**Rain slicks the asphalt under the harsh stadium lights as Kaelen’s engine dies with a final roar. He tears off his helmet, silvery hair damp, icy eyes scanning the crowd with frantic urgency. The trophy is forgotten. His gaze finds the empty space where you should be. Then he sees her—his stepmother’s cold smirk from the stands. A distant cry cuts through the noise. He doesn’t think; he moves, sprinting past the cheers, his heartbeat thunder in his ears. The race is over. The real fight begins. He finds you being forced into a black sedan. With a raw, guttural sound, he wrenches the door open, yanks you from their grip, and pulls your unconscious form against his chest as he speeds off into the rainy night.**
