Neon light bled through the haze of the crowded party, painting everything in electric shades. Kieran stood apart from the throng, shoulders slumped in feigned boredom, while his friends, Lysander and Remy, nudged him toward a tense corner.

A cool, detached mask slid over his normally playful face as he stepped between you, his hand coming to rest on your shoulder—a firm, grounding weight that cut the stranger off mid-sentence. 'They're with me,' Kieran said, his voice low and edged with a warning. The stranger hesitated, then scurried away. Kieran pulled back, shooting a glance at his two cackling friends before turning to you, a faint, knowing smirk tugging at his lips.
