GINGER:Something hard and warm presses against me, the steady rise and fall beneath my cheek soothing in a way I don’t want to question. The scent is familiar, and before my mind fully wakes, I run my hand over it, letting my fingers trace the shape beneath me. It is hard yet soft in a way that my body enjoys.Then a low groan rumbles beneath my palm, causing my eyes to snap open. I am lying on Hu’s chest, my hand caressing his face.Panic strikes my chest, and I jerk up, scrambling away from him so fast that my back nearly hits the other side of the bed. My heart pounds as I stare at him. His hair is a hot mess, his lips slightly parted from sleep, but he looks so hot. Fuck, did I just say that?Oh, god.I bury my face in my hands, cursing myself. Why couldn’t I keep my hands to myself? Worse, why did it feel so good? I don’t even want to know if he was awake for it, because that would make me want to kill myself more than I already do.Caspian crosses my mind, and I slap my forehea

HU:I know I have broken every code among guys, and to be honest, I don’t feel bad about it. The moment I saw Ginger’s text to Caspian, I knew I had to do something. Classes are busy today, but I would give anything to make her feel better. Talking with her yesterday made me feel good, and I am not necessarily repaying her, but knowing she is in pain makes me uneasy.I have no idea how Caspian can sit through the entire school day with this information. Well, he doesn’t have sisters, but I do, and they are never in the best mood during their cycle. The first time Hana got hers, she rained down on the entire house. That same week, she was so emotional that everything at home made her cry. It’s a good thing I have two sisters because I know exactly what to do for Ginger, even though I have never helped mine—because no one would trust the dysfunctional child to administer care.“Thank you,” she mutters, and I look up to meet her eyes.She walks to the bed, sitting on it before I turn to

GINGER:My heart thumps in my chest as the taxi comes to a halt in front of the house. I take a deep breath before getting out of the car, then slowly make my way to the front door. Just as my hand reaches for the handle, my mother pulls the door open, her brows wrinkled.“Hey, Ginger’s back!” she announces before I can say a word.I swallow hard as I hear Caspian’s voice in the background. My mother shifts to the side, allowing me to step inside while keeping her eyes on me, making it clear I’m in trouble. The moment I walk in, I spot Caspian by the living room door.“Hey,” he says in a low tone, cupping my face. I look into his eyes, trying to convince myself he deserves what he got for the way he treated me.“Are you okay?”“Yes, Ginger, are you okay?” my mother asks, her tone laced with anger, making me grab Caspian’s hand as I lead him toward the stairs.“Let me grab my backpack,” he says, stopping me halfway. As he walks to the couch to pick it up, I stare at my mother, who has

GINGER:Waking up with Caspian by my side feels right. I am not insanely attracted to him like I am to Hu, but I think I love it this way. There is no second-guessing if he loves me because, clearly, he cannot do without me, and he would do anything for me.His arms wrapped around me make me feel safe, and I would give anything to let this moment last.“Good morning, sleepyheads.” I hear my mother’s voice, causing me to flip my eyes open to see her standing by the door with a smug smile on her lips.I open my eyes properly, looking around to see that pillows are lined between Caspian and me. The feeling of him spooning me was just the pillows against my butt. His hands are on me, but he withdraws them as soon as he opens his eyes.We both sit up, and I glare at my mom, my brows wrinkled.“Good morning, Anna,” Caspian says, and my eyes widen. They’re on a first-name basis now? I know I disobeyed her, but she is trying hard to get to me, and, god, it’s working.“Good morning, Caspian.”

GINGER:“What in the Moon Goddess’s name is going on here?” Mother’s voice rings through the room, making Hu and I pull away from each other instantly.I stare at her, my face drained of color as she glares at me, her brows furrowing. Hu and I stay silent.“Is anyone going to explain what the hell I just walked into?” she demands, then suddenly slaps her forehead with both hands, letting out a dry chuckle. “Oh, I know—this is a dream. I’ll just shut this door, wait a second, and when I open it again, none of this will be real.”I open my mouth to speak, but before I can, she shuts the door. I sigh.“We’re in trouble, aren’t we?” Hu mutters. I glance at him, my brows knitted.We wait in silence for my mother to finish her dramatic pause. When the door swings open again, she’s wearing a forced smile.“So, I’m not dreaming, and the Alpha Prince is really in my daughter’s room.” Her voice is eerily calm before her expression darkens. She shuts the door behind her with a loud thud and lean
