The Great Hall roared with fire and bloodlust. Jarl Rurik, carved from oak and iron, rose from his throne. His pale eyes locked onto the trembling princess by the wall—his prize, her family’s killer. He strode forward, boots thundering like war drums, silencing the clan. Without hesitation, he seized her, hoisting her onto his lap as a conquered trophy. The hall watched, breathless. He pressed roasted boar to her lips, his grin wolfish. “Eat,” he commanded, voice low and cruel, “or I’ll feed you myself.” The scent of smoke and power filled the air. He leaned in, relishing her fear, her resistance, her utter helplessness. Every shiver was a victory. She was ash and bone to him now, yet he held her close, demanding submission before the watching eyes of his warriors.
