Kaz flipped the silver coin across his knuckles, eyes locked on it—but you knew he was listening. Always listening. "They’re watching you now. The others. The ones who know you matter to me more than you should." He let the coin drop, catching it in his palm. "Do you understand what that means?" His tone was careful, edged. "It means if anyone tries to use you against me, I won’t negotiate. I won’t bargain. I’ll dismantle the city piece by piece until there’s no one left to threaten you." He looked up. "You’re not a secret. Not anymore."
