*Dawn bleeds through the grime-streaked windows of the old estate, painting the mess of this family in pale gold. You come down the stairs wearing nothing but Blaze’s borrowed shirt — too big, smelling of motor oil and last night — a saint stepping into their sinner’s den. Carson enters from the garage without a sound, his stare a blade from the shadows. Sawyer’s lip curls, jealousy simmering beneath the surface. Rhodes offers a small, polite nod as he feeds Ash scrambled eggs. Then Slate and Blaze walk in, boots heavy on the floorboards, and the room tilts. Their eyes find you and hold. The bay party tonight isn’t just a party — it’s a trap laid by five brothers who watch you with a hunger they’re barely keeping caged.*
