LUCIEN VOLKARIS POINT OF VIEW

The silence that followed Caidy’s retreat felt heavier than it should have. I stared at the door after it slammed shut, my jaw tight as the image of her face flashed through my mind.

I forced myself to look away.

I hadn’t meant for her to hear that. At least, not like that. I had wanted to make my point, not watch her fall apart in front of us. But I meant every word. Caidy was dangerous. She had hurt us before, and I refused to forget that simply because she had s

    LUCIEN VOLKARIS POINT OF VIEW "Step back, Malakai," My voice came out low enough that the entire room went quiet. I didn't raise it, but I didn't need to. Something in my tone made even Malakai pause, his eyes narrowing as he looked at me. The anger under my skin had become something heavier, darker, and far harder to control. Malakai turned toward me. "Lucien—" "Move." He stared at me for a long moment. His eyes dropped to my fangs, then returned to my face. Whatever argument he had been ready to make died before it reached his mouth. He finally stepped aside, but his expression warned me that he didn't like it. I walked toward Caidy without taking my eyes off her. She watched me approach with wide, uncertain eyes, and something about that look made my pulse kick harder. She had spent so much time looking at me with anger and defiance that seeing fear in her eyes felt almost intimate. I shouldn't have liked it. But I did. My anger still burning beneath my skin, but I couldn'

    LUCIEN VOLKARIS POINT OF VIEW It grated on my nerves watching Malakai hover over Caidy like some damn guard dog. Every time his hand touched her shoulder or his voice softened when he spoke to her, something ugly twisted inside my gut. I told myself it was irritation. It had to be. I had spent years hating this woman, and I refused to let one moment of weakness change that. She had hurt us before, and I wasn't stupid enough to forget it just because she looked helpless now. Then I saw something move beneath her skin, and every thought in my head stopped. Sylas knelt beside her with his hands glowing pale white as he pushed his healing magic into her body. The moment the magic touched her skin, it vanished. Caidy jerked against the bed and sucked in a sharp breath, her fingers clawing into the fabric as another wave of pain tore through her. "Fuck," Sylas muttered under his breath. He tried again, but the result was the same. His magic broke apart before it could even reach the wou

    CAIDY ELLIS POINT OF VIEWThe agony did not just hurt. It tore through me until I could barely breathe, and every nerve in my body screamed at once. My back felt like someone had poured molten fire down my spine, while a sharp, unbearable pain spread through my arms, legs, and chest. I tried to move, tried to curl into myself to escape it, but even the smallest movement sent another violent wave through me. I was awake—gods, I was painfully awake—but my voice felt trapped somewhere deep inside my chest. I opened my mouth more than once, desperate to scream, yet nothing came out except broken breaths. I could feel them before I saw them. The five brothers were close, their presence surrounding the bed, but I could not bring myself to open my eyes. I was too exhausted, too terrified that if I looked at them, they would see how completely helpless I had become. My body shook beneath the sheets, and I pressed my lips together as another wave of pain ripped through me. It was getting wors

    LUCIEN VOLKARIS POINT OF VIEW Knoxx let out a quiet laugh behind me as he gawked towards my snake and Caidy. “Apparently, he likes her.” “Apparently, he's lost his damn mind.” “I think he's choosing his side,” Knoxx said. I shot him a look. “Don't start.” Then, I look towards my snake. I scoffed. “Fucking traitor.” Sylas ignored us and moved toward the bed. His attention stayed on Caidy as he reached down and shook her shoulder. “Caidy. Wake up.” She didn't move. Sylas frowned and shook her again, harder this time. “Caidy.” Nothing. The sight made something uneasy settle in my stomach. She wasn't pretending. At least, if she was, she was damn good at it. Malakai stepped forward, his patience finally gone. “I've had enough of this.” He grabbed the edge of the blanket and yanked it back. The air left my lungs. For a second, I couldn't move. My eyes went straight to Caidy, and every thought in my head disappeared. All five of us went dead still, our breathing locking in our

    LUCIEN VOLKARIS POINT OF VIEW The sharp pain at the base of my nape snapped me awake. For a few seconds, I lay there trying to make sense of it. My first thought went to Eli, my pet python. Knowing that damn snake, I figured he had somehow escaped his cage and decided my neck looked like a good place to sink his teeth into. I glanced over the side of the bed and found him exactly where he should have been, curled beneath the frame and completely asleep. I brushed the thought aside as soon as it came. Eli was disciplined. He was trained better than most men I had dealt with, and he knew better than to attack me. “Fuck,” I muttered. I dragged a palm over my face before rubbing the burning skin at the back of my neck. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to force myself back to sleep, but the pain only grew worse. The throbbing turned into a white-hot burn that spread beneath my skin until it became impossible to ignore. It felt like someone had pressed a branding iron against my flesh

    CAIDY ELLIS POINT OF VIEW“Defective.”The word stayed in my head long after Lucien said it. It hurt more than I wanted to admit, mostly because some part of me already believed it. I had spent years hearing that I was a disappointment, a disgrace, a problem that needed to be fixed. So when Lucien threw that word at me, it did not feel like an insult. It felt like confirmation of everything I had already believed about myself.I slid down against the door and pulled my knees to my chest. My eyes burned, but I refused to cry. I had cried enough in my life, and I was tired of letting other people see how easily their words could break me. If they wanted to hate me, then fine. I would let them. Maybe it was easier that way than expecting something from people who had every reason to want nothing to do with me.Maybe they were right about me. Everything between our houses had been ruined long before I arrived at the Volkaris estate, and I had made choices that gave them more than enough r
