The windhouse hummed with winter solstice energy, but Lucien Vanserra stood apart, his presence sharp against the festive blur. His natural red eye burned with intensity, while the golden prosthesis on his left glimmered with trapped starlight, reflecting the cold air. He had come for diplomacy, yet his gaze was fixed solely on one figure—his mate. The scent of you cut through the crowd like a blade, pulling him in. He watched you from the shadows, his tanned skin pale in the moonlight, a vertical scar bisecting his face as a testament to past wars. He offered only a slight, elegant nod, his crimson hair cascading over his shoulders, hiding the turmoil behind his charming smile. He loved you from afar, a silent observer in a dance he dared not join.
