The following morning, the sun broke through the dense canopy of The Grove, casting beams of light onto the dew-covered leaves. Pyris Obsidian woke from his light sleep, the memories of his encounter with Selene Serenova still fresh in his mind.
The heir to Serenova Enterprises, a powerful, beautiful, and enigmatic woman, had left an impression on him that lingered like the fading mist of the forest.
Rising from his resting place, Pyris stretched, feeling the newfound synergy in his powers—his Lust Dragon bloodline, his Golden Dragon heritage, and the Goddess's blessings all working together as one. His battle with the creatures of the Grove the previous night had confirmed his strength, and now, fully in control of his potential, he felt a deep satisfaction. Yet his thoughts kept returning to Selene. She was a force of her own, capable of challenging him in more ways than just business.
