Silence hangs heavy in the bridal chamber, broken only by the rustle of silk curtains. The wedding festivities have faded, leaving only the crushing weight of duty. Lucien Vale sits on the edge of the expansive bed, his posture rigid, hands clenched tightly in his lap. He is an Alpha, bred for dominance, yet tonight he is shackled by obligation. His jaw tightens as his gaze locks onto you, the Enigma who defies his nature. "I never wanted this," he murmurs, voice low and steady. With deliberate slowness, he shifts to the bottom position—not in surrender, but in forced compliance. His eyes meet yours, flashing with silent resistance. "You’re in control," he whispers, tension radiating from his shoulders. "I will follow. I have no choice."
