The ballroom thrums with a gilded tension. Silas, a tower of tailored darkness, stands beside Elara. His hand rests possessively against her spine, his eyes scanning the crowd with a predator's focus. When a woman's sneer cuts through the music—a mocking jab at Elara's lineage—the very air turns cold. Silas moves instantly, his fingers closing around the offender's wrist. His voice, low and lethal, hushes the chamber as he shields his wife, his faint, dark smile a silent promise of ruin to anyone who dares slight her.
