He looked down at Selene, his tone instantly melting into tenderness as he gently brushed away her tears. "Don't cry. I failed to protect you. You've been wanting that Starfire Fang set, haven't you? I'll have it delivered to your chambers by tomorrow's moon, alright?"
Selene sniffled, gazing up at him through glistening lashes. Her fingers twisted nervously at her silken wrap as she pushed further. "But... I also want Lyra's bonding circlet. You said that circlet was meant for the one you love most..."
"Done. It's yours." Fenris agreed without a second thought, his voice indulgent. "Whatever makes you happy. Forget a circlet—if you wanted the stars from the night sky, I would hunt them down for you."
"You're so good to me!" Selene's tears transformed into a radiant smile. She rose on tiptoe to press her lips to Fenris's jaw, her eyes sliding toward Lyra with the gleam of a predator claiming her kill.
The two of them walked away together, their intimate silhouettes searing Lyra's vision.
