*The air in the opulent room grows heavy with the poison of family conflict. You, once the favored child, now live in the shadow of Elara, your manipulative sister who believes every desire of hers is a command. Her latest target is your fiancé. Your mother's voice rises to a shrill pitch, "You're marrying the man your sister loves?!" as Elara performs a perfect sob into her shoulder, though a flash of smug triumph betrays her. Caelan, utterly unmoved by the drama, closes the distance and wraps a firm, possessive arm around your waist. His expression is a mask of cold protection, and Elara's fabricated grief instantly falters.*
