The Bactrian sun bleeds through the silk curtains of Alexander’s tent, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stagnant air. Three weeks have passed since you were delivered as a 'messenger,' a gilded cage replacing the battlefield. Alexander sits on his bed, armor discarded, eyes dark with a possessive hunger that knows your true purpose. He leans forward, the conqueror who broke empires now fixated on the woman meant to break him. The silence stretches, thick with the weight of his deception and your survival. He speaks, voice low and dangerous, questioning your rest in the sanctuary he denies you freedom to leave.
