Chapter 90

Cassian’s POVI should not have agreed to meet them.That thought repeated itself in my head as the bass of the club thudded through my chest, the air thick with smoke, perfume, and tension I could practically taste. The place was packed….too packed for comfort and the neon lights flashing overhead made everything feel slightly unreal, like I had stepped into a distorted version of the city I thought I knew.Lyra and Kyra were already there when I arrived.Of course they were.They sat at a corner booth, legs crossed, drinks untouched, their expressions hard enough to cut glass. The moment Lyra spotted me, her mouth curled into a scowl so sharp I half-expected sparks to fly.Kyra didn’t bother hiding her irritation either.“Well, if it isn’t the traitor himself,” Lyra said loudly as I approached. “What do you want?”I didn’t sit. I stood there, hands in my pockets, scanning the room out of habit before focusing back on them.“Nice to see you too,” I replied dryly.Kyra rolled her eyes

Chapter 91

Lilith’s POVI woke up with a pounding headache and a strange heaviness in my chest, like something was pressing down on me from the inside. For a few seconds, I didn’t open my eyes. I just lay there, breathing slowly, trying to make sense of the unfamiliar stillness around me.Something felt… off.The room smelled different. Not bad….just not entirely mine.That was when awareness from last night slowly crept in.I opened my eyes.And my heart dropped straight into my stomach.Cassian was lying beside me.For a long, terrifying moment, my mind refused to process what I was seeing. I just stared at him, my thoughts lagging behind my vision, as if my brain was desperately trying to protect me from reality.Then everything rushed in at once.The sheets. The closeness. The way my skin felt far too exposed.I sucked in a sharp breath and sat up abruptly, the movement sending a wave of dizziness through me. I pressed my palm against the mattress to steady myself, my pulse racing so fast it

Chapter 92

Lilith’s POVSilence had never felt so loud.I sat alone at one of the small round tables near the corner of Tyla’s kitchen, my elbows resting on the cool wood, my fingers wrapped tightly around an untouched mug. The drink I held, had gone cold a long time ago, but I hadn’t noticed. I hadn’t noticed much of anything except the storm raging inside my head.Thoughts crashed into each other relentlessly.Cassian’s face when he looked at me…..always like he was holding back a thousand things he never said.Nolan’s steady presence, his quiet loyalty, the way he looked at me like I was already home.The memory of me waking up this morning hit me again, sharp and unforgiving, and my chest tightened painfully. I pressed my palm against it as if that would somehow keep everything from spilling apart.I had messed up.Royally.People moved around me…voices overlapping, laughter drifting through the space, chairs scraping softly against the floor. Tyla’s shop was busier than usual. She had menti

Chapter 93

Lilith’s POVThe bell above the coffee shop door chimed softly as I stepped outside, the sound sharp against my already frayed nerves. The late afternoon air brushed against my face, cool and grounding, but it didn’t do much to settle the chaos inside me. I took a few steps away from the entrance before stopping, my hand tightening instinctively around my phone.It vibrated again.I didn’t need to look to know who it was.Still, I did.Nolan.My chest tightened painfully, and before the screen could light up long enough to tempt me into answering, I silenced the call and slipped the phone into my bag. Almost immediately, it buzzed again….. Cassian this time…. like my conscience refusing to let me off so easily.I closed my eyes.Why now? Why all at once?Tyla’s voice echoed in my head, calm but firm, the way it had been earlier when she looked at me like she could see straight through all my carefully built defenses.You have to tell them the truth, Lilith.I swallowed hard and starte

Chapter 94

Lilith’s POVThe restaurant Theo took me to looked like the kind of place where nothing bad was ever supposed to happen.Crystal chandeliers hung low from the ceiling, casting a warm golden glow over polished marble floors. Soft music played somewhere in the background, barely loud enough to notice, and the air smelled faintly of expensive wine and perfectly prepared food. Everything about the place screamed luxury…..controlled, curated, intentional.Theo fit right in.He stepped out of the car first, rounding it quickly to open my door with a smile that was almost too practiced. I paused for a brief second before getting out, my eyes scanning the surroundings. Part of me wondered if this was another one of his games, another performance meant to confuse or disarm me.“You really didn’t have to go all out,” I said flatly as my heels hit the pavement.Theo chuckled softly. “After losing such a big deal to you and Nolan’s company, I figured the least I could do was buy you dinner.”That

Chapter 95

Nolan’s POVI couldn’t stop replaying the look on Lilith’s face.It wasn’t anger. It wasn’t fear either. It was something worse….distance. Like she was standing right in front of me, but already halfway gone. The way she had pulled away when I leaned in, the way her eyes had darted everywhere except my face, the way her answers had sounded rehearsed instead of honest.Something was wrong.I wrapped my hands around the warm cup of coffee in front of me, staring down into the dark surface like it might give me answers. The café around me buzzed softly with life….cutlery clinking, low conversations, the hiss of steaming milk….but it all felt muted, like I was underwater.I took a sip and barely tasted it.What the hell happened?Lilith wasn’t the type to withdraw without reason. She didn’t play games. If something bothered her, she usually faced it head-on. But today….no, ever since last night….she had been different. Guarded. Slippery. Like she was constantly on the verge of saying some

Chapter 96

Lilith’s POVThe sound of my name being shouted cut through the restaurant like glass shattering.“Lilith!”I froze mid-step, fingers still curled around the strap of my bag, the chair behind me scraping softly against the polished floor. For a split second, I considered pretending I hadn’t heard it….pretending this was just another noise in a room that had suddenly become too loud, too tight, too suffocating.But then I heard it again.This time, two voices.My chest tightened.I turned slowly, already knowing what I would see.Nolan stood near the entrance, tall and rigid, his expression a mix of confusion and restrained anger. Beside him was Cassian, eyes sharp, jaw clenched, his presence crackling with the kind of tension that made people instinctively step aside. Heads were already turning. Forks paused midair. Conversations dipped into uneasy murmurs.Across from me, Theo leaned back in his chair, lips curving into something that looked like a smile but felt more like a challeng

Chapter 97

Lilith’s POVBy the time the restaurant’s warm lights disappeared in the rearview mirror, my chest felt hollow, like someone had scooped something essential out of me and had forgotten to put it back.The Uber rolled through quiet streets, the driver humming softly to a song I didn’t recognize. I watched the city blur past the window, neon signs bleeding into shadows, headlights streaking like comets. My reflection stared back at me in the glass…. My eyes rimmed with exhaustion, lips pressed tight as if holding in words that refused to be said.Nolan’s voice echoed in my head. Cassian’s eyes followed right after.I had never planned for this. Never planned to care this much. Never planned to fall in love at all….especially not with two men who were friends who carried so much history, so many scars, and so much unfinished business that it felt like standing between two fault lines.I rubbed my palms together, trying to ground myself.The restaurant confrontation replayed again and aga
