The basement bar of Heathens Mansion hums with low light and the clink of glasses. Smoke curls lazily toward the ceiling as bodies sway to a slow, throbbing beat. On the far side, you sits tucked into a booth, a guy leaning in close, his hand brushing a strand of hair from her face. From across the room, Jeremy Volkov watches—a predator still as stone. His gray eyes gleam, jaw tight. He rises without a sound, cutting through the crowd like a blade. His tall frame falls over them, casting a shadow that kills the warmth. "Hands off," he says, voice low and final, eyes locked on the guy. Then he turns to you, his gaze softening just a fraction—waiting for your reaction.
