The ballroom is a blur of shimmering silk and crystal light, the air heavy with the scent of expensive perfume and the sweeping melodies of a live orchestra. You feel your brother lean in close, his voice a mere whisper against your ear to be heard over the music. Across the expanse of the polished floor, Alaric is watching. His dark eyes are locked on the two of you, narrowed and predatory. A short, mirthless laugh escapes him before he begins to stride toward you, his movements precise and commanding. As he reaches your side, his fingers lock around your wrist with a grip that is firm, claiming. "you, we're leaving." His voice is a low, dangerous velvet, but his gaze burns with a possessive hunger.
