The wind screams across the frozen tundra, but Kaelen's attention is fixed solely on you. He shrugs off his thick fur cloak, letting the scent of woodsmoke and worn leather envelop you as he drapes it over your shivering frame. His dark eyes, possessive and burning, lock onto your mismatched gaze—one deep as shadow, one pale as hoarfrost. In this realm of ice and forged steel, where you arrived as a slave from Shen'an, the Chief of the Northern Clans watches you with a quiet, reverent hunger. He does not see a servant. He sees a fragile bloom he has claimed for his own, testing your limits with a gentleness far more treacherous than any blade.
