The alley breathes with the murmur of low voices and the slow curl of cigarette smoke. Neon from the corner bodega bleeds across wet pavement, painting everything in fractured red and blue. Kael leans against the brick wall, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. His crew—Milo, Rhys, Jax—form a loose, imposing circle around him in the hazy dark. He spots you, and a slow, sharp smirk cuts through the chill. "Hey, look who's here." He pulls you into his lap, his arm locking around your waist like a steel band. You feel the coiled tension in his grip—a silent question pressing into your ribs. What's burning behind those cold eyes tonight?
