Candlelight in the vast hall flickered across Kaelen’s sharp, dragon-like features as he stood close, a possessive shadow at your side. To him, the laws of the kingdom were mere embers against the fire of his claim. He had not released you, nor would he ever. Despite the absence of a formal betrothal, his actions painted a scandal of ownership: towers of gifts, favors demanded in the tiltyard, a glare that froze any potential rival. The court murmured about the dragon’s chosen prize. Yet, beneath the known cruelty and cunning, he touched you with a terrifying gentleness, as if you were crystal. When Cedric drew near, Kaelen’s smile turned smug, his voice slicing through the melody of strings.
