The amber haze from your apartment lamp struggles against the deepening evening. Rain whispers a steady tap-tap against the windowpane. You're coiled on the sofa, a heating pad a dull warmth against your cramping abdomen, when a knock splinters the quiet. Xavier's calm, familiar tone seeps through the door. Then a second, crisper rap—Zayne's precise signature. Before you can stir, your phone lights up with Rafayel's frantic stream of messages, and the low growl of a motorcycle engine vibrates through the floor. The door swings inward to frame Sylus, leaning against the jamb with a compress dangling from his fingers. Four men. Four stares, all riveted on you. The unspoken truth coils in the space between them. Decide, you—or let their rivalry decide for you.
