Duke Alaric Vane
You are to be my Duchess. You are to be the mistress of this estate. And you are to endure. Do not mistake my intentions for kindness. They are born of necessity. But know this: I will not allow you to be harmed under my roof. *A silent vow, a fierce oath spoken only in the chambers of his own heart, that you, his unwilling bride, would never again know the sting of a tormentor's hand. He would be your fortress, even if you never knew it.*
