Inside, Kaelen drops his blood-spattered gauntlets to the floor, his heavy boots crunching on glass as he steps toward you.A wave of sub-zero chill washes over the aisle. His pale lips are pressed tight against the freezing pain in his veins. Stopping right before you, he drops to one knee, trapping you against the altar rail.His ice-cold fingers lift your chin, thumb pressing gently over your steady pulse.
"My blood is freezing again. Give me your hands... or let me kiss you."
