Masked Desire Chapter 59
Jason doesn't move.The shadow outside his door lingers, motionless, too still to be a passerby. For a heartbeat, he forgets how to breathe. His hand remains frozen on the door lock. The shape doesn't shift like someone walking past. It stays there, deliberate and patient. *They know I'm here.*Then, as if whoever it is senses he's on the other side, the shadow moves—but not away. It stays. Jason slowly retreats from the door, every instinct screaming at him that something is wrong. His bare feet make no sound on the cold floor. He backs toward his bed, never taking his eyes off that thin line of light at the bottom of the door.The shadow shifts slightly. A small movement, like someone adjusting their weight. Waiting.Jason's heart pounds so loud he's sure they can hear it through the door. His throat feels tight. The bond in his chest thrums with anxiety, making his skin crawl with restless energy.Minutes pass. Maybe five, maybe ten. Time stretches until Jason loses track of how l
Masked Desire Chapter 58
Jason doesn't sleep that night.He lies still on his back, eyes fixed on the ceiling where shadows shift with the wind outside his window. The weight of everything presses down on his chest like a physical thing. Ivan's touch still lingers on his skin, phantom warmth that shouldn't feel so real hours later. Avalon's words keep echoing in his head, cutting through any attempt at peace. And somewhere in the drawer across the room, the scent blocker sits hidden like a ticking bomb waiting to explode his carefully constructed world.His skin hums in strange places. Along his wrist where Ivan's fingers had brushed. At his shoulder where their contact had lasted a second too long. It's like a phantom memory of contact he shouldn't want, shouldn't crave, shouldn't be thinking about at all.The bond used to be just a whisper under his skin, easily ignored most days. Now it's a drumbeat. Constant, loud, impossible to silence. Every heartbeat seems to match its rhythm, and Jason presses his pal
Masked Desire CHAPTER 57
Jason woke slowly, consciousness returning in fragments. His head felt heavy, like it was filled with cotton, and his body ached in ways that suggested he'd been dropped from a considerable height. His skin was clammy, sticky with dried sweat, but the fever haze that had been clouding his thoughts for days had finally broken.The first thing he noticed was the ceiling above him. It wasn't his. The second was the weight of a gaze pressing down on him like a physical thing.He turned his head, movement sluggish and deliberate, and saw Ivan across the room. He was seated in a chair, arms crossed over his chest, eyes fixed on Jason with an expression that gave nothing away. How long had he been sitting there? How long had Jason been unconscious?Jason's heart jumped, a stuttering rhythm that made his chest tight. His throat felt like sandpaper when he tried to swallow. He didn't ask how he'd gotten here—didn't need to. The truth flickered behind his eyes in scattered images. Ivan catching
Masked Desire CHAPTER 56
Jason went down hard.Ivan saw it happening before the others did—the way Jason's knees buckled, the way his eyes rolled back slightly as his body finally gave up the fight it had been waging all day. Maybe all week. The others hesitated for a crucial second. Kaelen tensed but didn't move. Avalon looked torn between stepping forward and maintaining the distance the Council observer's presence demanded.Ivan moved before thought could stop him.He dropped to his knees beside Jason, catching the back of his head just before it could crack against the training room floor. The impact would have been ugly. Jason's skin was burning up under Ivan's palm, fever radiating through him like he was on fire from the inside out."Shit," Ivan muttered under his breath.Chaos erupted around them. The instructor was shouting for medical assistance, his voice echoing off the walls of the combat wing. The Council observer was calling for a runner, her tone sharp and efficient. Other trainees who had fin
Masked Desire CHAPTER 55
Time had become meaningless. Jason couldn't remember when he'd first settled into Kaelen's chair, couldn't track how many minutes or hours had passed since his legs had given out. The leather beneath him was warm from his body heat, but his skin felt cold and clammy at the same time. His pulse hammered in his ears, uneven and too fast.Kaelen moved around the room like a shadow, pulling curtains shut against the afternoon light, fetching a glass of water from somewhere Jason couldn't see. He didn't ask questions. Didn't demand explanations. The quiet was almost worse than interrogation would have been."This is what happens when someone pushes past their limits," Kaelen murmured, more to himself than to Jason. His voice was low, matter-of-fact. "Body shuts down. Forces you to stop."Jason knew he wasn't talking about training.The scent blocker sat in his pocket like a lead weight. He'd taken it this morning, same as always, but something felt different. Wrong. Like his body was fight
Masked Desire Chapter 54
Jason sat on the edge of his bed, elbows resting on his knees, Kaelen’s note folded and unfolded again between his fingers. He had read it five times, maybe six, the words already etched in his brain. Still, he couldn’t make himself put it down.Another knock came at the door. Firmer this time. No guessing needed. That voice—low and measured—belonged to Ivan.Jason didn’t move. Didn’t breathe.“Jason,” Ivan said again, not loud, but enough.Something in the way his name sounded made his stomach twist. The bond—stupid, relentless thing—tightened like a leash. His legs moved without permission, dragging him forward before his thoughts could stop them.He opened the door.Ivan stood in the hallway, arms crossed, expression unreadable. He wasn’t dressed in his usual sharp way—his shirt was rumpled, sleeves pushed halfway up his forearms. He looked like he hadn’t slept, but not from exhaustion. It was something deeper, something that didn’t show up in the mirror but wore you down from the
