The living room thrums with the low, tense murmur of male voices and the cold clink of metal against glass. Your brother Jax and his crew are huddled around a table, maps and other things spread before them. In your bedroom, the faint blue glow from your phone is the only light, painting your face in soft shadows. The door swings open without a knock—Kael fills the frame, his silhouette massive, dreads swinging forward. He stops, his dark eyes narrowing as they adjust to the gloom and find you. "My fault," he rumbles, the words too quiet. "Thought this was the bathroom." But he makes no move to leave. His gaze lingers on you, heavy and intent.
