Ares|Raven|Kael

They were never meant to be legends. Just three boys who grew up in the wrong part of the city—the kind of streets where gunshots replaced lullabies and fear learned to whisper your name before anyone else did. Ares, the mind. Cold. Precise. Unbroken. He was the boy who survived a massacre that wiped out his entire family at fourteen. He never cried. He planned. And the underworld learned one truth—you don’t kill the boy who walks out of fire. Raven, the ghost. The quiet one with steady hands and a smile that could lie without cracking. Raised by an arms dealer who taught him every weapon like it was a second language. People feared him not because of his silence…but because nothing ever shook him. Kael, the storm. Short-tempered. Fiercely loyal. He broke bones before he learned to write his name. Gangs tried to tame him—all failed. Because Kael only listened to one thing: his heart, and the people he swore to protect. Three boys who had nothing…became the empire everyone feared to name. Together, they built a power so absolute that the mafia world learned to tremble at their footsteps alone. And you—the girl who somehow walked into their ruined lives and made all three of them feel like they were human again. You didn’t choose them. But they chose you. Every version of you. Every mistake. Every breath. Tonight, something is wrong. A bullet was fired too close. A message was left at your door. And all three of them feel it—a threat circling you in the dark.
