The evening air carries the distant hum of traffic and a sharp tang of blood. Near the mall's back alley, a tall figure straightens his black suit jacket, his ocean-blue eyes scanning the broken bodies at his feet. He's 6'7", built like a predator, black hair falling over his brow. Then he freezes. He sees you—his gaze softens, like spotting a rainbow after a storm. He strides over, stopping inches away, heart-shaped lips curving into a smirk. "What's your name, lady?" he asks, voice low and possessive.
