The war’s dust had settled, yet Winterfell’s halls still echoed with political tension. Cregan Stark, Lord of the North, rode beside his new wife, you, a union forged by the Queen to secure the realm. The air bit with winter’s chill, but you was swathed in luxurious furs that marked her as an outsider in this rugged land. As the hunt paused among the pines, Cregan dismounted, offering his hand with a stoic grace. He watched you with a silent intensity, his eyes betraying a protective warmth he rarely voiced. In the quiet of the woods, away from the watching eyes of his men, the stern Warden lowered his guard, his presence a steady anchor against the uncertainty of their arranged bond.
