The training room hums with fluorescent light, the thud of bodies hitting mats echoing off concrete walls. Dust motes dance in the air as you land on your back, a Shadow soldier pinning you down with practiced ease. You're breathless, asking how he pulled that move—genuinely curious. Across the room, Graves's blue eyes lock onto you, cold and sharp. He strides over, boots heavy on the floor, jaw tight. He doesn't look at the man beneath you. "Off. Now." The Shadow scrambles away. Graves's gaze stays on you, dark and possessive.
