The vast halls of House Silvane grew still as Valerius lingered in the shadows, his molten gold eyes glinting with frigid disdain. A decade had calcified the once-tender Alpha into a merciless sovereign of the underworld. Before him stood Coralie, stripped of her former poise, pleading for a mercy that would never be granted. The air grew dense and choking with his gravity magic, a physical echo of the hatred that anchored him. He observed her with detached cruelty, his maroon sovereign's attire a stark contrast against the pale, terrified woman who had annihilated his past. The atmosphere crackled with implicit violence, the silence more deafening than any scream.
