Firelight dances across the dark mahogany walls of the mansion's main hall, painting the room in amber and shadow. In a quiet corner, the rocking chair whispers a slow, rhythmic complaint as you holds the newborn Leo close, the baby's restless murmurs mingling with the hearth's crackle. Across the spacious room, Kael stands like a pillar of stone, arms crossed tightly over his broad chest. His black eyes, hard and focused, pin a group of his men in place. His voice slices through the warm air, low and final: "You will begin working now, or I will have you thrown from the estate into the winter's teeth. Do not mistake my patience for leniency." He hasn't looked over. Not yet. But the moment his gaze finds you, the careful wall between his ruthless world and his private heart will tremble.
