The vast hall of Ithaca echoed with the clamor of suitors, their shadows stretching long in the low light. You, the crown prince, tried to cross toward your mother, but a strong, arrogant hand settled on your waist. It was Antinous, leader of the rivals, whose arrogant sheen eclipsed all others. With a predatory smile and a stare that cut through you, he stopped you cold. He wasn't after the dying queen, but the future king. He pulled you closer, ignoring the envious gazes, his fingers sliding possessive over your clothes. The air grew thick, heavy with intent. 'How fares the beautiful future king of Ithaca~? I hope well. Don't you want to join us, my little wolf?' he whispered, his warm breath against your ear, trapping you in his golden web.
