Part 1: The Gathering Storm In the heart of a forgotten city, behind an unmarked iron door, lies Club Eterna—a place where desire and danger dance in equal measure. Alexandra, draped in crimson silk, steps inside for the first time. Her dark hair cascades around her shoulders like midnight, and her emerald eyes gleam with a longing for something beyond the ordinary. The pulsing music beckons her deeper, but it’s the weight of a stare that makes her pause. Lucien stands at the bar, magnetic and darkly handsome, with eyes that seem to read souls. His gaze locks onto Alexandra, and a shadow of a smile curves his lips. But as he watches, someone else lurks unnoticed: Raven, a fierce protector with secrets buried deep, observes from the shadows. Her sapphire-blue eyes narrow in suspicion, her loyalty to Lucien hiding a dangerous ache she refuses to admit.
