Evelyn“Why are you just standing there?” Christian’s voice pulled me from my haze. He was still behind the counter, flipping a fork in his hand like he was thinking of tossing it at me for ignoring him.I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. My throat felt dry, my legs stiff like they belonged to someone else.He stepped around the kitchen island, his footsteps soft but sure, moving across the marble like a predator, smooth, silent, confident. Every inch he moved closer made my skin burn hotter. By the time he stopped in front of me, he was just inches away.My breath hitched.He was so close now I could smell the warmth of his skin, coffee, cedar, a trace of the body wash I remembered lathering onto his chest last night. The heat of his body rolled toward me in slow, lazy waves. My eyes flicked up, only to meet his piercing blue stare, unapologetically direct. My lungs forgot how to function.I closed my eyes, instinctively.Maybe if I didn't look at him, I could stop myself from doing someth

Evelyn"This," Rein growled, tightening his grip on Christian's throat, then flinging him backwards against the wall. The sound of Christian's body hitting the plaster made my stomach flip. A picture frame crashed to the ground beside him. "This is what you choose, Christian? This?"Christian groaned, dragging himself up slowly, his hands braced against the wall for support. Rein walked toward him again, his boots thudding heavily across the floor."Answer me!"I flinched at the sound, but Christian spat blood onto the floor and straightened. His voice was hoarse. "Leave her out of this."Rein didn’t listen. He grabbed Christian again and shoved him hard enough that the drywall cracked behind him. My breath caught in my throat.He turned toward me now, pointing one long finger at me. "Is this the fucking hill you want to die on, Christian? A girl you just met? You put her in the middle of a war for what? To save face? Your damn ego?"Christian coughed, wincing as he straightened. "You

EvelynThe air had been tense. Heavy silence lingered after Christian’s words were spoken. Rein's gaze had hardened, his jaw set in that expression he often wore when things were about to turn, when time was no longer on anyone’s side.“It’s time,” Rein said sharply, stepping toward the door and glancing over his shoulder. “We can’t waste another bloody minute.”A nod was given by Christian, subtle but filled with meaning. No more time would be bought by hesitation.His eyes had then found mine, softer than before. “Get ready,” he told me, voice low but firm. “We’re leaving.”But the moment had barely settled when Rein’s arm was extended sideways, stopping him. His tone was cold and abrupt. “You’re coming with me,” he said, eyes cutting sharply. “She’s not.”The words hadn’t even fully registered before my head shook. “Hell no,” I snapped, stepping forward. “I’m not staying behind. Whatever you’re doing, Christian, I’m doing it too.”Rein turned fully to me. The tension in his jaw cou

EvelynChristian was sitting, right there, on that couch, his head tilted as he listened to me talk about the nightmare I didn’t want to relive. Rein watching us from across the room like he already knew what would happen. And me, wishing I had held Christian longer.A part of me wanted to wait here, just in case. But the smarter part knew better. It knew this place was no longer safe. It hadn’t been safe the moment Rein said those words.I pressed the button and watched the elevator doors open. The metallic chime felt too loud in the silence. My fingers clutched the strap of my backpack tighter."You better come back," I whispered to the empty room, my voice cracking.The elevator doors closed slowly, the penthouse fading from view. It was more than just a place, it had been a momentary sanctuary. A temporary pause in the chaos. Now, even that had been stolen from me.The ride down felt slow, as if the universe was giving me one last chance to change my mind. But there was nothing le

The second Daniel turned his back to signal one of the rogues, I moved.I twisted hard out of his grip and ran. My feet tore through the forest floor, sharp roots and rocks scraping my soles, but I didn’t stop. I ducked under low-hanging branches, lungs burning, heart smashing against my ribs like it wanted out. I didn’t know where I was going, just away, anywhere away.A roar erupted behind me, feral and amused.“Nice try, princess,” Daniel’s voice thundered through the trees.Before I could react, something slammed into me from the side. I hit the ground hard, bark and dirt scratching my cheek. Daniel yanked me up by my hair, dragging me backward. My legs scrambled for footing, but he had me—like a damn beast hauling in its prey.“You’re not escaping what’s coming next,” he growled into my ear. “Don’t even dream about it.”“I told you the truth!” I shouted, struggling against his grip. “I left Bluestone. I’m not the Luna anymore.”He didn’t respond at first. Just walked, forcing me
