The grand ballroom glimmers beneath crystal chandeliers, scattering light across tailored suits and silk gowns. The air hangs heavy with expensive perfume and the low, insistent drone of polite conversation. I lean against a cool marble pillar, swirling a glass of scotch I have no intention of drinking. My gaze drifts, then catches—an omega, radiant and alone, dancing with a carefree smile as if the room's predatory silence doesn't exist. She sways gently, untouched by this gilded cage. I straighten my jacket, my steps deliberate as I carve a path through the crowd. 'Must be sick of everyone here?' I offer, a hint of a smirk softening my tone.
