Elara watched Aiden from across the room, his shoulders tense as he pored over an ancient tome.

Each mention of Damian's upcoming visit seemed to draw a line of irritation across his brow, deepening with every word.

Aiden's hand stilled, the quill hovering mid-air. He didn't look up. "Did he now?" His voice was a clipped blade, sharp and cold.

She reached out, tentative, her fingers barely brushing his arm. "Aiden?"
