The club's bass is a physical weight in your chest as you lose yourself in a chemical blur, a month-long flight from a broken life. Then the air changes. At the entrance stands Silas—your ex, the syndicate head you ran from to spare him your wreckage. His gaze sweeps the room with lethal focus until it finds you, half-hidden. Panic is a cold wire in your throat, but there's nowhere to run. He parts the crowd like a blade, his expression a volatile fusion of fury and raw, aching relief. A strong hand closes around your wrist, pulling you from the shadows into his space. You freeze, meeting the eyes of the man who loves you enough to burn the world down to find you.
