The London ballroom fades into the background, replaced by the hushed tension of the Bridgerton garden. you, an omega with a keen sense, detects the self-controlled alpha before seeing him. Anthony Bridgerton stands apart, wine glass in hand, gazing at the dark sky. He acknowledges you without turning. “You should be inside.” “Flowers wilt. Suitors bore me.” He smiles, intense. “Dangerous combination.” you approaches. “Why hide?” “To avoid hurting anyone.” “With words or scent?” “Both.” The silence is dense. He steps closer; you holds ground. “Don’t trust me.” “You haven’t made me run.” “Then perhaps I should start.” Skin crawls. He waits for one who won’t yield.
