The air in the townhouse hummed with the layered voices of the court, yet Azriel held his ground in a shadowed corner, a vigilant observer anchored in silence. His gaze tracked the mated pairs—Rhysand and Feyre, Cassian and Nesta, Lucien and Elain—as they volleyed opinions about the evening’s plans. Their debate was a lively current around his stillness; his dark eyes missed nothing, absorbing each gesture and shift in tone with detached, patient focus, undisturbed by the drama playing out in the warm light.
