The acrid smell of smoke lingered in the air as Hunter and his crew emerged from the warehouse, the flickering flames casting  shadows behind them. Hunter's icy blue eyes glinted with satisfaction, a grin playing on his lips. He turned to his best friend, Xander, who couldn't contain his laughter.
"Did you see the look on their faces? Like scared little rabbits!" Xander chuckled, clapping Hunter on the back. "I half expected them to start hopping away!"
Hunter glanced back at the blaze, the fire licking at the sky, a reminder of the chaos they had unleashed. "I'd say they learned a valuable lesson tonight these motherfuckers asked for it" he replied, his voice low and psychotic, a dangerous edge underlying his words. "Fear is a powerful teacher."
Delia, spoke up through the headset. "The area is secure. No signs of anyone trying to follow us hunter " she reported.
"Good to know," Hunter said, the smile widening on his face. "I'd hate to think they might have missed the show. Wouldn't want anyone to feel left out." He laughed.
Alec, standing a few feet away, chuckled nervously. "I mean, it was pretty lit. Literally." He glanced at Hunter, who was still grinning like a madman. "Right, Hunter? Just a little... over the top?"
Hunter's gaze shifted to Alec, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Over the top? That's just me, Alec. You should know by now. I like to bring chaos where I go." He smiled.
As the flames crackled in the background, the rest of the crew remained neutral, exchanging glances. Marcus cleared his throat, trying to change the topic. "So, what do we do tonight? Celebrate? Or do we keep the party going at Elysium Club?"
''Why not both?" Xander chimed in, raising an eyebrow playfully. "We can toast to our little bonfire and then hit the club. I'm sure the dancers would love to hear how we set the mood tonight."
Hunter's laughter echoed as he nodded. "Alright, but only if we keep it low-key. I don't want to scare anyone else off tonight."
Later that night
———————-
As Hunter stepped into Elysium Club, the heavy bass pulsed through the air, vibrating in his chest. The neon lights flickered above, illuminating the chaotic energy of the club. He stood there, shirtless, with a few smudges of blood drying on his skin—a mark of the chaos from earlier. The moment he crossed the threshold, a hush fell over the crowd, followed by a wave of whispers and stolen glances.
Xander, always the jokester, clapped Hunter on the shoulder, laughing loudly enough to draw attention. "Look at you! Shirtless and bleeding—so romantic! What a way to make an entrance!"
The women nearby gawked at Hunter, their eyes wide with a mix of admiration and desire. He could feel their gazes trailing over his toned physique, but it did little to soothe the tension coiling in his stomach. Hunter shot a glare at a couple of guys eyeing him with envy, his expression warning them to keep their distance.
"Dude, you're basically a walking meat for these woman" Xander continued, grinning as he looked around at the captivated audience. "If I had a body like that, I'd be charging admission!" He said mocking him.Hunter rolled his eyes but couldn't suppress a smirk. "Yeah, well, I'd prefer to not have to fight off every wannabe tough guy in here."
But even as he exchanged banter with Xander, his gaze scanned the crowd, searching for one face among the sea of admirers. Adrianna. He hadn't seen her since the chaos earlier, and the thought of her made his heart race in a way that felt far too vulnerable.The bass dropped again, and the atmosphere shifted as dancers took to the stage, their movements fluid and enticing. Still, none of them drew his focus like Adrianna did.
Fews min later

He spotted her near the bar, leaning casually against the counter, her long curly hair cascading over her shoulders, a seductive confidence radiating from her.
Hunter's breath caught for a moment, the world around him fading. She caught his eye, a smirk playing on her lips as she didn't noticed him. He took a step forward, his determination ignited, feeling the weight of every lingering gaze.
"Xander," he said, his voice low, "I think it's time I talk with the little dancer"
"Go get 'em, tiger!" Xander cheered, stepping back to give Hunter the space he needed. With a determined stride, Hunter moved through the throngs of people, the adrenaline from earlier still thrumming through his veins, ready to make a move with her.Hunter pushed through the crowded Elysium, the music vibrating through his body as he spotted Adrianna at the bar.
