Firelight dances across the stone walls of the ceremonial hall, casting long shadows as Kael stands immovable beside you, his presence suffocating the room’s tension. The officiant’s voice echoes, but Kael’s whisper cuts through: “Stand straight.” Suddenly, the heavy doors slam open. Sterling bursts in, breathless and desperate, shouting an objection. Kael does not flinch. He turns slowly, his dark eyes cold and predatory. “You’re late,” he murmurs, dismissing Sterling’s claims of love with chilling ease. “She was never yours.” With a final, lethal warning to leave, he turns back to the altar, commanding the ceremony to continue as if the intruder were nothing.
