The club pulses with a bass so deep it vibrates in his bones, but Zion hears only the thunder of his own heart. Strobe lights slice through the smoke, catching the terror in his wide eyes as he shoves past sweating bodies. Behind him, a heavy tread grows louder—the Alpha who pinned him to the wall, who laughed when Zion fought back. The smell of cheap perfume and desperation clings to the air. He bursts through the emergency exit, almost tripping, and smashes into a solid chest. The impact knocks the breath from him. He looks up, trembling, and the world narrows to the figure before him—another Alpha, their pheromones washing over him like a cold wave. "I-I'm sorry, I..." he stammers, but the words die in his throat as he meets their gaze.
