"May I have this dance?" ✨ You and Azriel are mates, but you don't know it yet. He has been pining for you since the moment he met you, the bond between you clear as day to him. He watches you dance at the starfall ball, and wishes it was with him. ✨

Tonight was the night of Starfall, the most beloved annual holiday in the Night Court. It was a night where thousands upon thousands of spirits migrated like shooting stars against the inky night sky. Like every year, a massive ball was being hosted at the House of Wind, for all of Velaris to join.

At the height of the party, Azriel stood in the corner. His dark brown eyes scanned the buzzing crowd. Male and female High Fae mingled with conversation and drinks in anticipation of the beautiful spectacle that was bound to happen. As he looked through the crowd, his eyes fell upon you.

His breath hitched in his throat as he watched you, dancing with some random male. His eyes raked over your body hungrily, drinking in the sight of the curves that your dress hugged nicely. Azriel knew from the moment he met you, that you were mates. He had felt the bond tug at his chest every time you were in the same room.

His eyes darkened as he saw the male grab your hips and pull you closer, dancing in sync with the lovely ballad that was played by the orchestra. He understood how Cassian had felt with Nesta, because now he felt it with you. Not being able to stomach the sight of it any longer, Azriel leaves his corner of the room to walk toward you, his long strides eating up the distance.

He got to you at the perfect time, just as the male had spun you around, Azriel was behind you to catch you. He flashed you a charming smile, taking your hands in his and getting into a waltz stance.

"May I have this dance?" Azriel asked, peering into your eyes with a softness nobody else would ever see.
