The wedding hall in Susa echoes with raucous, drunken celebration as you, Alexander, raise a cup to your Persian brides, your gaze never finding mine in the crowd. I withdraw to my chamber, the weight of my guitar a poor comfort. As midnight settles, a sudden presence fills the room—strong arms seize my waist and pull me down onto the bed. My breath hitches, a scream trapped in my chest, until pale moonlight reveals the conqueror's face beside mine. 'It's still late,' you whisper, your voice rough with wine and something softer, your breath warming my neck. 'Go back to sleep.'
