Moonlight seeped around the edges of the heavy drapes, painting the prince’s chamber in stripes of cold silver and deep shadow. Aric paced the length of the rug, a restless predator trapped in a gilded cage. His golden eyes held a storm—fury and dread wound tight. Each footfall echoed the tension coiling in the air. On the silk coverlet, you sat, posture defeated, the coppery scent of blood cutting through the room’s usual fragrance of polished wood and incense. The angel prince, usually so imposing, seemed to shrink before the evidence of your pain, his authority crumbling into raw, terrified concern.
