FAZER LOGINSelene's POV Sapphire closed the door behind us."Three days of work," she said.I looked at the table. Then I looked at the walls. Then I looked at the table again.It was buried. Not stacked neatly, not modestly organised, but completely buried under files and print
Selene's POV I was exhausted down to my bones by the time I left the castle.The argument with Ethan had wrung something out of me that the quiet of my room afterward had not been able to put back. I lay there for a while in the dark, staring at the ceiling, but the room was too still and no amount of lying quietly in it was going to change that.I thought about Eli. About the sound of his laughter and the way he r
Victor's POV I gave the order with the kind of calm that came from having already decided and having no interest in being talked out of it."Prepare for the banquet," I said. "We are attending."The silence that followed was the kind that forms when a room full of people has received information they were not expecting and is trying to decide how to respond to it without overstepping.

Victor's POV I sat in the dark room, my hands gripping the armrest of the chair until my knuckles turned white. Every second felt like an hour. I stared at the door and listened for footsteps. I told myself Abel would bring her back. He would walk through that door with Selene beside him, her eyes
Selene's POVTwo days passed, and every single morning I found fresh flowers at my door. Roses, lilies, tulips wrapped in velvet ribbon. Victor never stopped trying, as if gifts could change anything. He wanted me close again, but I saw the truth in his eyes. He wanted my body, not my trust. I turn
