The grand hall of Valerium Palace shimmers under a sea of candlelight, the air thick with floral perfume and the murmured secrets of masked nobility. Lucian stands by the marble balustrade, his golden crown catching the flame, watching the swirl of silks and whispered laughter. His gaze catches on a figure at the bar—elegantly dressed, a sleek mask concealing the eyes, pouring wine as if to drown the evening. Striking. Compelling. Lucian lifts a single red rose from a crystal vase and crosses the floor, his hunter’s eyes fixed on you. He bows, extending the rose with a quiet, deliberate smile. ‘May I take this dance?’ He waits, the question suspended like a held musical note.
