MasukThe sudden movement made Kendall’s head spin, her chin lolling to one side. She squeezed her eyes shut and groaned as blood rushed to her head. The dizziness grew worse. All because of Leon. Because of his annoying caveman tactics. Why couldn’t he just carry her like a bride instead of manhandling her like a gorilla?“Drink this.” His voice was rough.Kendall ignored him. Her head throbbed. She didn’t want to drink. Didn’t want to move. She only wanted to sleep, but the heat inside her body kept rising with every second.Her hand ached to slip down there, but she knew it wouldn’t be enough. The drug in her system was too strong. She didn’t want anything to do with Leon, especially when she was fully aware he didn’t even like her and still loved his first partner.Let the world burn. She didn’t need anyone’s love. She was strong. She could handle herself. She could handle this.‘Yeah, Kendall. You’re strong. Take a deep breath.’She was still mumbling to herself when a hand slid across
“Bastard,” Leon muttered, voice cold. “How dare you,” he growled, low and sharp.He strode up to Dorian and slammed his fist into the man’s jaw. Dorian staggered back a few steps, groaning and spitting as blood trickled from his lip.“What the hell is your problem?!” Dorian snarled, trying to swing back. Leon was faster. He shifted his stance and drove his fist into Dorian’s stomach. Dorian folded over in pain, still forcing himself to stay upright.With a low snarl, Dorian lunged again and kicked Leon in the side, making Leon jolt.“You,” Leon growled, grabbing Dorian by the throat.Dorian grabbed his neck in return. They stared each other down, but it was obvious Dorian was already in bad shape.“Touch her again and I’ll make sure you never breathe again,” Leon said, voice icy.“She didn’t mind. Who the hell are you to tell me what to do,” Dorian forced out.“I’m her mate, idiot. I heard her tell you to stop when you had her pinned to the wall,” Leon shot back, tightening his grip u
That night, before Raven went after Selina and slept with her over and over, burning with desire, Kendall saw him walk out of the bar and leave her there alone. She had no idea what she had done to deserve that kind of humiliation. It crushed her. Her pride stung.She’d met her father the day before. They had dinner together, but everything felt cold and tight. To her, they looked more like strangers who happened to share a table than family.She wanted to talk to Raven. She knew if she messaged him from her own phone, he would ignore it. So she used her father’s phone, sent the text, then deleted it so he wouldn’t notice. She only asked if Raven would come. It made sense that he was surprised to see her, but Kendall felt like she had no other option.She gathered every scrap of courage she had and told him what she wanted, hoping he would understand and be willing to help. To Raven, it was nothing but a stupid idea. Her hope collapsed. Then, right in the middle of that chaos, her bod
The chill tickling the soles of her feet forced Selina’s eyes wide open. She blinked a few times to clear her vision, then a soft groan slipped past her lips when she felt the heavy weight pinning half of her body.She looked down and found Raven wrapped tightly around her chest. He was fast asleep on top of her, both of them completely naked. Selina swallowed hard as the memories of what had happened a few hours ago spun back through her head. Outside the window, the sky was still dark.She reached up, feeling around for her phone to check the time. It was already past midnight. Westbrook University had to be empty by now. Selina knew she needed to wake Raven so they could leave before someone caught them there.Moving slowly, she tried to slip away and touched Raven’s shoulder gently. He was still trapped in deep sleep, his skin hot against hers. Even though they had done it over and over until she felt completely drained, she still wondered if it had been enough to neutralize the d
Selina swallowed hard. Raven had been drugged. She kept wondering what they had given him. And who would do something like that to Raven? He had gone to meet Kendall’s father. Was he the one who had done this to Raven?She was about to turn around when Raven slammed his forehead against her back, pinning her there so hard her own forehead nearly hit the door, trapping her between the door and his body.Selina forced her arm between herself and the door, but the moment she pushed back, she felt something hard press against her lower body.Her heart slammed wildly, climbing straight up into her throat as she swallowed again.“Raven…” She did not get to finish, because his hand moved to her shoulder first. His fingers slid into her hair, finding the back of her neck, making Selina lift her head and turn to look at him.She sucked in a sharp breath. Raven’s hot breath brushed against her skin, sending shivers racing down her spine. She did not know why her body trembled like this. This wa
Selina was reviewing the test results Silas had sent over earlier when her phone vibrated with an incoming message. She glanced at the screen, hoping it was from Raven. The hope died the moment Susan’s name popped up instead. A selfie filled the display, Susan smiling beside Evan in the library. Selina replied with a single ghost emoji, then went back to her work. A few moments later, another message came in from Susan, but Selina chose to ignore it for now. She wanted to finish what she was doing first. Not long after, her phone started ringing. With a soft sigh, Selina checked the screen. Susan. She answered the call. “Where are you?” Susan asked without preamble. “I’m in the lab. You?” Selina replied. “Evan and I are still in the library. He has class after this, but I’m free. How about we grab some snacks together in twenty minutes? What do you think?” Susan said. Selina’s stomach picked that moment to complain. “Sure. Let’s meet in twenty minutes.” Susan agreed, and the
