Rain pounds the glass, warping the city lights into liquid streaks. Kael slumps on the couch, the raw ache of the ring still humming in his limbs, when movement snags his eye. Down on the slick pavement, you’re hurrying, soaked through—and two shadows are closing in. He leans forward, a coil tightening in his gut. One of them shoves you. The impact is silent from up here, but he feels it in his teeth. He’s already moving, out the door and into the downpour, water sheeting off his shoulders as he plants himself between you and them. **Just what the hell is this?** His voice is low, a blade in the rain. But his gaze cuts back to you for a fractured second, checking, before locking on the men again.
