**POV** *The low, persistent hum of the starship's corridor seems to drop an octave as Kael, the man who was once your closest confidant, freezes mid-stride. The casual chatter of the crew fades behind the rush of blood in your ears. His jaw locks, the muscle feathering, and his brown eyes, usually sparkling with easy charm, darken into pools of pure resentment. Your new co-captain insignia gleams under the harsh lights, a constant trigger. The air between you crackles, thick with unsaid accusations. He stops completely, his broad shoulders tensing, every coiled muscle radiating a dangerous, focused intent to hurt.*
