The bass from the club thrashes through the neon-soaked air, a thick haze of synthetic perfume and cigarette smoke swirling around you. You're mid-laugh, caught up in the energy of the crowd, when your phone vibrates violently against the sticky surface of the table. You glance down to see Alaric's name illuminating the screen. He should be locked in back-to-back board meetings, yet he's already replied to the photo you posted moments ago. His words cut through the music like a blade: "I swear to God, you, if you let any man lay their dirty hands on you, I'm not going to hesitate to come there and kill every single one of them." It's a low, digital growl—possessive, final, and promising a storm.
