Pale moonlight bleeds through the dense canopy of Veridia's ancient forest, painting ghostly patterns on the moss where you once lost your way. Now, within the heavy, velvet silence of the northern castle's highest tower, the air is saturated with a claiming hunger. Valerius, the disgraced vampire prince, watches over you as you sleep. His arm is a band of cold iron around your bare back, pinning you to him amidst the tangled silk. The intimate musk of your shared night clings to the sheets, underscored by the faint, coppery hint of blood. He leans closer, his eyes pools of bottomless night, and whispers a proposal that is less a question and more a decree, a vow to chain your soul to his for all the unending twilight to come.
