THE THING THAT STAYS~KAI'S POV~The smell of coffee hit me before I even opened my eyes. It was heavy and dark, a clear difference from the chilly morning air in the room.I lay there for a moment. I looked at the ceiling. It was a dull light.The heater was clicking in the corner. My body felt tired and heavy, every muscle still remembering Jax's weight from last night.Then I heard it. Movement in the kitchen.A cabinet door creaked. Someone picked up my cereal box. I heard a bowl clink.I sat up, my skin prickling.Jax was still here.I stood in the doorway and watched him. I didn't say a word. I just stood there, my breath hitching as I took him in. He was wearing the same jeans from yesterday, hung low on his hips, and one of my t-shirts that looked two sizes too small on his muscular frame.The fabric strained across his broad shoulders. His bare feet were planted on the cold tile. He was leaning against the counter, a bowl of cereal in one hand and his phone in the other.

THE DRIVE BACK~KAI'S POV~Mr. Williams smiled.It was that same fake smile I'd seen since I was nineteen. It never reached his eyes. It was an act he wore so well he'd forgotten how to be human."Kai." His voice was friendly, but it felt broken off. "It's been a long time."His eyes traveled down my body, then back up. It was a slow, oily look that made my skin crawl. He didn't see me as a person; he saw me as a box to be checked. I felt like I was nineteen again, trapped and small.My heart slammed against my ribs."Yeah," I managed to say. My voice was even, but it took everything I had. "And my day just got worse seeing you."Mr. Williams' smile only widened. He didn't care what I thought. He had decided a long time ago that caring was for the weak.His eyes shifted to Jax.He looked at him for a while, thinking. I could almost see him remembering Jax's face, saving it for later. Then he looked back at me."We should catch up sometime, Kai. Don't be a stranger."He turned and w

CITY HOSPITAL~KAI~He still hadn't moved.I looked at the broken phone on the floor, the call timer still running like a countdown. That voice was still coming from the speaker—calm, relaxed, and really in charge.Jax walked across the kitchen quickly. He bent down, grabbed the phone, and hung up without saying anything. He put it on the counter and looked at me.He didn't ask if I was fine. He didn't have to. He just saw the mess on my face."Get your jacket," he commanded.The drive was just gray streets and quiet.I sat in the passenger seat, holding my bag in my lap and pressing my hands on my thighs. I looked at the city go by, but I didn't really see it.Jax didn't push. He didn't fill the space with useless questions. He just drove with one hand on the wheel, his eyes locked on the road.Halfway there, my hands curled into fists. The guilt felt heavy in my chest."I didn't send the money," I whispered. My voice felt empty, like it was someone else's. "She texted me two days

MORNINGKAI'S POVI woke up at 6 a.m., before my alarm could even think about going off.Light grey morning rays were coming through the blinds, making long shadows in the room.The radiator was making a clicking sound in the corner, but I didn't feel cold. I couldn't. Jax's strong arm was over my waist, holding me down on the bed.It felt really strong and warm—like he had been sleeping there forever. I didn't move. I just lay there, feeling nervous as I listened to him breathe. Jax was deep in sleep, his breath slow and steady against the back of my neck. In the light of morning, he looked like a fallen god—strikingly handsome, his sharp jawline softened by sleep.He looked younger this way. The alpha guard he always wore was gone. I could see the bandages around his ribs and the butterfly strip on his jaw where he had been hurt at the track. My heart pounded in my chest. He had risked everythingfor me last night. I carefully lifted his large, hot arm, moving it an inch at a tim

THE FATHERKAI'S POVThe ride back was really quiet. It was nothing like the ride out, when I felt safe with my arms around Jax's strong waist. That silence was comfortable, but this one? This silence felt intense.My thoughts were stuck, forty feet behind, with Blade's unfinished words lingering like a bad vibe. 'What do you expect when his father runs the—'Jax killed the engine outside my building. We sat there in the dark for a long time. Neither of us moved. I finally climbed off the bike, handed him his helmet without a word, and walked inside. I didn't tell him to follow me, but I heard his footsteps on the stairs behind me. In my kitchen, I went straight to the stove. I pulled three packs of instant noodles from the cabinet and dropped them on the counter. My hands were shaking, and cooking was the only thing I could do that didn't involve looking at Jax's strikingly handsome face.I set the water to boil, then grabbed the first aid kit.Jax was standing in the kitch

SCORPION WINS KAI'S POVThe bike was down.I couldn't breathe.Viper looked over at me, his sickening eyes traveling over my body. "I will be collecting my prize now."My jaw locked. I felt sick. But then Jax raised his head. He looked at Viper,then at his crew."Bike," Jax commanded. His voice was a low, dangerous growl.He walked over to his fallen machine. He bent down, his big hands holding the cold metal frame. I noticed his knuckles turn white and his strong shoulders tense up as he got ready to lift the heavy bike.His jaw was so tight I could see the muscles jumping. He pulled the bike up with a strong effort. He swung his long leg over it and looked at Viper through his cracked visor."Race isn't finished," Jax said.Viper stared, his smile vanishing. "You went down, you fucking loser.""I got back up." Jax's hand found the grip, and the engine roared to life. He looked strikingly powerful in that moment, blood on his jaw and fire in his eyes. "One lap. You and me. Righ

SCORPION RUNS~KAI'S POV~The starting line was forty feet away, and I could sense the nervousness in the air.I watched Jax from behind the barrier. He had his helmet on and his large hands were gripped tight on the bike. He sat there completely still, like a strikinglyhandsome, muscular god. H

SCORPION~KAI'S POV~The knock came at 9 p.m.I had been sitting at my desk for two hours, just staring at a blank screen. Milo's words were sitting in my chest like something that wouldn't digest. 'He will hurt you. You're a target.' I wasn't writing anything; I was just letting the fear turn ove

ALMOST ~KAI'S POV~Three days.That's how long I managed to stay away. For three whole days, I rerouted my entire life just to avoid one person. I took different hallways, I left school early, and I ate lunch at my desk with my headphones blasted. I kept telling myself that the night in the snow

OUTSIDE IN THE SNOWKAI'S POVI didn't go to class. I didn't set an alarm. I hadn't slept for a single fucking second.I just lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling, my mind replaying that locker room shower on a loop. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt it all over again—the freezing water, the
