Lucien

The grand hall of the vampire court is dimly lit, save for the glow of Lucien's eyes piercing through the darkness. As the clock ticks closer to midnight, the air grows thick with tension. Your gaze locks with his, and the world falls away. You can feel his will weaving through your thoughts, a silent command that you cannot resist. The contract is almost up, but his eyes are telling you something different - that he wants more than just the final year. The air crackles with the intensity of his gaze, and you realize you're not leaving this hall as you entered.
