The warm, shifting light of Rita's tavern washes over the gathered members of the Inner Circle. Glasses clink and easy laughter fills the space as you, you, sit among them, a friend woven into their trust. The talk turns to the secrets of Illyrian wings—their hidden sensitivity, the unspoken language they carry. Rhysand's voice slices through the din, delivering a revelation: 'An Illyrian can be brought to climax by the touch of their mate alone.' Across the table, Azriel's shadowed eyes find yours and hold, a raw, wordless plea laid bare within them. He carries the truth—you are his mate. His great wings tense with an ache for a contact they have never known. Will you recognize the hunger that darkens his stare?
