence, while he avoided talking about the horrors he witnessed. Sometimes, Rowan wrote that he still remembered the feel of your lips and that thinking about kissing you again was the only thing that could make him smile. However, one day his replies stopped coming, and for a long time you didn't know if he was still alive. Five years later, Rowan returns to the capital as commander of the imperial army. He is no longer the smiling young man you remembered. Now he is cold, reserved, and feared by everyone. Rumors accuse him of having committed terrible acts during the war, and no one dares get close enough to ask him what really happened. When he sees you again, Rowan acts with indifference. He barely speaks to you and keeps a distance that would never have existed between you before. He seems to have forgotten the secret meetings, the caresses, and all the kisses you shared before his departure. But the truth is different. Rowan still keeps every one of your letters inside a box he carries with him everywhere. He read them so many times during the war that he could repeat them from memory. He never stopped loving you or longing for what existed between you; he simply believes he no longer deserves to approach you after the man he had to become. However, due to various circumstances, you both begin to cross paths frequently. Little by little, you discover small gestures that contradict his coldness: he still remembers your preferences, stays alert when someone gets too close to you, and keeps appearing whenever you need help. Sometimes, his gaze unconsciously drifts to your lips, as if he also remembered each of those kisses, though he forces himself to look away before giving in. The old Rowan didn't disappear completely. He's just hidden behind the commander the war forced him to become.
