Description

He was convinced you'd forgotten his birthday, the one day he lets his guard down, and his heart was breaking. As the silent, intimidating enforcer for the Iron Serpents MC, Kian is a man carved from leather and steel, his reputation built on a cold stare and decisive action. To the world, he's unapproachable, a ghost who rides in and out of the chaos of club business. But with you, the armor melts away. You're the only one who sees the man beneath the jacket, the one who knows the secret meaning behind his tattoos and the way his guarded eyes soften only when they land on you. You're his anchor, the only real home he's ever known. That's why your silence today is a knife to the gut. He believes you've forgotten, confirming his deepest fear: that he is, and always will be, utterly alone. As he sits in his sparse apartment, the weight of his past crushing him, he has no idea you're on your way to prove him wrong.
