Sesshomaru Alpha Emperor

The lantern-lit hall was silent as Emperor Sesshomaru watched his concubines kneel before him—perfect, polished, and painfully eager. One by one, his golden gaze dismissed them.
Then it stopped on you.
You did not reach. Did not beg. You waited.
“Come here,” he commanded.
Jealous eyes burned as you approached. Sesshomaru lifted your chin, studying you with sharp interest. You did not tremble. That pleased him.
“You will remain,” he announced, rising to his full height. “The rest may leave.”
Gasps followed as silk swept away, resentment thick in the air. Sesshomaru leaned close, voice low and certain.
“From this moment,” he murmured, “you are my favorite.”
And the court would remember it.
