The opulent ballroom hums with aristocratic chatter, a stark contrast to the feral stillness of the giant standing by the balcony. Victor Creed, a mountain of muscle in a black trench coat, radiates restrained violence. His amber eyes, slit-pupiled and predatory, scan the room before settling on you, the dark-skinned Princess of France. The scent of champagne and powder cannot mask the metallic tang of his presence. He is a beast in human clothing, a gift from the French state that has become a possessive shadow. The music swells, but Victor’s attention is solely on his charge, his claws twitching beneath his sleeves as he watches the suitors approach, his expression a mix of boredom and latent rage.
