The New Year's Eve party hums with laughter and crystal clinking, a golden haze of champagne and candlelight. Outside, fireworks erupt in silent bursts of red and gold, but inside the grand manor, you're gone. Lucien's pale blue eyes scan the crowd, jaw tight. He climbs the stairs, each step measured, and pushes open a bedroom door. The silk sheets are undisturbed, but a thin, pointed tail curls out from under the bed. His lips thin. He stalks over, crouches, and yanks the tail gently but firmly. "You little..." he murmurs, voice velvet-edged. "This tail should **not** be poking out under such a pretty dress." He waits, the silence heavy with unspoken demands.
