Chapter 121"Why not?""Because I like all four of them the same." It came out smaller than I meant it to. "Not the same in the way that they're identical. I know them apart in the dark, Sienna. When Drayton walks into a room, my whole body knows it's Drayton. When Dreylen looks at me, it's a completely different feeling from when Dreyven does. And it's not that I can't choose. It's that every one of them feels like a different piece of something I lost."She stared at me a long time. "That's the most terrifying thing you've ever said to me.""I know.""You're going to get hurt."I let out a laugh with no humor in it. "When have I ever not been?"Sienna flinched, as if I had slapped her."That's not fair," she said quietly."It's true, though." I looked at my own hands, my working hands, resting in my lap. "I've been hurt so long that it feels like a normal weather. At least this time the hurt might come with something worth having."She pulled herself up and sat beside me on the be

Chapter 123I stood there with the door half open, cool night air slipping in around him, rain still dripping from his coat onto my floor in dark little spots. My heart was beating so hard I could feel it in my throat.“I see you everywhere, Auri,” he said, voice low and rough, like the words had been stuck in him for days. “I can’t sketch without your face ending up on the page. I can’t sleep. I can’t... can't think straight.”His grey eyes held mine and something in my chest pulled tight. I should have told him to leave. I should have said this was exactly why I came home...to think, to breathe.Instead I reached out and closed the door. The lock clicked soft and final, and the quiet of the apartment wrapped around us.“Dreylen…” That was all I managed before he stepped close. His hands came up and framed my face, thumbs brushing the corners of my mouth. His skin was cool from the rain, already warming against mine.“Tell me to go,” he whispered. “Tell me this is a mistake and I’l

Chapter 125Aurelia"I already told you.""Tell me properly." His voice has lost all its bounce. "You left the penthouse. You've barely called any of us. I keep wondering if you're okay in here on your own, if you're eating, if you're managing the stairs, if..." He stops himself, shakes his head. "I worry about you. All the time. It's stupid.""It's not stupid.""It feels stupid. I've spent four days checking my phone every ten minutes in case you need something." He laughs again, drags a hand down his face. "I don't know what to do with how much I think about you."The film carries on behind us, explosions nobody's watching anymore."Drayton.""I know." He holds up a hand, bracing for something. " But I can't make myself stop feeling it just because it's complicated."I look at him. At the rare, unguarded worry sitting plainly on a face that usually gives nothing away. Something in my chest gives."I don't know how to make this simple either," I say. "I wish I did.""Maybe it isn't s

Chapter 127Aurelia "To prove it to you, just wait. Soon enough, they're going to ask you to belong to all four of them. They'll share you, Lia, because to them, you're just property they lost and reclaimed."He let go of my shoulder, turned around, and walked out the door, pulling it shut behind him until the latch clicked into place.I stood alone in the hallway for three long seconds before my knees buckled completely. I hit the floor hard, my hip striking the wood, but I barely felt it. I pulled my knees up to my chest, wrapped my arms around my legs, and buried my face against my knees. No sound came out of my throat at first...just a terrible, dry gasping for air as tears burned through my closed eyelids. They knew. Every gentle touch had been a lie. Every word had been a performance to keep the broken girl quiet.They did it again. They succeeded in making a fool of me again.A raw, ragged sob finally tore out of my throat, shaking my entire body until my chest ached. I cr
