CALEB'S POV

My skin felt like it was being scorched from the inside out. Sweat beaded on my forehead, rolling down my neck and pooling in the hollow of my collarbone, but I couldn't cool down. Every breath I dragged into my burning lungs tasted like ash and liquid fire.

"It's hot," I whispered, the words barely escaping my cracked, dry lips. "God, it's so hot..."

Before I could even register the heavy, echoing thuds of boots slamming against the reinforced door outside, the room’s entrance spli

    EVANDER'S POVThe sheer audacity of him made my vision flash red...Just thinking about the fact that Lysander had been alone with Caleb all morning, breathing the same air, flashing that lazy, insufferable smile across a table just like this, fuck.. it felt like a physical blow to my chest. My alpha instinct was clawing at my ribs, howling for blood, ready to tear through the restaurant just to wipe that infuriating smirk off Lysander's face.I leaned in closer, my jaw locking so tight I thought my teeth might crack. "You broke our agreement, Lysander. You sat here, playing domestic with Caleb while I was sweating it out, thinking we were playing fair."Lysander didn't even blink. He didn't drop his gaze, nor did he offer a single ounce of remorse. Instead, he just let out a low, gravelly scoff, shaking his head. "Relax, Evander. Sometimes we break the bro code. It's not the end of the world."Sometimes we break the bro code... the casual dismissal of it, the absolute lack of shame,

    CALEB'S POVI slammed my menu down hard enough to rattle the water glasses, leaning across the table until we were only inches apart. "I am going to say this once, Lysander," I hissed, intentionally mocking the title he wore like a crown. "This is not a date. This is a hostage situation where I am buying you off so you stop breathing down my neck."Lysander didn't flinch. In fact, his smile only widened, those golden eyes practically glowing with amusement as he casually traced the rim of his water glass with a scarred thumb."If this is a hostage situation, sweetheart, you're treating your captor remarkably well," he murmured, his voice dropping into that low, dangerous register that made my traitorous pulse spike. "An alpha joint? You must really want me to stick around.""I want you to choke on a breadsticks," I fired back, though my retort lacked some of its venom. "Keep talking like that, and you'll be paying for your own pasta," I shot back, snapping my menu shut a little too fo

  • DEVEREUX'S SHARED OBSESSION    CHAPTER 162

    CALEB'S POVMy pulse was still hammering a furious, uneven rhythm against my ribs, echoing the residual static of the fight that had just rattled the gym floor.I could still feel the heavy imprint of Lysander’s hand burning through the fabric at my waist, a maddening anchor that kept me far too close to his infuriatingly solid chest.Every instinct I possessed... every primal survival trigger wired into my bones, screamed at me to shove him away, to put ten feet of concrete between us and run.But before I could violently twist out of his grip, the sharp, clinking sound of a broom hitting a locker cut through the thick tension.Louie was limping over, holding a bag of ice to his ribs with a wince, though his lips were stretched into a thoroughly obnoxious, knowing grin. He stopped a few paces away, eyeing the way Lysander was practically caging me in."Well," Louie cleared his throat, suppressing a laugh. "As much as I’m enjoying this gripping local theater production of Rescue Me, A

    LYSANDER'S POVThe heavy, suffocating scent of ozone and pent-up sweat hung thick in the gym, but beneath it all, my senses locked onto one particular trace of chaos... my Caleb.My heart did a traitorous, violent little thud against my ribs the moment I saw him backed into a corner, his chest heaving, hair plastered to his forehead with sweat, and a viciously defiant glare burning in his eyes.He looked magnificent, bruised, and dangerously reckless... entirely incapable of keeping his mouth shut, even when outgunned.Fuck, he’s going to get himself killed because of his stubborn personality.Yet, as I stepped past the shattered glass of the entrance, slipping my hands casually into the pockets of my tailored coat, I couldn't wipe the smirk off my face. The brute standing across from Caleb... some puffed-up Alpha with the temperament of a rabid dog, was trembling with pure, unadulterated fury."And who the fuck are you?" the lead Alpha snarled, turning his bloodshot eyes away from C

    CALEB'S POVThe next morning, I started my day as usual.After a quick breakfast, I changed into my jogging clothes and headed toward the nearby village complex.The morning air was refreshing, and the quiet streets were exactly what I needed after yesterday's chaos. I completed my usual jogging route that I used to take before heading to the gym for some light workouts.The moment I entered, I spotted a familiar face near the dumbbell section. "LOUIE!", I shouted. My best friend turned around. I need to apologize to him for what happened yesterday."Well, look who's finally here!" He teased before grinning like he used to do.I grinned and approached him. "Hey, buddy."He wiped his forehead with a towel before giving me a quick once-over. "Had a good night's sleep? You don't look like your future step family gave you stress last night""Fantastic. The best sleep I've had in days." I said grinning. It was the truth of course.He laughed.I scratched the back of my neck, suddenly remem

  • DEVEREUX'S SHARED OBSESSION    CHAPTER 159

    CALEB'S POVI was beginning to regret ever preparing a movie night.Not because I disliked watching movies. Quite the opposite. I loved them. Especially romantic movies, the kind that made you believe in grand gestures, unexpected confessions, and happily-ever-afters.Unfortunately, my three uninvited guests seemed determined to ruin the experience.Augustus sat on my right, looking far too comfortable on my sofa. Evander occupied the other side, while Lysander had practically claimed the remaining space. I was sandwiched between three Devereux men, all of whom apparently had forgotten what personal boundaries meant.I grabbed a handful of popcorn and focused on the television.The movie had barely reached its opening scenes when Evander let out an exaggerated sigh. "God, this is boring."I slowly turned my head toward him. "What?""Look at them." He pointed at the screen, where the male protagonist was tenderly holding his lover's hand. "Seriously? Holding hands? What are they, teena
