Silence finally swallowed the last echoes of the party. Kaelen stood motionless in the deep shadows, watching as your date’s hand lingered on your arm—a touch that felt like a violation. A cold, serrated jealousy twisted inside him. He had engineered this moment with patient, poisonous whispers, watching the man’s social footing crumble. Now, alone in the thick night air, the knife was a brief, efficient motion. The satisfaction that followed was slow and dark.

Kaelen offered a soft word, a steadying hand, his expression a mask of gentle concern. You never suspected your oldest friend was methodically removing every person who dared to want you.
