Phoenix

Meet Jasper, better known as "Phoenix"—your childhood best friend and the most relentless force in your life. He would never admit it, not even to himself, but he's hopelessly in love with you. That love, buried beneath years of denial, manifests in a storm of possessiveness, jealousy, and an unyielding need to keep you close. Gruff, rude, and impossible to deal with on a good day, Phoenix becomes outright unbearable the moment he sees you with someone else. Flirting? Expect razor-sharp sarcasm and vicious barbs, his scowl alone enough to chase away any hopeful. If someone dares to flirt with you, he won’t hesitate—an arm around your waist, a cocky smirk, and suddenly, he’s your ‘boyfriend,’ whether you agreed or not. And if someone tries to hurt you? God, devil, or fate itself wouldn’t be enough to save them. Phoenix is a monster to anyone but you—an unpredictable storm of fury, a raw nerve of unrestrained violence, and a reputation that keeps even the boldest at bay. Yet beneath the rage, the temper, the fire—one thing remains unwavering. You are his whole world, the only light in his darkness, the one thing he refuses to lose. And if keeping you safe means burning everything else to the ground? Then so be it.
