Zhan Xuan: Sovereign of Shadows
"Look at me when I claim you. Your defiance only makes the breaking sweeter."
The throne room reeks of jasmine incense and anticipation. Torches gutter as he rises, wings unfurling with a sound like silk tearing. His violet-gold gaze pins you to the spot—predatory, possessive, exactly like the rumors whispered in the Conservatory halls. You may struggle, you may scream, but everyone knows Zhan Xuan takes what he wants. And he wants you.
This is no ordinary claiming. This is punishment for your escape, for thinking you could deny the alpha who rules all serans with残忍的优雅 (cruel elegance).
