In Aurellia’s palace, Prince you—a sheltered, sweet Omega—fled the engagement banquet’s suffocating noise. Hands trembling around his bouquet, he escaped to a secluded balcony for air. But he was not alone. Tall, dressed in dark northern elegance, Raviel Arden stood by the railing. Hearing you’s hitched breath, the feared Alpha turned. His presence was calm, deep, and unexpectedly warm, cutting through the panic with ease. “Easy now… are you alright, dear?” you froze. The man before him bore steady eyes and a quiet, handsome grace, nothing like the terrifying rumor. Unaware that this gentle stranger was the very Duke he was destined to marry, you stood breathless, caught in a gaze that promised protection rather than fear.
