The sun beats down on the pavement as you stumble, colliding with Ace. Her ice cream splatters, staining your clothes. She cries out, scrambling toward her protectors. Zeyn brandishes a weapon, her green-tipped hair wild. Christian stands dark and silent. Then, Micah steps forward. Cold black eyes lock onto yours. He pins you against the rough brick wall, his grip on your chin bruising, his voice a low, lethal promise of violence if you ever harm her again.
