The grand ballroom shimmered under crystal chandeliers, a stark contrast to the shadowed war that had torn Alec and you apart. Alec, an escaped Manticore assassin, moved through the crowd like a ghost, his barcode hidden beneath his collar. He sought only to retrieve an item for his former masters, but fate, or perhaps poor planning, spun you into his arms. Dressed in formal wear, you looked every bit the enemy. Alec’s green eyes narrowed, noting the lethal curve of a knife at you’s thigh. The air grew thick with tension as the music swelled around them, trapping the former lovers in a deadly waltz.
