Kendra’s PoV

There was a small patch of dark, dried splatter on the floor when I walked into the Gladiators' locker room. A chill climbed up my back; I didn’t even want to imagine whether it had come from a human being or something else. Naturally, I hacked into my mask and got to work fast.

Industrial bleach washed the dirt away as I dragged a mop over the floors; pop music blared in my headphones, taking away some of the pressure lingering in my che

    Noah's PoV“Deal,” Kendra replied.It was hard to believe the first person I'd wake up to would be Kendra. My girl was here, and beneath her eyes were red patches, swollen with fatigue and stress. The pull from her shaky sobs a few hours ago tugged at my heart. For what it was worth, I'd seriously bring hell on anyone who dared to hurt her. I thought it would be done for good, but the idea of us being together like this wasn't part of the plan.I kissed her forehead. “Wait here while I throw something on the stove.”She crawled out of bed and stretched her arms. “I could use some coffee,” Kendra decided. “I hate being idle.”“Damn it, K, let me take care of you.”“I don't want to wait here alone.”Annoyed, I got to my feet and led her out of the bedroom and downstairs; sizzling eggs and coffee aroma greeted us. I pushed my tongue in my ch

Noah. I couldn’t contain the smile breaking across my lips, but upon turning around, I met the cold, stern face of Warden. The smile vanished instantly. I peeled my headphones down around my neck and tugged my mask down.Warden folded her arms. “Are you expecting someone, Drake?”My cheeks were warm, so I must be lighting up like a Christmas tree. “Besides you?”Unimpressed, she c

    Sophie’s PoVAs Devin Montoya rose from the couch across the room, I couldn’t help thinking how everything’s gone wrong with my life. Frankly, my life had been planned out from the moment my mother got my ultrasound printed out. Practice. Perfection. Success. All part of the Ryder grand scheme in the auto business. A business I had to take over some day.There’s just one thing that got in the way.My parents say I have the social skills of a shark, and those bloodthirsty predators don’t exactly make friends in the ocean.No time for small talk.They also spot an obstacle and go straight through it. I scanned his profile and felt a deep resentment lurching in my core. Even if said obstacle were tall, dark, and handsome.A reddish gash ripened on his cheek. I let out a breath of surprise. Typical. He was as Neanderthal as t

    Devin’s PoVThe stench of something dry and sweet dug its way into my nose the moment I punched in my locker combination and yanked the door open.About twenty semi- to completely nude guys casually bustled behind me, chattering and trading stories. Not a pleasant sight, but a small price to pay for the Gladiators. I should be having a great Monday afternoon.But I wasn't.My phone screen glowed bright before I could touch it. It was hot and constantly buzzing with new texts in my DMs. Most chicks are moaning about me being off the bachelor market.Blair384: Too bad; you were the hottest one.MiaCulpa: Is it weird that I find you even sexier now?TraceyVaughn8: I hate her.I tapped the screen twice, closing the display, and tossed the phone back into the locker compartment.

    Noah’s PoVI blacked out in bed the entire day until Alexa’s voice uttered through its speaker. “Reminder: Dinner with family. ASAP.”Flipping onto my stomach, the digital clock blinked 5:30, bright and mocking. My muscles were rubbery, but I thrust off the bed to get ready.It suddenly clicked with me.The Pierces lived right next door to us in our previous neighborhood. Their daughter had been an only child like I was, so we spent after school hours riding our bikes and playing videogames until our thumbs were numb.I picked out a grey shirt and denims, skipped sneakers for well-polished loafers, and then pulled on my leather jacket in front of the mirror.A memory slipped into my head, and I clenched my teeth. At twelve, I kissed her in my tree house under a dare, right before she stopped talking to me until we eventually moved away.

    Noah’s PoVOne of the best perks of the dorm was the spare room Kit and I converted into a gym. Sure, Templeton had a public gym, but some days, a man needed to punch bags and press bells with peace and quiet.“Dude, check out what’s trending on Instagram!”The heavy barbell lay steady in my hands as I pushed it up, breathing fast. Blood rushed into my face, and my lower body was on the verge of burning up.Morning workouts were practically my religion, which was currently being interrupted by Kit, barely lifting his dumbbells while the other hand tapped fast across his phone screen.I made a sharp, forceful grunt. “I’m not interested in some cat playing the vuvuzela.”Kit shot me a dry look. “Have you got something against cats playing instruments, Captain O’Shea?”&nb
