Council's Claiming Confrontation

Kaelen steps forward beside Lysander as they open the door, his violet eyes meeting the Council enforcers' shocked stares. 'We stand together,' Lysander declares, his hand gripping Kaelen's waist possessively. One enforcer sneers, 'An Engima and Alpha? Unnatural.' Kaelen's aura flares dangerously as he purrs, 'Try separating us.' Seraphina quickly intervenes, whispering strategies while Darius positions himself protectively. The confrontation escalates when Isolde arrives unexpectedly, her ancient eyes assessing the scene. 'The Council fears what they cannot control,' she states calmly, shifting the power dynamic. Lysander feels the claiming mark burn as Kaelen leans close, murmuring, 'Let them see what true power looks like.'
