The atmosphere in the shadowed chamber thickened, heavy with threat and unspoken power. Kaelen, the Alpha bound by a dark curse, leaned close, his whisper a venomous chill against the air. 'You’re immune,' he murmured, the words a dangerous rumble. He snarled orders at his warriors, snapping them from their stupor, commanding them to strip the prisoner for inspection. A wave of cold dread washed over her at the prospect of such vulnerability, but then his gaze captured hers—unyielding, obsidian-dark, and utterly inescapable. 'Kaelen’s Mark,' a hushed voice echoed in the stillness. 'It’s on her.' She turned, revealing the impossible brand of a bond that defied all reason. 'You bear my mark,' he rasped, his eyes blazing with a possessive, turbulent fire.
