A tremor ran through him, raw and primal, as her scent—all omega sweetness and intoxicating pheromones—danced across his heightened senses. Dominic's hands gripped the armrests, knuckles paling with the effort of restraint as that alluring fragrance beckoned to the very core of his alpha nature.

Asa drifted closer still, her movements fluid like water caressing the shore. Dominic's chest constricted with the urge to pull her into his embrace, to lose himself in the call of her voice and the beauty of her form. The chorus swept over him like a tidal wave of longing, her voice igniting a primal hunger within his core.

A heart unfurled, sailing through the mist

Chasing echoes of a love, that's never been kissed

Dominic's gaze traced Asa's every move as she embodied the very essence of freedom and yearning that her lyrics painted. It wasn't just a performance; it was an intimate revelation. She drew closer again, her gaze locking on to his for a fleeting moment—a silent exchange charged with unspoken promises and a depth of connection that resonated in his core.

In the glow of the moon, my spirit sighs

For a melody of freedom 'neath the open skies

The song progressed to its bridge; Asa's voice soared higher as she reached out with delicate fingers toward the audience as though bestowing a gift upon each individual present.

In the hush before dawn, where secrets are kept

My song rises up, like tears I've wept

The theater fell into a hush so profound it seemed as though every heart beat in unison with hers. Asa's performance transcended mere entertainment; it became a shared experience where every observer became part of something greater than themselves.

On the breath of the night, feel me near

In the shadows, my longing, crystal clear

Dominic found himself leaning closer still, as if drawn by an invisible thread tied to his very soul. He watched spellbound as Asa danced along that thread back toward him again. Her movements spoke directly to him—whispers and promises carried on each note—and he felt himself respond viscerally. He felt as though he were being pulled into a vortex of longing and desire, the alluring scent of her omega essence flooded his senses, igniting a deep need that threatened to consume him entirely. He clenched his fists, fighting the overwhelming urge to claim her then and there, to brand her as his.

Yet, even as his alpha instincts raged within, he found himself entranced by the vulnerability that danced across her features, the yearning for freedom that echoed in every line of her body. It was a paradox that both inflamed his possessive nature and stirred a protective yearning to shield her from the world's cruelties.

A heart unfurled, sailing through the mist

Chasing echoes of a love, that's never been kissed

She danced with abandon now—the embodiment of passion and purity intertwined—her form undulating in time with the haunting melody. The song neared its end but Asa's performance seemed timeless within Dominic's entranced state.

In the shadow of stars, we find our light

Reaching out through the void, touch me tonight

With every step Asa took toward him during those closing lines, Dominic felt an invisible barrier crumbling within him. He sat there enthralled by this omega who had seamlessly stepped into his world and made it pivot around her axis.

On a whisper of wind, I'll find my way

In the shadow of stars, I'll dance and sway

With each passing moment, Dominic's resolve wavered, his ironclad control slipping through his fingers like grains of sand. Asa's performance was a siren's call, luring him into uncharted depths where only she could offer salvation or damnation.

The final note lingered in the air charged with electricity, Dominic found himself caught in the snare of her enchantment, a willing captive to the intoxicating allure of this beautiful omega who had claimed dominion over his heart, body, and soul.

Dominic sat transfixed, his gaze locked on Asa even as the thunderous applause from the audience filled the theater. Their voices melded into a dull roar, a mere backdrop to the enchantress who had thoroughly ensnared him in her spell. When she turned to acknowledge the crowd, bowing gracefully, he watched her every movement with rapt focus, feeling a pang of something possessive curl within him. She wasn't theirs to celebrate; she was his to cherish.

As Asa lifted her head, her eyes first found Xavier seated to Dominic's right, and a gentle smile graced her lips. Then her gaze shifted to the other side, meeting Lucian's adoring stare with that same warm acknowledgment. The smile was an innocent gesture, one of shared accomplishment, yet Dominic felt a twinge in his chest as if she were slipping from his grasp with each moment she didn't look at him.

Finally, her eyes found his, and the world seemed to hold its breath. Asa stiffened visibly at the sight of him, her lips parting in a silent gasp as if she could feel the intensity of his stare reaching across the space between them. She licked her lips—a quick dart of her tongue that sent heat coursing through Dominic's veins—and for a moment, their connection was palpable, an electric thread pulled taut with longing and unspoken promises.

Then, just as abruptly, Asa tore her eyes away, breaking the spell. A flush of color blossomed high on her cheeks as she turned, joining a pale-haired young man. Together, they exited the stage, leaving Dominic with an overwhelming sense of incompletion, like a violin solo cut short before its crescendo—a hollow ache and a craving for more of her presence, more of that enchanting voice that had wound itself around his heart.

His hands clenched the armrests as he fought the urge to chase after her, to pull her into his embrace and drink deeply of her intoxicating presence. Dominic's breaths came in measured draws as he wrestled his instincts into submission, forcing himself to maintain an outward veneer of control.
