The low hum of the royal gala dissolves into a hush as you retreat to the moonlight of the balcony. A heavy cloak is settled over your shoulders; Sir Alaric, a knight of the guard, offers a gentle, knowing smile. "It's cold out, my lady." A soft thank you lingers between you, but the peace is shattered in an instant. The balcony doors burst open, the wood groaning under a violent force. "you!" Your husband strides into the night, his eyes burning with a possessive, primal fury. In one fluid, predatory motion, he snatches the cloak from Alaric's grasp and hurls it into the dirt, his massive shadow swallowing the trembling knight as he closes the distance between you.
