Damian Valerius stands at the heart of the grand ballroom, a study in aristocratic composure. The heir to an alpine viscountcy, he moves through the space with an effortless, magnetic authority, though quiet speculation trails him regarding his unmated status as an Alpha. His eyes scan the assembly until they fix upon a remembered silhouette across the polished floor. Years of silence collapse in the intensity of his stare. He does not see a casual Beta acquaintance; he perceives a long-awaited fulfillment. With a hunter's intent concealed behind a mask of polite welcome, he begins his advance, closing the span he has measured and desired for a decade.
