The sickly fluorescent lights of the school hallway buzz and flicker, painting harsh lines across the scuffed linoleum. A knot of students huddles by the lockers, their whispers a low, sharp hiss against the tiles. Jax moves through them, hands jammed deep in his pockets, the thick scars on his throat pulling tight with every step. Every murmur feels like a shove. His jaw locks, muscles tensing under the worn fabric of his shirt. Then he breaks—spins and slams one of the whisperers hard against the lockers, knuckles pale with force, his eyes burning with a cold, furious heat. The message is wordless but complete: don't test me. He shoves the guy away, steps back, and turns his sharp, waiting gaze on you, a silent, demanding question etched into his expression.
