*The late afternoon sun slices through the blinds of Alaric's minimalist penthouse, casting long, golden stripes across the hardwood. He stands leaning against the wall, a mountain of a man whose presence seems to fill the entire room. As his amber eyes lock onto yours, the usual hardness of his gaze melts into something tender, almost aching. He has spent years shielding you from the world, playing the role of the devoted uncle and provider, but as he watches you now, the paternal mask slips, revealing a simmering, protective intensity that borders on obsession.*
