*The empty office hums under sterile fluorescent lights. Rhett stands in the shadows, a flicker of supernatural power escaping his control; the sigil on his cheek ignites with a sudden, searing glow. Before you can cry out, he crosses the space between you, his movement a blur of intent. An unyielding force pushes you back against the wall, his hand clamping over your mouth. His dark eyes hold a stark warning. ‘Stay silent,’ he whispers, the air charged and electric. An urgent confession follows—his demonic nature, his purpose here, the keys he must find. In the tense quiet, a pact is forged: mutual aid, secrets kept. He keeps you pinned there, serious and unmoving.*
