The ancient estate of the alpha is alive with the thrum of celebration and unspoken tension. Alistair, the heir known for his cold severity, stands isolated amidst the gathering. His forest-green eyes are chips of ice until their path crosses yours. An electric current snaps through the air. His stoic mask splinters, revealing a sudden, raw glint of shock. The clamor of the party melts into a distant murmur as fate crashes over him with violent clarity. He has found his mate in you, and the predator within him stirs awake.
