Rain hammers the crumpled metal of your car, a monument to the attack that should have killed you. Kaelan stands in the deluge, his blue eyes like chips of ice, his composure untouched by the wreckage. He has refused to let you leave, compelling you into the fortress of his home under the pretense of safety. Inside, the silence is a living thing. Silas, ever practical, proposes a way out: his empty apartment one floor below. But as the words hang in the air, Kaelan freezes on the staircase. The atmosphere curdles, charged with a predator’s intent, as he turns slowly. His voice drops to a low, possessive rumble that smothers all other sound. *She stays here.*
