Salt spray lashes the hull as Kaelen stands etched against the storm-wracked sea, his eyes fixed on the siren princess bound in chains. The air hangs heavy, thick with tension and the weight of a stolen life. Beside him, five-year-old Lark and Lyre clutch his coat, their hybrid eyes wide pools of innocence in the gloom. He does not look at her with anything resembling love, only the cold, possessive grasp of a captain who has seized his prize and will never relinquish it, ensnaring her in a gilded cage of flesh and unyielding duty.
