LOGINGhost POV
Eight months later and I swear my life doesn’t even look like my life anymore. I used to wake up with blood on my hands, blades in my pockets, and engines roaring in my ears. Now? Now I wake up with three screaming little demons that sound like they’re auditioning for a fucking horror movie.
And here I am, walking into the clubhouse with all three of them dangling from my fist
Siren POV“Our parents weren’t the best,” Echo begins, voice low and measured, as though every word is a landmine he has to step around. “They took a lot of drugs. I was abandoned, literally left in an alley when I was three. I spent the rest of my childhood in care.”“Echo, just tell me,” I interrupt, exhaustion and anger bleeding into every syllable.“I am telling you,” he answers, eyes still locked on the floor. “But I need you to hear everything first.”I look away again, arms folded tight across my chest. If he thinks a traumatic childhood is going to excuse murder, he’s got another thing coming.“I was five when I started seeing my real mother again,” he continues, voice steady but laced with something raw. “She swore she was trying to get clean, but s
Davina/Siren POVShe’s already behind Echo, clinging to his arm, sobbing like a fucking Oscar contender.“She just went crazy!” Star wails, smearing blood across her cheek for dramatic effect. “She started hitting me, screaming that if I don’t leave she’ll kill me, that she’ll make sure every woman here stays away from you!”“What?” I bark, stepping forward.Echo looks from her to me, then back again his face unreadable. “Did it hurt?” he asks, voice calm.She nods, fake tears streaming. “Yes—”“Good,” he cuts in, ice-cold. “Now get your fucking hands off me.”“Echo—”“Don’t Echo me,” he roars, shaking her off like she’s diseased. “You think
Siren’s POVThe doctor leaves with her final warning ringing in my ears, no sex, no intercourse, no penetration, nothing like that for five days until the stitches have healed. I sit on the edge of the bed long after the door clicks shut, knees pulled to my chest, blanket clutched like a shield.I want to go out, want to see Vesper, Red, the others, but the thought alone makes my stomach knot. They all know about Echo’s punishment by now. They all know I’m the reason he bled. I should have refused him that night. Should have pushed him away. If I’d just said no, he wouldn’t have taken those fists for me.I stand, legs shaky, and decide to find him. I need to ask what my punishment is, because it wasn’t just him who broke the rules.I reach the door the exact second it swings open and star walks in.
Echo’s POVThe doctor should be here soon, so she needs to get up, get dressed, and get herself sorted. I should probably shower too; I still smell like blood and bad decisions.“You should get up,” I tell her, voice rough from sleep. “The doctor will likely be here soon.”I start to pull away, but her hand clamps on my arm like a vice.“You got hurt?” She grips my jaw, turning my face side to side, eyes widening as she takes in the bruises, the split lip, the cuts across my knuckles. Panic flares in her gaze. “This is my fault. James did this because of me.”My eyes widen. “James didn’t get a chance to lay a finger on me. This isn’t on you.”“Then why?” Her fingers trace the dark bloom across my ribs, feather-light and sha
Siren’s POVAll I wanted was to feel safe again, but somehow I made everything worse.I keep replaying it in my head: the way he recoiled, the way he couldn’t even look at me when I reached for him. One half of me wants to believe he pulled away because he was trying to protect me, because he thought I needed space. The other half, the louder half, whispers that it’s because someone else touched me. That James left something filthy on my skin, inside me, and now Echo can’t stand the sight of it.Dirty, used and ruined.I stand under the shower until the water runs cold, then turn it hotter again. The loofah is long gone; I’m using my nails now, raking them over my throat, my breasts, the insides of my thighs , anywhere he put his hands, his mouth, himself. I scrub until my skin is angry red, until it stings with eve
Echo’s POVI sit in the chair across the room and watch her sleep, counting every slow rise and fall of her chest like it’s the only thing keeping me from tearing the walls down. We’ve been back maybe an hour, no more, and she’s curled on my bed under my blanket, bruises blooming across her skin like storm clouds. I haven’t moved closer. I don’t trust myself yet.I’m furious with her.Not for what happened, none of that is her fault, but for the fact she walked straight into the dark without once stopping to ask if it was really me. She saw a username and a pinned location and she went. No call. No text. No “Echo, is this you?” She just went.If she had paused for even a second she would have realised I’d never hide behind some fake handle. If I was going to break the rules and watch her, I’d do it loud and proud with my real name flashing for t
Vesper POVFinally, he eases me back to my feet, his hands steadying me when my legs wobble. He tucks himself away, then helps me pull my trousers back up, his fingers lingering on my hips like he’s not ready to let go.I slip back on my boots, an
Ghost POVI’d have left the bikes. They aren’t important. At least, I never thought they were. But the way she refused to leave hers behind tells me she’s holding something back. There’s more to it, something she’s not tell
Ghost POVThe release hits hard. My hips slam forward, burying me deep, and I hold her there while I spill down her throat. Her swallow is slow, deliberate, exactly like I told her. I keep her there until the last pulse fades, then finally let her pull back enough to breathe
Vesper POVTitan’s breath is ragged, his grin lopsided and blood-specked, but he’s the one who finally steps back. He laughs like the whole thing was a fucking game and not a fight that could’ve gone sideways real fast.
