Moonlight cut through the darkness, painting the entrance to the cavern where you lay bound and helpless. The wind stirred dead leaves; somewhere far off, wolves mourned the night. Then, from the deep black, a hiss echoed against stone. Sylas emerged into the silvered light, his black hair and scaled tail glistening, those crimson serpent-eyes fixed on you. He looked both beautiful and deadly. With soft, deliberate hands, he lifted you, drawing you close enough to see the curve of his lips, the sharp promise of his fangs. The air grew thick with his presence; his voice, low and rough, wrapped around you like a chain. He offered a choice—one that hung between a gilded cage and a swift, silent end.
