CALEB'S POV

The rest of the day crawled by with an almost uncanny smoothness. My classes were uneventful, the professors were unusually lenient, and even the air in the hallways felt less suffocating than it had that morning.

"Goodbye, class!" Professor Lorney said.

After the standoff in the locker room, I had braced myself for retaliation... a tripped foot, a spilled drink, a public humiliation, but nothing came. It was as if Evander and Lysander had collectively decided to pause their favorit

  • DEVEREUX'S SHARED OBSESSION    CHAPTER 69

    EVANDER'S POVI pulled back slowly, dragging my lower lip against his just enough to leave him breathless, though his chest was still heaving against the ropes.Caleb’s eyes were bloodshot, pupils blown wide, glaring up at me with enough pure, unfiltered venom to melt steel. If looks could truly kill, Lysander and I would have been ash a dozen times over.I let out a low, amused hum, tracing the sharp angle of his jaw with the back of my knuckles. "Stop glaring, little alpha. You'll strain something, and we need you pliable.""I am going to castrate both of you with a rusty garden trowel," Caleb spat, his voice dropping into a harsh, trembling growl that only made the blood rush hotter to my groin."Ooh, feisty," I murmured, leaning down to press one last, lingering kiss to his burning cheek before straightening up. "Keep that fire. You're going to need it."I turned my back on his sputtering protests, pulling a heavy-duty pocket knife from my slacks and flicking it open with a sharp

  • DEVEREUX'S SHARED OBSESSION    CHAPTER 68

    CALEB'S POV The words hit my brain with the force of a freight train. Stepbrother. The sheer absurdity of it temporarily short-circuited my anger, leaving me staring at Evander like he had grown a second head. My jaw slackened, and for a split second, the frantic tug-of-war inside my chest paused. "Are you completely out of your cotton-picking minds?" I finally blurted out, the absurdity slicing right through the suffocating tension. I threw my weight against the ropes again, though it was entirely useless. "Victoria is marrying your father next month! We are going to be... legally speaking, family! What kind of sick, twisted, backwoods Alabama fantasy are you two cooking up right now?!" Lysander didn't even blink. He let out a low, dark chuckle that vibrated right through the mattress, his thumb tracing the curve of my cheekbone with a maddeningly gentle possessiveness. "Technically," Lysander murmured, his voice laced with a dangerous sort of amusement, "we share no blood. And

  • DEVEREUX'S SHARED OBSESSION    CHAPTER 67

    CALEB'S POVThe sharp sting of the hemp biting into my wrists was nothing compared to the white-hot rage roaring behind my temples. Tied up like a prized animal on a king-sized mattress in a fortress built by these two fucking lunatics... this wasn't just kidnapping... it was a psychological break and I was the fucking casualty.I planted my booted feet against the edge of the mattress and shoved upward with everything I had, trying to kick Lysander right in his arrogant chest. He didn't even flinch. He just caught my ankles mid-air with one massive, firm hand, his grip like a vice clamping down on bone."Stop thrashing, Caleb," Lysander rumbled, his voice a low, vibrating growl that vibrated straight through the soles of my feet. "You’re only making it harder on yourself. And trust me, you don't want to test how much more rough we can get.""Go to fucking hell!" I snarled, straining against the ropes until my muscles screamed. I jerked my head back up, locking eyes with Evander, who

  • DEVEREUX'S SHARED OBSESSION    CHAPTER 66

    EVANDER'S POVMy blood was practically boiling from anger, a roaring tide that drowned out every rational thought in my head.Fuck, I didn't even know why I was acting like this. Rationality had packed its bags and abandoned me the exact second Alpha Horton’s thick, arrogant voice suggested that his daughter, Chloe, should date Caleb."Fucking No!" My instincts say. A primal, feral fury had ignited in my chest, I wanted to punch everyone. I wanted to smash Alpha Horton’s smug teeth down his throat, I wanted to throttle my own father for even entertaining the circus, and, God help me, I wanted to shake Caleb until his teeth rattled for breathing the same air as another potential suitor.To derail the nightmare before it took root, I had blurted out the first weapon at hand... Caleb has a boyfriend.It was a desperate, ugly card to play, but desperate times called for absolute madness. Because the cold, hard truth that kept me awake at night... the truth Lysander and I shared like a da

  • DEVEREUX'S SHARED OBSESSION    CHAPTER 65

    CALEB'S POVThe heavy, suffocating silence that followed Evander’s words could have been sliced with a butter knife. Every eye on the green was pinned directly on me, waiting to see how I’d crawl out of the trap they had so neatly laid.Chloe tilted her head, her sharp, intelligent eyes darting from the seething Devereuxs back to me. She clearly sensed the sudden, and her curiosity was visibly piqued.Leaning in close, she lowered her voice so only I could hear. "Do you really have a boyfriend, Caleb?" she asked, a teasing arch to her perfectly sculpted brow.I offered her a tight, polite smile, leaning in just as close. "I do," I whispered back, pitching my voice so low it barely registered over the ambient hum of the country club. "Though, if we’re being completely honest, it’s just a fake arrangement to spite Evander and Lysander."Chloe’s eyes went wide, a genuine look of shock flashing across her face. Then, as the absurdity of it registered, a wicked, knowing grin spread across

  • DEVEREUX'S SHARED OBSESSION    CHAPTER 64

    CALEB'S POVHonestly, watching Augustus Devereux, his two miniature gods of sons... Evander and Lysander and Alpha Horton play golf was about as thrilling as watching paint peel in real-time.Rich, powerful men swinging expensive sticks at tiny white balls while trying to flex their dominance over one another? Hard pass.So, I had happily peeled away from the oppressive, suffocating atmosphere of the VIP lounge where my stepmother, Victoria, was probably busy plotting her social ascension.I found a sanctuary under the sprawling, lush green canopy of an ancient oak tree beside the golf course, far enough to escape their suffocating auras, yet close enough to stay out of trouble or so I thought.I was currently squatting in the grass, utterly fascinated by a fat, industrious little bee buzzing frantically around a wild yellow blossom, when a shadow fell over me."You look far too peaceful for a gathering this intensely boring," a crisp, melodious voice chimed in.I blinked, looking up
