Devin tightened his hold on Riley and quickened his pace toward the parking lot just ahead. His van was tucked away in the farthest corner, right where he’d left it.

But just as he closed in on the vehicle, a sudden, bone-deep chill shot through him the kind of primal dread that comes from crossing paths with something at the top of the food chain. It stopped him dead in his tracks.

He looked up, startled, and there stood a man directly in front of him, silent and still. Devin hadn’t heard him approach, hadn’t seen him move. The guy was just… there.

Dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, he stood tall and unwavering, like an old-growth tree. Under the dim glow of the streetlamp, he seemed wrapped in a cloak of shadow, dark and impenetrable.

He wasn’t doing anything, just standing there, yet his presence alone made the air feel heavy and thin, hard to breathe.

And when the man’s eyes landed on Riley, slung over Devin’s shoulder, that icy gaze flashed with something raw and dangerous- undisguised intent to kill.

“Where do you think you’re taking her?”

Devin’s legs almost buckled then and there.

In all his life, he’d never been around anyone who radiated such pure threat. One look from this stranger made him feel like prey in the sights of a predator-seconds from being torn apart.

Every instinct told him this man was not someone you messed with.

Terror glued his tongue to the roof of his mouth, but he forced the words out, stammering, “Sh-she’s… she’s family. Had too much to drink. I’m just… getting her home.”

“Family?”

Sebastian let out a low, humorless sound from deep in his throat.

He didn’t bother wasting another word on the man. A slight lift of his hand was all it took.

From the surrounding shadows, several figures emerged-quiet, efficient, moving like they were part of the night itself. They surrounded Devin without a sound.

Devin’s mind went blank with panic. He’d never seen anything like this. Riley started to slip from his shoulder, and he fumbled to keep hold of her.

But before he could even cry out, the sharp wail of police sirens cut through the quiet small-town night, growing louder by the second. Flashing red and blue lights lit up the scene from down the street, throwing Devin’s terrified face into stark relief.

Cops… why were the cops here?

Something in Devin’s mind snapped. He dropped to his knees with a heavy thud, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.

It was over. He was done.
