FAZER LOGINCaden’s POVThe moment Summer said “my mother,” my body tensed.Gunnar didn’t move at first, but I saw it clearly. His jaw tightened hard, like he was trying to hold something back. His eyes stayed on her, sharp and unreadable, but there was something else under it. Something deeper that he wasn’t letting out.“What are you saying Summer?” Gunnar asked.His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried across the room in a way that made everyone go quiet.Summer didn’t answer immediately. She took a small breath and stepped further into the room, closing the door behind her like she didn’t want anyone else hearing this.Leslie looked confused, her hands still hovering over Cane, but even she stopped what she was doing for a moment.Summer walked closer until she was standing near the table where Cane was lying. She looked at him first, her face tightening slightly, then she looked back at Gunnar.“I see her,” she said.Gunnar’s brows pulled together.“You see who?” he asked, even though it was ob
Caden’s POVEverything that just happened was still sitting heavy in my head, but I didn’t even get a second to process it.Gunnar suddenly moved.He didn’t say anything first, he didn’t warn anyone, he just grabbed Cane by the collar and punched him straight across the face.The sound of it made my breath get hard.Cane dropped to the ground instantly, his body hitting hard, and for a second I just stood there staring because I didn’t expect that at all.“Gunnar—” I started, but he didn’t even look at me.He bent down, grabbed Cane again like he weighed nothing, and pulled him back up roughly. Cane barely reacted, his head hanging slightly, and that was when I noticed something was seriously wrong.His skin didn’t look right.There was a strange dark color spreading from the bite on his neck, like it was moving slowly under his skin.My stomach dropped.Gunnar turned his head slightly and looked at me, his expression tight and angry.“Move,” he said.That was all.I didn’t argue. I f
Caden’s POVGunnar strode in and the moment I saw him, I let out a breath I didn’t even realize I was holding. My chest felt lighter immediately. That was what he did. He walked into a problem and somehow made it feel like it could be handled, even when everything was already going wrong.At the same time, I felt a tight knot of worry sit right under that relief. Gunnar didn’t like being challenged, and Sebastian was already on edge. If this turned into a fight, it wouldn’t just be shouting. It would get ugly fast.Sebastian turned slowly, his eyes narrowing as he looked Gunnar up and down like he was already annoyed just by his presence.“And where do you think you stand to give those orders or words?” Sebastian snapped sharply, his voice loud enough to carry across the room.He didn’t wait for a reply before letting out a short, mocking laugh, like he already thought Gunnar had no right to be here.I glanced at Gunnar, expecting him to react immediately, but instead, he smiled.That
Caden’s POVThe moment Sebastian stepped into the room, I knew there was definitely going to be a heavy problem.Even Cane, who was already out of control, seemed to pause for a second like his body reacted to the presence before his mind could even process it.I was still on the ground, struggling to breathe properly, my chest hurting with every movement, but I forced myself to push up slightly, my eyes locking onto Sebastian as he stood there.His expression was dark, just pure anger, and it was clear he had already decided what this situation meant before even asking anything.“How dare you hurt the Luna, Cane,” he thundered, his voice loud and filled with authority. “How dare you lay your hands on my Luna?”His words echoed through the room, and I felt my jaw tighten immediately.So that was it.That was what he saw.Not a son losing control. A an excuse, just like I had expected.I glanced at our mother quickly.She was still recovering, her breathing uneven, her hand on her thro
Wendy’s POVThe moment he said it, I felt it.A sharp reaction in my chest that I could not hide, no matter how hard I tried to keep my face calm.He knew. That one thing.The one thing I had buried so deep that I convinced myself no one would ever find out about it.“You and Daphne killed Riley’s human parents.”The words stayed in my head, loud and clear, and for a second, I could not even respond because I was too busy trying to steady myself.I forced my expression to stay neutral, but I knew he saw it.Of course he did.Ethan missed nothing when it came to things like this.“No one would believe you,” I said but this time my voice was not as strong as before.He smiled at me like he already had me exactly where he wanted.That made something in me tighten.I hated that look.I hated the way he always acted like he had control even when he clearly didn’t.I was about to speak again when the door opened behind me.I turned immediately.Dan stepped in.The moment Ethan saw him, ever
Ethan’s POVPain hit me first.Not something I could shake off easily, but heavy and sharp, spreading through my skull like something had slammed into it hard enough to leave everything ringing.I groaned slightly as my eyes forced themselves open, my vision blurry at first before it slowly started to clear.The ceiling above me was unfamiliar.That was the first thing I noticed.This was not my house.My brows pulled together immediately, and I tried to move, but the moment I did, I felt it.Tightness. Restricting.My wrists were bound.My body tensed instantly, and I looked down as much as I could, my jaw tightening when I realized I was tied to a chair.“What the hell…” I muttered under my breath, my voice rough from the dryness in my throat.I tried to pull my hands free, testing the restraints, but the more I moved, the tighter and painful they felt, like they were reacting to my struggle instead of loosening.My chest rose with irritation, anger building fast as the memory hit m
Riley's POV Just as quickly as I sensed them, the feeling disappears.One second there is this sharp pull in my chest like something strong and familiar is close, and the next second it is gone like it never existed. I sit up slowly on the cold stone floor of my cell, my heart beating fast, trying
Riley's POVBefore Ethan can even turn to see who entered, he is yanked away from my body so violently that my head snaps forward from the sudden absence of his weight.The pressure around my throat disappears.I barely have time to gasp before Ethan is flung across the room like he weighs nothing
Riley's POV Immediately the words leave my lips, he grabs me by the neck.His hand wraps tight around my throat, choking me hard, cutting off my air as my back presses harder against the wall. My feet barely touch the floor as his grip tightens.“How dare you mess with me like this, Riley,” he sna
Riley's POVShe starts circling me slowly, like a shark deciding if the prey is worth the bite, and I just stand there, not moving a muscle, not saying a single word. My heart is hammering so loud I swear she can hear it but I keep my face blank, refusing to give her the satisfaction of seeing me
