AIYANA

Getting out of the house without Vardam noticing was almost a miracle. Or a well-choreographed act of insubordination on our part.

Icarus siphoned a bit of the magical barrier with his gift, creating a small gap for us to slip through. Max bribed the garage lock with meticulous breaking and entering. And me? I just followed silently, feeling the blood sing in my veins. That kind of euphoria born when you break rules that could cost your life, yet somehow feel completely worth it.

Arkan’s car smelled of smoke and old leather. An older model, with cracked black leather seats and arcane symbols nearly erased under the dashboard. The steering wheel had the cold metallic touch of a forgotten artifact. I sat in the back, the place where I felt least exposed, least vulnerable, and drew the sheath of the knife Max had given me, positioning it within reach of my hand.

"Relax," Max said, glancing in the rearview mirror with that crooked smile. "If anyone tries to touch you, they lose a h

    AIYANAThe door clicked shut behind Meredith, and for a moment no one said anything.The bathroom felt larger than it should, filled only with Max’s heavy breathing and the sound of old pipes vibrating in the walls."Are we really going to listen to a witch who’s the lover of a killer?" Max growled, running his hands through his hair. "This was a waste of time. Let’s get out of here.""Wait," my voice came low but firm. "What if she’s right?"Max shot me a surprised look, but it was Icarus who crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, jaw tight."You’re actually considering believing her?"

    AIYANAThe hallway to the bathroom felt longer than it should, and the muffled sound of music behind me made everything feel more intimate. More dangerous.When I pushed open the women’s bathroom door, she was already facing the mirror. Watching her own reflection as if analyzing someone else’s soul."You knew I’d come," she said before I could speak. Her voice was deep, warm, rough like old wine."Who are you?" I asked, without hesitation.She turned slowly, her golden eyes now more intense in the dim light. She stepped closer, and I didn’t move. I couldn’t. There was something about her that demanded attention. Obedience. As if she carried a piece of the old

    AIYANAMaxim was inside me when I woke up.It wasn’t gentle. It wasn’t sweet. It was need. His. Mine.I don’t even know when he arrived. All I know is that I had been sleeping lightly with Icarus, his protective arm wrapped around my waist, and suddenly, I was torn away.Literally.Max threw me against the wall of my own room as if my body belonged only to him, urgency in every movement as he claimed me, pressed me, bit me. As if he wanted to mark me again. And again. And again.And he did."You were sleeping with him," he growled before sinking into me. "But you moan my name. Always my

    AIYANA"Every part of you," Icarus murmured, his voice low and rough, so close to my lips I could taste the heat of his breath, "provokes me and haunts me."His hand moved slowly, deliberately, finding the button of my jeans. He unfastened it with calm precision, his eyes locked on mine, searching for resistance, hesitation, anything that might stop him. He found none. Only the steady fire of my gaze. Only want.But before he could push further, the air changed.The heat shifted. The silence thickened.Maxim.I didn’t need to turn to know he was there. I felt him before I saw him, his presence like a current that crackled down my spine, a w

    AIYANA"This is me," Vardam murmured. "I’m knocking. Coming in."My hands clenched into fists."Can you feel me?""Yes.""Good. Now push me out.""How?""Intention. Anger. Will. Choice."I squeezed my eyes shut. In my mind, I imagined the hallways darkening, the doors slamming shut, the windows locking.A thud reverberated inside my head. Another. He was still there. Still trying.Then something grew inside me. A raw force. Wild.No.The word exploded in my mind like a spear of light.And suddenly, he was gone.I opened my eyes with a gasp, breathless, and met his gaze. Vardam took a step back, his eyes narrowing. He didn’t look angry. Or surprised. There was something… satisfied about him. Intrigued."That," he said. "That was a real push.""I… I threw you out of my mind?""You did. Like a storm sweeping away an intruder." He let out a low chuckle. "It was rude. Raw. But effective.""So that’s enough to keep Josefina out?""Not yet. She’s more subtle, more poisonous. But we’ll work o
