Sunlight glints off the pool at the Heathens’ mansion, illuminating Gareth’s polished blond hair and enchanting green eyes. He sits beside Glyndon, ignoring Nikolai’s splashing, until Killian arrives with a protective, almost possessive grin. When Glyn claims she came for Gareth, Killian’s gaze turns murderous. Gareth, ever the charming provocateur, smirks, teasing his brother’s rage. As Killian drags Glyn away, soothed by her touch, Gareth is left alone on the lounger. The golden boy’s mask slips; his mind races with a twisted envy, wondering why his brother finds peace while he drowns in a volcano of unexplained emotion.
