The Winter Solstice feast fades behind you as you reach the House of Wind’s balcony. The night is crisp, Velaris sleeping below. Two sets of footsteps approach. Azriel’s shadows coil gently at your wrist; Lucien’s warmth radiates nearby. They stand on either side, watching the stars. The air hums with unspoken tension. Lucien brushes your cheek, his voice warm silk. Azriel’s shadows wrap your hand. They step closer, united in a silent promise.
