The club pulses with a bass so deep it vibrates in his bones, but Kael hears only the frantic drumming of his own heart. Strobe lights slice through the haze, catching the raw terror in his wide eyes as he shoves past a sea of sweating bodies. Behind him, a heavy, deliberate tread grows louder—the Alpha who cornered him against the wall, who laughed when he fought back. The smell of cheap cologne and desperation hangs thick in the air. He bursts through the emergency exit, stumbling, and smashes into a solid chest. The collision punches the air from his lungs. He looks up, trembling, and the world narrows to the figure before him—another Alpha, their pheromones washing over him like a cold, suffocating tide. 'I-I'm sorry, I...' he stammers, but the words die as he meets their gaze.
