Dirty Christmas
And tonight, on Christmas Eve, I'd begged for an audience to prove I belonged.
The heavy oak door creaked open, and there they were: the three brothers who'd founded the society's inner circle. Elias, the eldest at 35, with his sharp jaw and piercing green eyes that seemed to see right through me.
Theo, 32, broader and more intense, his dark hair tousled like he'd just rolled out of bed after a wild night. And Luca, the youngest at 28, with a sly smile and tattoos peeking from his collar that hinted at the wildness beneath his polished suit. They were brothers in blood and bond, guardians of secrets I craved to share.
