Nadia's POVThe world became noise and fear all around me. It happened so fast. One moment we were walking quietly through the dark forest. The next moment, all hell broke loose.Men shouted and screamed all around me. The sounds were so loud they hurt my ears. Swords hit each other with loud clanging noises that echoed in the night. I heard terrible cries of pain that made my stomach feel sick.Neal immediately pushed me behind him, his body becoming a shield for me. "Stay down, Valerie!" he yelled over the noise. "Don't stand up! Stay low to the ground!"I crouched as low as I could to the dirty ground. My heart was beating so fast and hard I thought it would jump right out of my chest. I could barely breathe properly. Neal was fighting a big man who had a nasty scar across his face. Their knives flashed and danced in the dark night, catching what little light there was.Then something strange started happening to me. Through all the noise and fear and confusion, I felt the familiar

Nadia's POVI sat in my room for two days after the vision. That terrible vision of Sarah with that man. I could still see it in my mind. Sarah's torn clothes. The bruises on her skin. The way the man walked away from her. And the look on her face after he left.Who was that man? Why did she let him treat her that way? And why did she want to hurt Noah so much? I didn't understand any of it.I couldn't tell Noah about this. I couldn't tell Neal either. This was something I had to figure out myself.Sarah thought I was her friend. She thought I would help her destroy Noah. But I knew the truth now. She wanted to use me. She wanted to take everything from Noah.I had to be very smart. I had to be very careful. I decided to play a dangerous game. I would pretend to help Sarah. But I would really be learning about her plans. I needed to know who that man was. I needed to know why she was doing this.When Sarah came to visit me again, I was ready."How are you today, Luna?" she asked. She

Nadia's POVThe sun rose slowly outside my window. Another day in my golden cage. Today I had a plan, a dangerous one, but I had to try. I needed to know who Sarah's mystery man was. My stomach felt tight with nerves as I waited for her visit.Right on time, I heard the lock click. Sarah swept in with her usual fake smile plastered on her face. "Good morning, Luna. I hope you've been thinking about our little project. Do you have ay important information to give me today?.”I shook my head, reaching for my notepad with careful slowness. Not yet, I wrote. But first, I need to know , has anything happened to Beta James?Sarah's smile didn't even break"Beta James? Why would anything happen to him? He's perfectly fine."I was worried, I scribbled quickly. After what happened to Captain Kael...She waved a dismissive hand. "Kael had a unfortunate accident, that's all. These things happen. But James? I saw him not an hour ago, training with the new guards. He looked as strong and healthy as

Noah's POVValerie’s body went limp. Her eyes closed. She fainted again.My heart froze. "Valerie!"Neal moved fast. He caught her before she hit the floor. "What did you do?" he yelled at me, his voice tight with fear. "Your yelling! Your anger! You did this!""She was awake when I came in!" I shouted back, my own panic making me cruel. "She was with you!""With me?" Neal’s laugh was sharp. He laid her gently on the bed, his hands shaking. "She was begging! For help from pain you ignore!" He grabbed the notepad from the table and shoved it at me. "Read it! Read what your wife needed!"I looked down. The writing was messy and wild.Please. Just do something. Kiss me. Touch me. Anything. Please make it stop.The words cut deep. She was in so much pain she was pleading for any comfort. And she was pleading with him.HE TOUCHES WHAT IS OURS, a dark voice were angry in my mind. HE COMFORTS WHAT WE SHOULD CLAIM."Get out," I snarled at Neal, the words heavy with a threat he couldn’t unders

Noah's POVThe silence between Valerie and me was so obvious. We walked side-by-side through the bustling market, but my whole world had narrowed to the space where my hand had just touched the small of her back. Where my lips had touched her and From sucking her petite breasts. A faint, hot tingle still danced across my body.Good, the demon purred, its voice a sound in the back of my skull. She feels our claim. She will not forget it."I am not trying to make her afraid of me," I argued back in my mind, keeping my face a mask of calm as a merchant shouted about his fresh apples. The sweet smell of them turned sour in my nose.Liar, the demon hissed, You want her to tremble. You want her to know, deep in her bones, that she belongs to us. To you. To me. We are the same.My jaw tightened so hard it ached. The demon was right, and the truth of it shamed me.
