EPILOGUE

JACE

I WENT. DIDN’T know why.

Maybe it was the way Andrei looked at me when he handed over the stupid invitation, like he didn’t expect me to say yes. Maybe it was the way he didn’t ask, just slid it across the table with a grunt and poured his coffee like he hadn’t just invited the guy who once drugged the groom.

Or maybe I just wanted to see if I still flinched.

The venue wasn’t some fancy cathedral or five-star hotel. Just a quiet place outside the city, soft music playing, chairs lined up on stone. Snow covered everything in that too-perfect way—like someone had spray-painted it white and told the world to behave for one day.

Andrei’s hand sat steady against my lower back as we walked in. He didn’t say anything. Didn’t have to.

People were scattered, not many. Family. Friends. The ones who made it out alive. I didn’t know most of them. Didn’t need to. They looked at me like I was an accessory—black suit, crooked smile, probably trouble. Fine. They weren’t wrong.

    ~ONE YEAR LATER~ANDERISNOW FELL IN heavy, slow drifts as I lit a cigarette outside the compound gates. The cold bit at my skin, the smoke curling from my lips like fragile frost in the gray morning air. Security cameras blinked red above me, glass eyes catching the dull sky, watching everything that moved inside. Guns. Orders. Loyalty. It was supposed to feel like home.It didn’t.I crushed the cigarette beneath my boot and stepped inside. My boots were soaked, gloves cold, but I didn’t care. I didn’t knock when I reached Nikolai’s door. It opened under my hand like it always did.He sat behind his desk — sleeves rolled up, dark shirt, scar peeking from beneath the collar. His eyes met mine, but there was no anger. No irritation.Only a smile.That was the first sign something was wrong.I’ve got something for you,” he said, voice calm as if it were nothing.I pushed back my hair with a sigh. “Another body?”“Not this time.”He poured whiskey into a heavy glass. The crystal clinked

    JACEI COULD STILL taste blood—his or mine, I didn’t know. Didn’t care.Andrei’s grip on my jacket didn’t loosen. He didn’t say a word, didn’t let me breathe, didn’t look at me like a man should. He dragged me.Out of the alley. Across the street. Into the mess of traffic and neon and people who didn’t care about the bruise on my jaw or the dried blood on his shirt.He didn’t say a word.I didn’t ask him to.The hotel wasn’t far. Some faceless place with mirrors in the elevator and the kind of wallpaper that peeled at the edges. I kept my head down. My hands in my pockets as I followed.Room 712. His key card clicked. The door opened and walked in. I didn’t hesitate.I didn’t need to ask why.The door shut behind me like a trap. The room smelled faintly of cigarettes and leather and sweat. Like him.We didn’t speak.Not until I leaned against the dresser and pulled off my hoodie, slowly. His shirt was still underneath it. Washed too many times that threads began pulling near the seams

    ANDREITHEY PUSHED NIKOLAI past me on a gurney, and for the first time in a decade, I didn’t move. Didn’t bark orders. Didn’t clear the hall. Didn’t follow.Just stood there.Blood soaked through his shirt, staining the linen deep red. The side of his gut was wrapped in gauze already, but I could still see the pulsing dark spot where it bled through. His hand twitched once.And then nothing.They shoved through the steel doors. Claude collapsed to the floor like something broken. And me?I just stared.My fingers curled into fists, nails biting into skin. The rage was still there. Clawing. Coiled around my ribs like wire, too tight to breathe.He wasn’t supposed to bleed for anyone.That wasn’t Nikolai. Not the man who taught me silence was survival. That blood was power. That weakness had a price and it was always steep.And now he lay on a fucking table because he couldn’t stop loving someone who made him vulnerable.And maybe, maybe I was screaming at Claude because I saw it too cl

    JACEFOUR MONTHS AGOThe morning light slid in through the slats like it didn’t know better. Soft and gold and too clean for the shit I was about to do.He was still asleep beside me, breathing deep and steady. The kind of sleep people have when they don’t expect to be disappointed. When they don’t expect you to be gone.I didn’t move at first. Just laid there, watching him in the silence. His face in profile, his lips parted, that scar curving over his shoulder and into his tattoos like a line someone else had drawn. I hated that I liked the way he looked in sleep. Hated that I’d memorized it.Then I shifted, slowly and carefully, easing out from under the blanket like I hadn’t just spent the night wrapped up in him. My feet hit the tile, cold as always. The air in his apartment never warmed, not even after. It stayed sharp, clinical, clean. Like him.The room still smelled like us. Like sweat, cigarettes, the sex neither of us admitted to wanting. It clung to my skin, soaked into th

    ANDERI THE APARTMENT WAS silent except for the faint sound of my boots on the floor. No music, no chatter, just that heavy quiet that made the air thick and hard to breathe. I didn’t bother looking around. The bedroom door was cracked open, pale light spilling out like a lure. There, sprawled across the bed in my shirt again, was Jace. One sleeve rolled up, the shirt hanging off his shoulder just right—careless but damn sexy as hell. His eyes caught mine and that cocky smirk twisted his mouth. “Took your sweet time,” he said, voice low and sharp. “Thought you were not coming home.” Fuck that smirk. I shut the door and closed the distance, not wasting a second. His lips slammed against mine, rough and quick like he needed to prove something. I grabbed the collar of his shirt, yanking him closer, biting his lip hard enough to taste blood. His hands slid under my shirt, fingers dragging across my skin, fire igniting everywhere. I peeled his shirt off slow, memorizing every i
