CHAPTER 11Nova Sterling Point Of View“Look.” Vangh's lips brush my ear as he points to his chest. A fake tattoo stretches across his breast, reading “Property of Alpha House.” Which now peels off like old wallpaper. His real tattoo markings surface underneath. It’s a rebel symbol hidden all along, a secret no one knows.Sloane appears beside us, stretching her knife at Vaughn's throat. “You lying bastard.” Her wedding dress smells of burnt sugar- sharp and sweet. “How long have you been working for the rebels?”Vaughn doesn't blink. “Since they took Nova's mom.” He stands there, steady and cold, like he’s done nothing wrong.My chest tightens with wonder.
