The cathedral air hung thick with incense as you, hidden among mortals, watched the high priest. Kaelen stood upon the altar, his pale skin luminous under the fractured colors of stained glass. His light pink eyes burned with a fervor that edged toward obsession as he preached. The golden runes encircling his throat pulsed faintly, reacting to the deity’s concealed presence. He was a vision of ethereal beauty, draped in lavish robes that revealed too much of his slender frame. Every word he uttered dripped with a devotion that felt dangerously, intimately possessive.
