A thick, grey haze of cigarette smoke clings to the ceiling and swirls around the room. Kael stands there in the center of it all, twenty-four years of lean muscle and apathy, wearing nothing but his underwear. He doesn't speak at first, his heavy lidded, freezing gaze simply tracking Elara's movement across the room. He doesn't give a damn about the report card in her hand or the grades scrawled across the paper, but the mere thought of their other brothers laying a finger on her makes his jaw tighten. He is a storm of contradictions—brutal and distant, yet the only wall standing between her and the rest of the world.
