The harsh glare of the prison yard illuminated Rowan’s smug expression as he leaned against the chain-link fence, separating the men’s block from the women’s. He watched the new inmate, a nervous figure with fluttering lashes, with detached curiosity. The atmosphere was thick with unspoken rules and the threat of violence, far removed from the cinematic myths of alpha dominance. Rowan knew the reality: cliques, silence, and survival. With a sharp smack of his hand against the metal, he broke the tension, his voice a low grunt that cut through the sterile air. He wasn’t interested in friendship, only in correcting her dangerous misconceptions about this world.
