Rosie's POV

"Aren't you going to say anything? C'mon, Rosie," Xylus says pleadingly, rubbing the sides of his temple.

My lips slowly quirk into a grin. I straighten my legs and scoot to the edge of my bed.

"You're not kidding, right? I'm going to work-for real?" I can hardly believe my own question. I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that Xylus-who once forbade me from working-went out of his way to get me a spot as an intern photographer at COLOURS, the biggest photography studio in town.

"And why exactly would I lie?" He rolls his eyes at me as if I'd just asked the most absurd question. I let out a loud whoop and clap my hands.

"I love you so much!" I squeal and launch myself at him, pulling him into a tight bear hug. He groans, but I can tell he's relieved from the way he sighs and pats my back.

"I guess my heartbreak got me something better," I giggle.

Xylus's shoulders stiffen a bit. His eyes dart away as he tucks his fingers into the pocket of his jeans.

    RosieMy grip on the door slips, causing it to slam. A zinging sound echoing in my ear.My heels clack, carrying me away. I didn't know which of the lesser devil I'm running from... Ashton the two-faced bastard or the fact that my supposed friend is right in the room with my brother... And... oh damn!My head feels like cracking open, it's just enough... more than enough to take in...How long has this been going on? To think it's been happening right under my nose. So that was why Xylus kept her identity anonymous and I'd actually trusted her, confided in her... My jaws clench, forming into hard, rigid lines.I'm rushing back to the sitting room..."Rosie..." Xylus calls out, panic seizing his tone. Hurried footsteps follow and I quicken my steps.I don't wait. Don't turn back. Just head the opposite direction, pounding sounds echoing in my wake. My breath, heavy and labored, drowns the sound of my brother's voice."Go away," I mutter under my breath."Come on, Rosie, it's not what y

    ROSIE I'm staring blankly at my ceiling. My ceiling? Wait, my ceiling??I jolt upright, heart hammering, head completely blank like someone hit delete on my memory.What. The. Actual. Fuck. Happened?I dig through my brain for something, anything, but all I get are disjointed flashes: Ashton showing up at COLORS, saying all that cryptic, messed-up stuff... the restaurant... the drink. Yeah. The fucking drink.Oh hell no.That bastard. He drugged me? Seriously? Why the hell would he-My head spins, the room swaying like it's drunker than I am. This wasn't a dream. I know it wasn't. But I can't remember leaving the restaurant. I can't remember coming home. I can't remember walking through my own damn front door.Oh, fuck.I fling the duvet off me like it's to blame, when the door to my room bursts open so hard it slams against the wall."Rosie... where the hell did you go yesterday?"Xylus storms in, eyes blazing, his voice pitch high enough to cut glass.Uh-oh. Big Brother mode has of

    ROSIEAshton somehow pulled one of his tricks with Mr. Corbett, and now we're walking side by side down the street. No car. Just us, the wind biting at my skin, and the pounding in my chest."So," he starts, his voice low, almost uncertain, "I've made up my mind to tell you everything. I'm a fool, Rosie. I shouldn't have told you half-truths... shouldn't have pulled you into this mess... but I can't stay silent if I can't own you."My heart slams harder, as if it already knows he's about to drop something that will splinter my reality. Especially after that one hint, about my parents.My pulse races. My breathing feels shallow.Tell him to quit circling like a damn vulture, Lyra growls in my head, sharp and impatient. For fuck's sake, I'm losing patience.I clench my fists before realizing my palms are slick with sweat, until his hand closes over mine, grounding me and unsteadying me all at once."The night the Shadow Pack attacked," he begins, "my father ordered me locked away. Somew

    ROSIE"Shut up. What do you mean 'like you screw Alpha Dominic'?" Ella's grinning at me like I've just confessed the juiciest secret of the century.Meanwhile, I'm over here drowning in guilt, feeling like I should be stretched out on some therapist's couch spilling my sins."Lower your voice..." I hiss, glancing around. I can't decide if I should tell her this isn't something to celebrate... or that I seriously might need help.Her eyes widen, a wicked sparkle in them. "Wait, so that means you've screwed both Lockwood brothers? Those two walking, talking wet dreams?" She lets out a dramatic gasp. "Rosie... you're an innocent baddie. Goddess, even Cassie never got herself that deep in the tangle. How the hell did this happen?"I stare at her, half wishing the ground would swallow me whole.I needed help. Not a hype woman cheering me into a Hall of Shame."It just happened, and I need help... like, the kind that digs all the way down to the roots," I mutter, dropping the camera strap o

    ROSIEYou know when they say sanity returns after the deed is done? Yeah... it's hitting me like a strong surge right now.The scent of him still clings to my skin, my body still humming from everything we just did. Dominic's breathing slows, his gaze shifting from my flushed face to the mess we've made on the floor. He exhales, a softer note threading through the roughness of his voice."You're on pills, right?"I can't look him in the eye. "Yeah. I am. You... you don't have to worry about me."My cheeks heat, that secondhand embarrassment setting in as I snatch up my clothes from the scattered heap , shorts, shirt, panties, bra, all discarded on the floor like they never mattered.Goddess, help me.His voice comes again, quieter this time "You're going back to him?" Even though he tried to sound so casual, I'm not dumb, I caught the sad note embedded in each words.My spine stiffens. I don't want to talk about Ashton right now. I mean, we just broke up and I'm already getting screw

    ROSIEI'm hurt, like, genuinely hurt, despite the fact that I'm the one who actually walked out. You'd think leaving would give me the upper hand, right? Or maybe some kind of peace? Nope. It feels like someone is stabbing several blades into my chest at once, and each twist is sharper than the last.Who knew heartbreak felt like this? And what really messes me up isn't even the walking away, it's knowing he's hiding things from me. And instead of explaining, he's been acting like some psycho straight out of a dark romance novel, obsessive, unpredictable and watching me like I'm prey. I can't hold that. I can't bear that.I don't deserve this. I mean, honestly, who does? You wake up one morning thinking your best friend of eighteen years is just... your best friend. Someone who knows your secrets, your history, the way you take your coffee. Then you find out he's a full-blown psycho who gets some twisted joy out of hurting people. Like, surprise! Your childhood safety blanket is secre
