Lahat ng Kabanata ng Sinister Storm: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Bennett’s PovThe second Lucas left the room, I felt my wolf clawing under my skin, a restless fury buzzing within me. My fingers curled into fists, the vein in my head pulsing so hard I felt my head might explode.The nerve of Xane. Walking in here with no care, almost like he was challenging me. Smirking at me like I was some sort of joke while Lucas smiled at him. Acting like he hadn’t done anything wrong.He’s trying to take him from us, my wolf snarled, the voice rough and feral. And you just let him stand there, looking at Lucas like that. You did nothing.Shut up, I snapped back, though the guilt burned within me. I had done nothing because I’d been half-broken and stuck in a hospital bed. But that didn’t make the humiliation sting less.‘Then fix it. Make him pay.’Yeah. Oh, I would. If Xane thought I would sit back while he charmed his way into Lucas’s life, he was dead wrong. I grabbed my phone off the tray table, my thumb stabbing at Ryder’s number.“Yo,” he answered on t

XANE’S POVIf Lucas had been even a little less distracted, I’d be in deep shit. Thank God he hadn't noticed.The second his lips met mine, I knew I’d derailed him completely. His curiosity about me being in his Dad’s study hadn't let him calm down enough to notice that I had snagged some USB drives, which were now safely nestled in my pocket.There was a locked safe I had tried to pick but I hadn't gotten any luck before his call came in letting me know that he was looking for me so I had quickly left it. But then Kissing Lucas had made all plans I had to open the safe to evaporate. I knew I was attracted to him but I hadn't expected to be this affected by him.The kiss was definitely the best highlight of my day. Maybe my week even.I would’ve taken it further too, full make out, maybe give him his first sexual experience. Lucas didn’t exactly hold back, but then his mother showed up being a divine cockblocker. Perfect timing. Thanks, Mrs. Storm.We pulled apart as his mum closed

BENNETT’S POVI was sitting in my room, staring at the same wall for the last hour, replaying Ryder’s words over and over again.He had found nothing, no trace, not a single damned lead on Marcus Reid.I’d sent people out. Called every contact I trusted, greased a few palms, and even leaned on some who didn’t deserve it. Dead ends everywhere. Reid was a ghost, and that made me furious, not just because he’d blindsided me, but because he’d done it so easily.When Ryder came back with the disappointing news, I’d waved him off, told him to go grab food or burn off steam. No sense in both of us being angry and agitated eventually pacing holes into the carpet.Now it was just me, my frustration, and the restless thrum of my wolf pacing inside my chest. We should hunt. Rip him apart. Stop waiting. Do something.“Yeah, thanks for the motivational speech,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair. “You think I haven’t tried that already?”Pain shot through my ribs, sharp and sudden, and f

LUCAS’S POVI spent the entire day holed up in my room, it was mid evening and my room was semi dark. Images of what had transpired earlier in the day with Xane kept looping through my head.It should’ve been a simple kiss, nothing to fuss over. But Xane had pressed into me, making me feel his heat and length. Then he had smiled, that stupid smirk of his that had melted into something else right before his lips claimed mine. My wolf still whispered Bennet’s name, funny how it was being loyal to a bond that hurt us more than it made us happy. But at this point, I couldn't explain my conflicting feelings. Everything was so messed up. I kept thinking of how Xane’s mouth had been rough and demanding against mine. I’d imagined—God, I’d imagined things I shouldn’t have, right there in my father’s study. My face burned just thinking about it. Xane had left, after apologizing like he’d done something wrong. But I was also to blame for what had happened because I had been seconds away from

XANE’S POVThe first odd thing about Monday morning wasn’t the gray sky or the fact that I’d barely slept. It was Lucas.Usually, I was the one hunting him down, strolling into the classroom late just to slide into the seat next to him and watch Bennett or Ryder grind their teeth.Today, though? I barely made it out of my car before Lucas materialized at my side, walking close enough that our shoulders almost brushed.“Morning,” I said, quirking an eyebrow. “To what do I owe this honor? Or are you just using me as a human shield?”“I’m not using you,” he muttered, his eyes fixed straight ahead. “Just walking with you.”“Mm.” I scanned the courtyard. No Ryder. No Bennett. No Avery with her death glare. Normally, I’d have gotten at least one warning before the first bell.“You okay?” I asked finally, because he looked like someone had been chewing on him all weekend.“I’m fine.” His answer was too fast and curt. I knew he was lying.“Fine,” I echoed, nodding like I believed it. I didn’
