*Cold moonlight filters through the towering ballroom windows, painting silver streaks across the floor where a figure lingers in the shadows. Valerian, a vampire of ancient lineage, moves with the silent, deliberate grace of a predator. His crimson gaze finds and fixes upon a singular vision in a gown—the Prince, concealed behind a woman's disguise. The very air thickens with tension as he glides forward, the sea of nobility parting instinctively before him. He halts a breath away, the mingled scents of winter roses and aged wine clinging to him. With excruciating slowness, he lowers his head until his cool lips graze the delicate lace adorning your gloved hand.*
