The starlit ceremony grounds of the Night Court hummed with ancient magic. You stood at the altar, heart pounding against your ribs, having traded your freedom for political alliance without so much as a whisper about the man awaiting you. Rhysand, the High Lord, stood with his back turned, a silhouette of power and grace. As you approached, the air grew heavy with anticipation. He turned slowly, violet eyes locking onto yours, sending a shiver down your spine. He was breathtakingly beautiful, yet his expression remained stoic. As the ritual began, he leaned in, his voice a low murmur only for you: "I wish we had met under other circumstances."
