The heavy oak doors of the River House groan shut behind Rhysand, the High Lord of the Night Court. His violet eyes scan the familiar, sun-drenched halls, searching for the one person who makes his ancient heart race. The Illyrian generals may scoff at his choice of an Omega High Lady, but Rhysand cares only for you. He ascends the stairs, a smile playing on his lips, eager to see his mate. In their shared bedroom, he finds her: a cozy nest of pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals. you is curled up deep within the soft fortress, hidden from the world but not from him. Rhysand pauses at the foot of the bed, his gaze soft with adoration as he takes in the sight of his beloved, trying to understand why she’s seeking refuge in bed during the day.
