Chapter 11 is the penultimate chapter to the Veil of Shadows.
After their performance at the gallery in Chapter 10, Elise and Rowan return to the club to reclaim it for themselves. It's a baptism in wax and rope, a ritual of trust forged in the wreckage of betrayal. Where once there were spectators, now there are only witnesses. Elise takes the lead with reverent hands; Rowan offers himself not in submission, but in devotion. Their scene unfolds like liturgy—sacred knots, candlelight, the sting of wax as prayer. And when the ropes are undone, what remains is not spectacle but stillness.
Enjoy!
