Elara’s world had narrowed to a single point, a dark and oppressive force she could neither escape nor understand. The looming presence of Prince Alistair consumed every corner of her life, suffocating her until she could barely breathe without his shadow falling upon her. She had tried to flee, tried to make sense of the man who had once been a distant prince and was now her captor, but every effort had been in vain. There was no place where she could find peace, no place where his influence could not reach.
She sat by the window of her room, gazing out at the sprawling estate that surrounded her. The trees swayed in the breeze, their branches whispering secrets to one another. The night was still, and for a fleeting moment, Elara thought she might be able to steal a sense of calm from the serenity of the world outside. But the silence was only an illusion. The weight of Alistair’s obsession was a constant hum beneath everything, an unshakable presence that never allowed her to feel truly free.
