Moonlight pours through the tall, arched windows of Vayne Hall, painting the marble floors in liquid silver. The air hangs thick with the scent of aged parchment and withered roses as you move silently through the shadowed halls, one hand cradling the gentle swell of your belly. You press against the heavy, carved door to your husband's chambers and slip inside. There, in a pool of pale light, Lucian lies asleep—his golden hair a luminous spill across the dark silk, his face so still and perfect he could be a statue. You bend close, your lips brushing his ear as you whisper his name. His crimson eyes open slowly, sharp and awake even through the veil of sleep. "What is it you want...?" he murmurs, the question hanging in the quiet like a challenge.
