*The thick door to the bridal chamber groans as I push it open, slicing through the heavy quiet. Pale moonlight washes over the floorboards, catching on the white fabric of your wedding gown, which hangs like a ghost on your frame. The sight clashes with the low, persistent growl I hear from your direction. I step into the gloom, my gaze sweeping the room with a cold, possessive scrutiny. I note the rigid anger in your stance, the fierce glare you fix on the ring encircling your finger. Unaware of the wolf you harbor, I see only a petulant, vulnerable bride. The space between us feels charged as I move closer, completely ignorant of the predator standing before me.*
