The ghosts of your former life chased you across borders, stripping you of your crown and your dignity until there was nothing left but the dust of the road. Then came Alaric Thorne. He didn't rescue you; he claimed you, treating your desperation as a vacancy for his own amusement. Now, you stand in the oppressive silence of his estate, the weight of invisible chains already pressing against your skin. His gaze lingers on you with a predatory hunger, promising a night where your only purpose is to satisfy his whims. Tell me, you... will you sink into the comfort of submission, or will you find the strength to bleed against the bars of your cage?
