Kali's POV I sat on the edge of my bed, knees drawn up to my chest, staring blankly out the window at the sprawling grounds of Emmett's mansion. The afternoon light filtered through the heavy curtains, casting long golden stripes across the floor, but I barely noticed. My mind kept replaying the scene in Emmett’s study over and over like a fever dream I couldn’t wake from. I could still remember, rather vividly, the way his hands felt on me, his mouth, the way his fingers had teased me right to the edge and the way he felt inside me. Between my legs, a persistent, warm buzz hummed every time the memory surfaced. My thighs pressed together instinctively, and a flush crept up my neck. I wasn’t even sure how I felt about it. Scared? Excited? Guilty? All of those emotions tangled together into something confusing and overwhelming. Emmett hated me, never even said a kind words to me. But he had been something else entirely that day in his study. He had been hungry and fierce and comple

Kali's POV Celine stood in front of me with her arms folded tightly over her chest, her silver bob framing a face that had lost all its earlier playfulness. Her eyes bored into mine with a mixture of frustration and disappointment.“Why do you continue to let people walk all over you, Kali?” she asked, her voice sharp. “Why do you just stand there and take it every single time?”I pressed my lips shut, unable to find the right words. My fingers twisted nervously in the fabric of my dress as I stared at the floor. The sting of Kora’s earlier insults still burned in my ears, and now Celine’s words felt like salt being rubbed into the wound.Celine let out a harsh breath. “You need to step out of your old self already. This timid, scared little girl act is becoming too pathetic.”My head snapped up so fast my neck ached. I hadn’t expected that from her. “Why would you say that?” I asked, my voice cracking with hurt.“Because that’s the truth!” Celine snapped back, her tone rising. “You

Kali's POV The moment Emmett stepped out of my room and the door clicked shut behind him, my heart started racing so violently I could feel it pounding in my throat. I stood there motionless, staring at the closed door, my mind spinning.How the hell was I supposed to get closer to Kora and find information? The idea alone made bile rise in my throat. Was he intentionally pushing me toward my death? Did he truly see me as nothing more than a tool he could use and throw away?I had foolishly let myself think that things might be different between us after what happened in his study. The heat of his touch, the way he had kissed me, the raw hunger in his eyes… for a brief moment, I had let myself believe he saw me as something more than just the weak, white haired freak. I had hoped that things just might change for me.But I was so stupid to think that.How did I even let myself think that what happened in the study meant something to him?Kora would kill me, if she caught me snooping

Kali's POV I pressed myself tighter against the wall beneath the window, barely daring to breathe. My pulse thundered wildly in my ears as I listened to everything happening inside the room. The rough sound of shuffling footsteps. The sharp edge in Kora’s voice. The dangerous calm in Celine’s replies. I should run. I should leave Celine and get far away before this became an even bigger disaster. But my body refused to move. “What do you think you’re doing?” Kora demanded again. “Sheesh, relax,” Celine replied casually, though I could hear the strain beneath her voice now. “You act like I uncovered state secrets.” “You broke into my room.” “I was looking for something.” “And you found it?” Kora asked coldly. Silence. My stomach twisted. Celine had definitely found something. I carefully lifted my head just enough to peek through the open window. Kora stood near the door, her silver eyes blazing with suspicion. Her hair was slightly messy, like she had rus

Kali's POV I walked slowly deeper into the forest, my pulse hammering against my ribs as my eyes darted frantically between the trees. The footsteps. I knew I heard them. Heavy boots crunching against leaves and twigs. Someone had been out there behind the guest house. The sound came again faintly ahead of me. My breath caught. Without thinking, I hurried forward. The footsteps grew fainter with every passing second. Panic flickered inside me and I broke into a run, branches snagging against my sleeves as I chased after the sound. My lungs burned almost instantly, but I kept going. This was crazy. Absolutely crazy. But if I could find whoever it was… Maybe this would finally be useful. Maybe if I discovered something important enough to tell Emmett, then I wouldn't have to do something as crazy as this or drag Celine into any more messed with Kora. My feet pounded harder against the forest floor. Then suddenly Celine flashed through my mind. Her stan
