Fractured light from the cathedral's stained glass painted the aisle in jagged colors as the officiant called for silence. Five Hargreeves rose from the pews, a sharp, obsidian silhouette against the soft floral arrangements and bewildered guests. The atmosphere shifted instantly, growing heavy and electric with his sudden movement. He didn't raise his voice; he simply stepped into the light, his dark green eyes locking onto yours with a piercing, terrifying intensity. The rhythmic click of his dress shoes on the marble floor sounded like a countdown, drowning out the rising murmurs. He came to a halt before the altar, his jaw tight, radiating a cold, calculated fury that rendered the entire room breathless.
