~Claire

The whole school had prolly gone to their various homes so the vast compound was extremely quiet and totally empty.

It made me wonder just how long we were in Jace's secret space. The cloud looked kinda dark though, so I was guessing maybe 6pm?

We walked side by side in silence till we reached the garage where his bike was kept. He got on it, throwing on his helmet but I stood still, rooted to the spot.

There was no way I was going to experience t

  • Her Stepbrother's Obsession: His Kitten   80

    Jace’s POVThe silence in the car ride home was heavy, thick with the unspoken trauma of the day. Claire was curled up against the window, her gaze fixed on the blur of the passing scenery, but I knew she wasn’t really seeing anything. Shawty, sitting beside her, was equally lost in her own thoughts, the weight of her unwitting involvement still etched on her face. I dropped Shawty off at her place, a brief, awkward goodbye exchanged before she disappeared inside.Our house was quiet when we finally walked in, the familiar sounds of life absent. No TV blaring, no clatter of dishes, no Dad’s booming laugh echoing through the halls. Just an unsettling stillness.I led Claire upstairs to my room. The familiar comfort of my space felt strangely alien after the events of the day. We moved in a daze, shedding our clothes and taking separate, silent showers, the warm water doing little to wash away the lingering chill of fear.Back in

    Claire’s POVThe words hung in the air, sharp and cruel, each one a fresh stab wound. Zara. Sweet, funny, unassuming Zara. The girl I’d shared genuine smiles and laughs with in class, the one who had seemed to be so carefree about everything. The one who just wanted nothing but to have fun. The one who cared about everybody. And now, I find out she was nothing of what I thought her to be.She was the one who had wanted me gone. She was the one who had locked me in that suffocating cold, my last breaths misting in the frigid air. The betrayal was a physical ache, a gaping hole tearing through the fragile sense of safety I had tried to rebuild.“Red…” The name escaped my lips, a choked whisper. “Did you… did you never even care about him?” The thought of Red, his goofy grin, his unwavering affection, being led on by Zara who probably felt nothing for him. I tried piecing two and two together. If she was this obsessed w

  • Her Stepbrother's Obsession: His Kitten   78

    Jace's POV I couldn't help but think long and hard about what Shawty said. Goldie? Come back? It didn't make sense. Nothing did. Because I vividly remembered that night. I'd begged her to see to reasons. I tried explaining that I didn't mean to violate her the way I did. I tried to. And then she also knew how attached to her I was. Life was barely worth living without her. But I doubt she even cared because she left anyways. She disappeared without looking back. And now....now when I'd succeeded in completely forgetting her, she's got eyes on me because she was going to come back?How absurd could it sound?Goldie… she was a ghost to me now, a phantom limb that sometimes throbbed with a phantom pain. Sage saw her as some tragic figure, and maybe she was. But my memories of her were a tangled mess of intense love and a betrayal that had shattered something fundamental within me.Claire… Claire was

    Claire’s POVThe pieces were starting to fall into place, though the image they formed was still blurry and unsettling. Shawty’s initial defensiveness had crumbled, replaced by a look of genuine shock and then dawning realization as she recounted the events of that night at the camp.“It was after dinner,” she began, her voice softer now, the earlier edge completely gone. “Everyone was milling around, some by the bonfire, others just chatting. I felt a bit claustrophobic in the tent, so I went out for some air. That’s when Zara approached me.”I remembered Zara. Quiet, kept to herself mostly. I hadn’t interacted with her much, but she always seemed…harmless.“She looked upset,” Shawty continued, her brow furrowed in concentration as she tried to recall every detail. “Her eyes were red, like she’d been crying. She said her phone had run out of credit and she desperately needed to call her mum. Something about a family issue, I think. She sounded re

    Claire’s POVWarmth. That was the first thing I registered.A stark contrast to the unbearable cold I had endured. My body felt heavy, but there was comfort—something solid, something warm wrapped around me. Slowly, I peeled my eyes open, and it took me a moment to realize where I was.Jace’s arms were around me, holding me close like he was afraid I’d disappear if he let go. His slow, steady breaths tickled the top of my head, his chest rising and falling against my back. The room was dimly lit, the faint glow of morning struggling to seep through the curtains.I blinked up at the ceiling, my mind stirring as memories flooded in.The coldroom.A shiver ran through me—not from the temperature, but from the raw memory of it. My body tensed slightly as I was dragged back into that moment.---FlashbackThe cold was merciless.It crawled through my skin, seeped into my bones, and made it

    JaceThe trip was over.Not just for Claire. Not just for me. For everyone.Because of what happened, the school had no choice but to send us all home. No hiking, no more campfires, no more pretending this was some fun little adventure. The mood was grim as we packed up, the energy of the entire camp completely drained. The teachers moved stiffly, speaking in hushed voices. The students were still whispering about what happened. Some were just relieved to be going home, while others—especially those from the rival school—looked pissed that the trip had been ruined.But I didn’t give a damn about any of them.Claire was half-conscious, barely responding as I helped her onto the bus. Her body still felt too cold, her skin too pale. Every time I looked at her, I felt like punching something. This shouldn’t have happened. I should’ve protected her.I sat beside her the entire ride back, making sure she was okay. She leaned against th

    The morning air was crisp, the sun just peeking over the horizon as I reluctantly got out of bed. Today was the day. My first day at Goldenrod High, a school notorious for its social hierarchy and cutthroat reputation.Well, yeah. I did my research. There was no bloody way I was gonna at

    ~ClaireThe atmosphere at dinner was totally suffocating. It was nothing near what it used to be back at home. Even when mum and dad had their fights, our meals together were always magical — in my term at least. But this? It felt as though it was the start of some sort of horr

    ~Jace"Seriously, bro. I still can't believe he went ahead with bringing them in," Jaxon spoke in disbelief, chewing on his chips. "I knew he was going to push through with it. When has Rowan ever gone back on his words?" Nyx commented with a scoff. I remained mute, staring into space as a millio

    ~Claire"Yes, Dad. I'll make sure to be careful around here,"I replied in my baby-ish tone. "I just can't help but be worried. It's the first time in years since you'll be away from me for so long,"he spoke with a sigh. I understood him perfectly. It was hard for me too. I missed him so much alre
