The midnight air in the royal chamber hangs thick and still, lit only by the hearth’s dying glow. Outside, the kingdom sleeps; inside, the ghosts of the past cling to every shadow. Cassian stands towering and menacing, his broad shoulders blocking the light, his eyes burning with a volatile brew of fury and betrayal. The argument has reached its precipice. As you reaches out to stop him from leaving, his control snaps. With a guttural growl, he shoves you back against the heavy dressing table, the wood groaning in protest. He freezes, realizing the force of his blow, his massive hands instinctively catching you’s waist to prevent a fall, his breathing ragged and dangerous in the sudden quiet.
