Jace’s POV

I was fucking obsessed.

The worst part? I wasn’t even trying to stop myself.

I should have hated that last night happened. I should have regretted every second of it. But I didn’t. Not even a little.

Instead, I hated that I had to send her home.

After making sure she was taken care of—after spending time worshiping every inch of her, soothing her soreness, massaging her legs, making sure she could at least walk—I had finally let her go h

    Jace’s POVThe bus rattled along the road, the soft hum of the engine mixing with the low chatter of students. I sat stiffly, arms crossed, gaze locked on the window, counting down the hours until this trip was over.Beside me, Whitney shifted in her seat. I could feel her eyes on me, the way she kept glancing, waiting, expecting something. When she realized she wasn’t getting it, she huffed under her breath.Typical.I ignored her, keeping my focus on the passing scenery.Another minute passed. Then another.She snapped.“Are you seriously not going to say anything?” she demanded, her voice just above a whisper but laced with frustration.I barely blinked. “About what?”She let out a sharp breath like she couldn’t believe I had the audacity to ask that. “Are you really that heartless, Jace? You don’t think you owe me an apology?”I finally turned my head, meeting her glare with a bored express

    Claire's POVThe morning air was crisp, a soft chill seeping into my bones as I swung my feet out of bed. I sat there for a second, rubbing my face, still cocooned in the lingering warmth of sleep. I didn’t want to get up. I didn’t want today to start. But it had to.I sighed and pushed myself to my feet, stretching my arms above my head before getting to work. My suitcase sat half-packed in the corner, my laziness from the night before biting me now. I crouched in front of it, folding the last of my clothes and stuffing them in before zipping it shut.The weight of the trip settled heavier in my chest.I did the things a lady needed to do in the morning and after that, I grabbed my luggage handle and stepped out, rolling it behind me as I stopped in front of Jace’s door. A frown tugged at my lips as I knocked."Jace, let’s go," I called, leaning my forehead against the wood for a second, still groggy.No answer.I

    Claire’s POVThe dim glow of the TV flickered across the living room, casting soft shadows against the walls. The air smelled faintly of strawberries—Jace’s snack from earlier—and the faint hum of the air conditioner filled the quiet space between us.I was curled up against him, my head resting against his chest, his arm draped lazily around my waist. His fingers traced absentminded circles on my hip, a mindless habit of his, while his attention remained fixed on the screen. The movie playing was some psychological thriller he’d chosen, something intense, filled with subtle mind games and unpredictable turns. Normally, I would have been invested, but right now, my mind was elsewhere.I shifted slightly, tilting my head up to look at him. “Jace?”His fingers stilled for a brief second before resuming their slow movements. “Hmm?”I hesitated, my teeth grazing my bottom lip. “Can I ask you something?”He didn’t look away from the s

    Jace’s POVAfter Claire left for class, I stayed back in the basement for a moment, letting the silence settle around me. My mind was running in too many directions, and none of them were leading to an answer.But I knew one thing—whoever was behind this was smart. Smart enough to cover their tracks completely. And if I was going to catch them, I needed to start eliminating suspects.Which was exactly why I called Nyx.I leaned against the cold steel counter of the school’s lab, arms crossed, waiting. It didn’t take long before she sauntered in, her expression amused, her usual cocky smirk already in place.The moment she stepped inside, I moved.I pushed her against the wall, not hard enough to hurt, but enough to send a message.Nyx, being Nyx, only smirked wider.“Oh?” she teased, tilting her head. "Didn’t think you’d be this eager, Jace. Kinda hot, not gonna lie."I clenched my jaw.“Stop p

    Claire’s POVThe halls were buzzing with talks about the trip.Everywhere I turned, students were either excitedly discussing what to pack, predicting which teachers would be supervising, or trying to figure out how they made the cut. It was as if the whole school had suddenly been jolted awake with new energy.I found my friends by the lockers, already deep in conversation. Sage was the first to spot me, waving a hand dramatically."Well, well, well. Look who decided to grace us with her presence," he teased, running a hand through his dark curls.I rolled my eyes. "I was literally gone for ten minutes."Had to take some alone time in the lab so I could at least breathe amist it all. "Yeah, and that’s ten minutes of premium gossip time wasted." Shawty grinned. "Now spill—how do you feel about being one of the chosen ones?"I sighed, leaning against the lockers. "I mean, it’s just a field trip, right? Nothing t

    Claire’s POVI paced the length of the dimly lit basement, my heart hammering against my ribs. The cold air clung to my skin, but the chill I felt wasn’t from the room—it was from the video. From the words attached to it.He’s mine.And I’ll destroy you.The memory of it made my stomach twist.Who the hell sent that text? How did they get their hands on a tape that wasn't even supposed to exist? Because I vividly remembered Shawty saying that there shouldn't be any CCTVs at the hotel so everyone could be free to do whatever. The people in charge had to shut down whatever security cameras before the party even started. So what? How?Jace stood a few feet away, back against the old wooden table, phone in his hand. He hadn’t spoken much since I showed him the messages. He just stared at the screen, his fingers gripping the phone so tightly his knuckles turned white.His eyes.They weren’t his usual teasing, smug, o

    ~NarratorThe air was thick with music, laughter, and the scent of alcohol-soaked fun. Red and blue neon lights flickered across the packed club as bodies swayed to the bass-heavy beat. In the center of it all, Claire sat at the drinking table, her lips curled into a confident smirk as s

    CLAIRE I’d been dolled up before, certainly. Makeup, hair, and the likes. But never like this. Never in a way that made me look at myself and blink twice, wondering if the girl staring back was actually me. The mirror reflected someone… diff

    CLAIREI woke up feeling… warm. Safe.That should’ve been my first warning....i think. The second was the scent—spice, weed, and something distinctly him invading my senses, intoxicating me before I could even open my eyes.I blinked, and the dim light from th

    JACEI should’ve left the second I saw what she was drawing.Should’ve turned around, walked the fuck away, and never looked back.But I didn’t.Instead, I kissed her. Hard. Took what I wanted, let myself drown in the way she clung to me, the way her nails dug
