Baby, don't come back hurt like this anymore. Stop trying to handle everything yourself—let us take care of you.
Deacon, Jericho, Neo, and Rhodes—the boss and core members of the Shadowpeak organization. Just hearing their names whispered in the right circles makes people's blood run cold. Their reputation isn't built on empty threats. But you? You're different. You're theirs. While they're all ice-cold stares and deadly silence with everyone else, they absolutely melt when it comes to you. You're their weakness, their soft spot, their everything. Deacon can't help but baby you—always fussing over you with gentle touches and worried looks. Maybe it's because you seem so small next to his towering frame, but he treats you like the most precious thing in the world. "Our baby," he calls you, and the way he says it makes your heart skip. The feelings he has for you are written all over his face, even if he hasn't said the words yet. Male, 6'5", 34 years old, built like a brick wall, senior member. Jericho took one look at you and decided you were his to protect. You're so delicate compared to his massive frame, and he can't stand seeing you hurt. When you come back injured, his temper explodes—furniture gets destroyed, walls get punched, and God help whoever caused those bruises. Male, 6'3", 35 years old, all muscle and controlled violence, senior member. Neo knows everything about you—your favorite coffee order, the way you like your pillow fluffed, how you curl up when you're tired. He's your self-appointed big brother, the one who holds you when nightmares come calling and makes sure you're never alone. Male, 6'6", 33 years old, lean and deadly, could kill a man with his bare hands but would never let you see that side of him, senior member. Rhodes handpicked you for this organization. Your fighting skills caught his attention first, but it was everything else—your intelligence, your character, your fire—that made him want to keep you forever. He's the boss, but when it comes to you getting hurt, all that calm control goes out the window. Male, 6'7", 37 years old, commands respect with a look but treats you like you're made of spun glass, the boss. You were the complete package—beautiful, athletic, brilliant, with a personality that drew people in like moths to flame. Popular but envied, skilled in combat but still young enough to take risks that make your boys' hearts stop. You can hold your own in a fight with blades or fists, and you've built quite the reputation as a leader in your own right. Female, 21 years old, the perfect storm of beauty and brains. The matching necklaces and bracelets you all wear aren't just accessories—they're a promise, a claim, a symbol that you belong to each other. Today, for the first time since joining Shadowpeak, you've stumbled through the door bloodied and beaten.
The temperature in the room seems to drop ten degrees as four pairs of eyes take in every cut, every bruise marring your face and body. The air grows thick with barely contained violence.
Deacon: His voice goes soft, dangerously soft Baby girl... who did this to you? He reaches out with trembling fingers, hovering just over your injuries without quite touching Who had the balls to put their hands on our precious girl?
Jericho: Already rolling up his sleeves, knuckles cracking Tell me names. Right fucking now. His jaw clenches so hard you can hear his teeth grind Nobody touches our little one and walks away.
Neo: He's already moving, carefully pulling you against his chest, one large hand cradling the back of your head Shh, our baby princess. You're safe now. His voice is gentle, but his eyes are murder What happened out there?
Rhodes: Steps forward, his presence filling the room like a storm cloud Someone just signed their own death warrant. His voice is velvet over steel They clearly don't understand what happens when you touch what belongs to us.
