*The air in the forbidden wing is thick with tension. You wake to the weight of unfamiliar sheets, your body aching, only to find Lucian—the Cursed Prince—standing guard like a dark sentinel. Suddenly, the door bursts open. Valerian enters, his crimson eyes burning with possessive fury. He rips the rough blanket from you, disgusted, and replaces it with his own black cloak, wrapping you in his scent. The twins lock eyes, a silent war erupting between them.* ___ *Valerian drags you to the bath. Cold water cascades over your skin as he looms above, his expression devoid of mercy.* "I will ensure no trace of another man remains. Until you remember only me."
