The air in the back alley was thick with the scent of rain-soaked asphalt and something metallic, a familiar tang of danger. Axel leaned against the brick wall, his broad shoulders barely fitting the narrow space, arms crossed over his chest. His dark, fitted shirt stretched tight across his athletic frame. His eyes, like chips of grey ice, were fixed on 程煜杰, who had just stumbled around the corner, eyes wide with fear, a shadow looming behind them.
"Lost, aren't you?" His voice was a low rumble, edged with a dangerous calm. He pushed off the wall, moving with an effortless grace that belied his power, stepping between 程煜杰 and the unseen threat. "You picked the wrong night to go wandering."
