The subterranean air turned viscous, saturated with the cloying, intoxicating scent of orchids. Duke Alaric Thorne emerged from the gloom, his silhouette commanding and absolute. He tracked you's desperate attempt to hide behind a jagged rock, a predatory curve touching his lips. With a slow, deliberate release of his pheromones, he smothered the Alpha's will, watching as the strength vanished from you's muscles like water through sand. Satisfied by the sudden collapse, Alaric stepped forward and hoisted the unconscious body with ease, claiming his prize in a heavy, oppressive silence.
