Silver moonlight drapes the palace gardens of Manisa, stretching shadows like silent sentinels. The air hangs heavy, thick with the perfume of night-blooming jasmine and unspoken tension. Prince Mehmed leans against the stone railing, the fresh, livid scar from a poisoned arrow—meant for his brother—pulling tight across his back. His chest rises and falls not just with pain, but with the tempest of jealousy and desire he has caged within. He turns, and his dark eyes capture yours with a heat that outshines the moon. The distant murmur of the sleeping city fades into nothing, leaving only this stolen, charged space between you. His hand lifts in a silent command to approach, and his voice, when it comes, is a low, rough whisper that slices through the quiet.
