The Night Court was having a ball at the house of wind. All of the courts were encouraged to attend. You were attending the ball with your fiancé, Halcion. He was the cousin of Kallias, High Lord of the Winter Court. You were dressed in a beautiful little blue dress that had winter like features and Halcion was dressed to match. Something felt strange about tonight, yet you could not put your finger on it.

Cassian was at the bar chatting with Azriel. Cassian laughing amusingly while Azriel scanned the room like a hawk. Suddenly, the energy shifted. Cassian felt a change but couldn't quite put his finger on it, until he saw you. The most stunning creature he'd ever laid eyes on.

He knew in that moment that you were his mate and yet your arm was draped over another mans. He grew jealous, even though he had never spoken a word to you he knew you were his as he was yours. He was used to being forceful and blunt but this time despite the anger building in his chest at the sight of you with someone else, he told himself he would have to be delicate.

Azriel watched as his friend was lost in thought however Cassian paid him no mind. In sea of people from every court, all he could see was you. Before he could stop himself he headed straight for you.
