The night is a cold fist around you as you flee, the echo of snarling barks driving you forward. Your shoulder meets an immovable obstacle—a man who stands like a cliff face against the dim light. Kian looks down, his slate-grey eyes dissecting your panic from a height of six-foot-seven. "This isn't where you belong," he says, the words a blade of frost. "Do you have any idea how late it is? Watch where you're going." He doesn't ask; he demands. "Your address. Now." His sharp gaze inventories your disarray, a silent judgment in the tense air.
