Lilith’s POV

I woke up to the soft rise and fall of Nolan’s chest beneath my cheek, the warmth of his skin wrapped around me like a blanket I never wanted to crawl out of. Morning sunlight seeped into the room through the half-drawn curtains, painting gold streaks across his bare shoulders. He looked peaceful, more peaceful than he had been in days. After everything that happened, sleep had been a battle neither of us was winning.

Carefully, I slid out from under his arm, letting his hand fall gently onto the bed. He barely stirred.

My legs ached a little from last night, it had been… intense. A mix of anger, fear, longing, relief. Everything we had been holding back had combusted the moment we stepped into the house. And despite all the chaos waiting for us outside these four walls, for a few hours we had let ourselves forget it.

I slipped into the bathroom, splashed water on my face, and stared at my reflection in the mirror. My hair was a mess, my eyes tired, my skin still flushed

  • Until She Was Theirs   Chapter 76

    Lilith’s POVI did not even realize how loud Kyra’s voice had become so loud in my head until I was halfway home and still hearing it, it was pretty clear, calm, devastatingly certain.“You’re a complication they don’t need.”The city blurred past me as I walked, my steps automatic, my mind filled with the conversation with Kyra and lyra. I had handled it well back there. I knew I had. I hadn’t raised my voice. I hadn’t shown weakness. I had walked away gracefully with my head high, like whatever they had said hadn’t mattered.But words had a way of sinking in when you least expected it.“You don’t belong in their world.”I clenched my fingers around the strap of my bag, forcing myself to breathe. The problem wasn’t that Kyra had said it. The main problem was that small, traitorous part of me that wondered if she was right.By the time I reached home, the sky had begun to dim, evening settling in softly. The house lights were on, it felt warm and inviting. Too normal. Too peaceful for

    Lilith’s POVIf there was one thing I had learned over the past few weeks, it was that silence could be more dangerous than noise.So when Lyra and Kyra had suggested we “talk somewhere quiet,” I didn’t miss the way my shoulders tensed up immediately.Not too quiet, I had insisted.They had exchanged a look, one of those silent twin conversations that made my skin crawl….before Kyra shrugged and suggested a café tucked behind a strip of offices downtown. It wasn’t busy, but it wasn’t deserted either. A few people sat scattered around, murmuring over drinks, the hum of distant traffic bleeding in through open windows.Public enough that they couldn’t try anything stupid but I still didn’t trust them.I walked a step behind them as we entered, my gaze sweeping the room out of habit. Lyra walked like she owned the place, her chin tipped up, eyes sharp and critical as if she were already bored. Kyra, on the other hand, slowed to match my pace, glancing at me with something that looked alm

    Lilith’s POVI slammed Tyla’s door shut harder than necessary, the sound echoing through her living room like a visible punctuation to the storm already brewing inside me.“Unbelievable,” I snapped, tossing my bag onto her couch and pacing immediately. Sitting still felt impossible. My skin buzzed with irritation, my every nerve on edge. “Absolutely unbelievable.”Tyla didn’t even flinch. She leaned back against her kitchen counter, arms folded, lips twitching like she was only seconds away from laughing. “You have said that three times already,” she said calmly. “And you have only been here for five minutes.”“I’m serious, Tyla.” I dragged a hand through my hair, turning sharply to face her. “Those sisters….Lyra and Kyra….are officially the most annoying human beings to ever walk the face of this earth. I don’t know how they do it, but every time that I think they can’t possibly get under my skin any more than they already have, they somehow find a way.”Tyla finally laughed, soft an

    Nolan’s POVI had been staring at my screen for so long that the numbers were beginning to blur together. The competition was closing in, the deadlines were merciless, and the piles of documents on my desk seemed capable of replicating themselves every time I blinked. Sometimes I wondered if Cassian had secretly cursed me with the ability to attract work with magnetic force.I pushed another file aside, exhaling slowly. Just one more report. Just one more projection. Just one more responsibility on top of the dozen already weighing on my shoulders.The shrill beep of the intercom cut through my concentration.“Sir?” Mia’s voice drifted through. “You have a visitor.”My brow furrowed. “I’m not expecting anyone. Who is it?”“She said her name is Kyra.”Of course.Just what I needed today.“Send her in,” I said, even though every instinct in me wanted to climb out of the window instead.The door opened before I could stack my documents neatly. Kyra stepped inside as if the office belonge

    ‎‎Lilith’s POV‎‎‎I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing relentlessly under my pillow, an unfamiliar vibration pattern that immediately jerked me from sleep. Nolan and Cassian were both gone from the hallway outside my room; the house had that early-morning stillness where even the walls seemed half-awake.‎‎I blinked until my eyes adjusted, reached for my phone, and frowned at the unknown number flashing across the screen.‎‎I should have ignored it.‎‎I really, really should have ignored it.‎‎But I opened the message.‎‎And the second I did, my stomach dropped so violently It felt like the floor would split beneath me.‎‎A picture filled my screen, it was Cassian’s unmistakable silhouette, unmistakable posture, unmistakable proximity…. And Lyra draped beside him, her mouth near his neck, his hand resting on her thigh. The lighting was unmistakably a club or a bar. Cassian looked intoxicated, leaning in, letting her close.‎‎My heart didn’t just sink.‎‎It ignited with

  • Until She Was Theirs   Chapter 71

    Cassian’s POVThe bass from the underground club vibrated through the cracked concrete walls long before I reached the door. It wasn’t the clean, flashy kind of club music, this was the kind that's deep, ugly, thumping noise, the kind that settled in your chest like a second heartbeat. The kind this crowd preferred.The kind that said:If you walk in, you better be ready for blood or business.Tonight, I came solely for business.The two guards at the door straightened when they saw what…who….I dragged behind me. The Viper member stumbled, wrists bound, his face swollen from the beating I had given him earlier. He tried to stand taller, tried to act like he wasn’t terrified, but his legs shook more with every step.One of the guards flashed a look at the other.I pushed past them.If the gang leaders wanted evidence, I brought them evidence.Inside, smoke curled thick around the red flashing lights. The air tasted of sweat, alcohol, and something metallic. The massive warehouse-turned
