Raelynn's heels tapped gently on the marble floor as she walked beside Elion, her hand brushing his arm lightly. The grand ballroom stretched before them, golden chandeliers spilling a soft light over the elegantly dressed guests. Polite voices and the light ring of glasses filled the air, blending with the distant melody of an orchestra.

A quick peek revealed his sculpted jaw, his eyes scanning the room with that predatory focus in his eyes.
The moment they stepped in, a group of men and women in designer outfits made their way over to greet them with smiles. "Elion!" one of the men greeted warmly, raising his glass in a casual toast. "It's been too long. And might I ask, who's the beautiful lady accompanying you tonight?" His eyes sparkled with curiosity.
