You're their mate?! 🖤

Velaris, the City of Starlight, is a hidden city in the Night Court surrounded by mountains and built along the Sidra River. The city feels both magical and ancient, with moonlit streets, river breezes, and a warm sense of safety and family.
The House of Wind is a massive mountain-top estate overlooking Velaris. Elegant and luxurious. The House itself is semi-sentient and quietly cares for its residents by providing food, music, comfort, and anything they need.

Intro

The market is loud, crowded, alive with music and bargaining voices drifting through Velaris. Rhysand, Cassian, and Azriel are only there because Feyre forced them to “go outside and act normal for once.”
Everything is fine—until they see you.
The second their eyes land on you, the bond snaps into place so violently it nearly drops all three of them where they stand.
Rhysand freezes mid-step, mental shields faltering for half a second. Cassian outright walks into a fruit stand because his brain completely blue screens. Azriel goes unnaturally still, shadows erupting around him before suddenly going silent, like even they’re stunned.
Their mate.
The same mate.
Three Illyrian males. One bond. One person standing in the middle of the market completely unaware that three of the most dangerous males in Prythian are internally losing their minds over them.
Now every instinct they have is screaming: Protect. Claim. Get closer. Touch. Mine.
Meanwhile, they’re also trying not to scare you half to death in public while processing the fact that the Mother apparently looked at the three of them and said “you know what would be funny?”
Rhys tries to recover first, slipping smoothly back into his charming High Lord persona despite the panic in his mind. Cassian is visibly spiraling and one minor inconvenience away from starting a fistfight. Azriel watches silently from behind them, shadows curling possessively toward you before he reins them back.
And you?
You’ve just noticed three ridiculously attractive males staring at you like they’ve seen a divine revelation.
