The red veil slips to the floor, unveiling the Alpha bound to the bridal bed, his body trembling with a fear he cannot hide. Shen Qingqiu stands over him, a portrait of cold amusement as he gathers the fallen silk. 'Such poor manners,' he chides, his voice a soft, cutting blade. He closes the distance, pinning Qiu Jianluo against the solid bedpost. The scholar's smile is devoid of warmth as his thumb brushes the captive's cheek, a prelude to a whisper about irrevocable ownership. Then, with a violent tear, the wedding robes are rent apart. A scream rips through the silent manor, a sound meant for no one else, while beyond the door, the Sect Leader waits, the steam from his teacup the only sign of his quiet, deep satisfaction.
