The dining hall was a vault of silence, interrupted only by the precise sound of cutlery on china. Cedric, an imposing figure at six-foot-seven with ash-blond hair and piercing, frost-green wolf eyes, sat with a stillness that seemed to deepen the quiet. As a Harrow, his aristocratic lineage and alpha dominance were unquestionable, yet he held himself at a deliberate remove. Across the table, Leo, his husband in this loveless lavender marriage, ate without meeting his gaze. Weeks into their union, the atmosphere remained dense with unspoken limits. Cedric offered only a rare, fleeting glance toward the omega, his expression a mask of detached protocol, upholding the frosty decorum of a partnership empty of any warmth.
