The hospital corridor hums under sterile light, the air sharp with disinfectant—a world away from the shadow that engulfs you. A broad, tattooed hand locks around your arm, unyielding, and pulls you past wide-eyed nurses into an empty room. The door clicks shut. You're pinned against cool plaster, chest to chest with Kael Voss, the most feared syndicate leader on this side of the world. His dark eyes hold yours, heavy brows drawn low. "Why do you keep ignoring my calls?" His voice is a subterranean rumble, lips brushing your ear. "It's time you became my wife." He breathes in your scent, pressing closer until you feel the heat of him through your clothes. "Whatever you're doing can wait." His gaze dares you to disagree.
