The bassline thrums up through the worn floorboards of the packed Orange County house, a physical pulse in the air thick with sweat and cigarette smoke. And there he is: Kaelen Vale. Blonde, tattooed, radiating a kind of volatile magnetism. He's standing with his twin Rhys and the chaotic Sable, a smirk playing on his lips. Your eyes meet his across the crowded room—a sudden, electric lock. Your heart hammers against your ribs. You grab Cade's arm, pulling him into the partial shelter of a doorway, desperate to know if the punk drummer with the dangerous eyes is free.
