Chapter Eleven: Secrets in the Moonlight

The city was quiet, the kind of quiet that feels like it’s waiting for something to happen. I should have been relieved, grateful even, for the calm. But I wasn’t. Because the silence only amplified the storm inside me the pull of Alex, the teasing chaos of Ryan, and the magnetic, silent claim of Dominic.I stepped onto the balcony of my apartment, the cool night air brushing my skin. The moon hung low, silver and watchful, reflecting in the glass of the city below. I thought it would soothe me, that the night might somehow wash away the tension that had consumed me since the party. I was wrong.The first knock startled me. My heart jumped to my throat. I knew who it would be even before I turned.Alex.“Mary,” he said softly, leaning against the balcony rail. “I hope you don’t mind me coming up.”“I… I don’t,” I whispered, though the tremor in my voice betrayed me.He stepped closer, his presence filling the small space, dangerous and irresistible. The scent of him wood, leather, som

Chapter Twelve: A Secret Unveiled

I didn’t sleep.Not really. Not when my mind was a storm of images, whispers, and unspoken desires. I kept replaying the balcony from last night: Alex’s teasing closeness, Dominic’s silent intensity, Ryan’s maddeningly playful grin. Every moment, every word, every brush of a hand was etched into me, impossible to erase.The storm hadn’t stopped. It had only grown louder.I didn’t notice the knock at my door until it sounded again, insistent, deliberate. My pulse jumped. I knew who it would be before opening it Alex. Always Alex when things spiraled out of control.“Mary,” he said softly as soon as the door cracked open. “I need to talk to you.”“I… I don’t think now”“You will listen,” he said, voice low, commanding, impossible to ignore. “It’s important.”I hesitated, then stepped aside, letting him in. His presence filled the apartment immediately dangerous, smooth, magnetic. And yet, there was something different tonight, something more urgent.“Mary,” he began, eyes dark and inten

Chapter Thirteen: Crossing the Line

I should have known better.The secret Alex had whispered last night about promises, alliances, and complicated ties to my family wasn’t something I could ignore. Every glance, every touch, every word from him, Ryan, or Dominic reminded me that the world had shifted under my feet. I wasn’t in control anymore.Yet this morning, as sunlight streamed through my bedroom window, I felt the same impossible pull—the tension, the forbidden desire, the chaos that had consumed me since the party.It started with a message. My phone buzzed insistently, and I saw Alex’s name glowing on the screen.Meet me. Now. It’s important.I hesitated, hands shaking. I knew it was dangerous. I knew it could complicate everything. And yet… I didn’t resist.I grabbed my coat and headed out, heart hammering. The streets were quiet, but my mind was racing. What could be so important that he needed me right now?I found him at the small café near the park, seated in a shadowed corner, eyes dark and unreadable as a

Chapter Fourteen: Crossing Boundaries

The air in my apartment was thick with anticipation when I returned. I could still feel the pull of the café, the way Alex’s hand had brushed mine, the intensity in Dominic’s gaze, Ryan’s teasing grin. The line Alex had warned me about wasn’t just a metaphor anymore—it was real, and I had been walking toward it all day, almost blind to the consequences.I shouldn’t have been tempted. I knew better. But desire has a way of clouding reason, making every decision feel urgent and necessary.I was trying to calm myself when my phone buzzed.You’re not ready to do this alone.It was Alex.I hesitated, staring at the message. He wasn’t wrong. I wasn’t ready. And yet… I knew that if I ignored him, the tension between us would only grow. That invisible force that had been building for weeks the forbidden pull wouldn’t let me escape.I left my apartment immediately, heart pounding, hands trembling. The streets were quiet, eerily so, as if the city itself was holding its breath.I found him wait

Chapter Fifteen: Flames of Consequence

I woke to a quiet apartment that felt almost too still. The night air still lingered, carrying the faint scent of the city, the distant hum of traffic below, and… the memory of last night.My pulse still raced from what had happened in the park, from the moment I had stepped across that invisible line. The one Alex had warned me about. The one Dominic had cautioned me against. The one Ryan had practically dared me to cross.And I had.The consequences hit me immediately.I hadn’t expected the aftermath to be so… intense. The subtle tension that had always existed between us Alex, Dominic, Ryan, and me had shifted. It wasn’t playful anymore. Not teasing. Not subtle. It was fire, all-consuming, dangerous, and entirely unpredictable.I tried to steady myself, taking a deep breath, staring out the window. But I knew, even before my phone buzzed, that nothing would be calm today.It was Alex.Mary, we need to talk. Now. It’s urgent.I hesitated. My heart hammered, my stomach twisted. “Urge

Chapter Sixteen: When Secrets Start Breathing

The first thing I learned after crossing the line was thisforbidden desire doesn’t fade.It evolves.It sharpens its teeth.It grows lungs.It starts breathing down your neck when you least expect it.By the time morning light crept into my apartment, pale and unforgiving, I already knew that what happened earlier wasn’t an ending.It was a warning.I stood by the window, arms wrapped around myself, watching the city wake up as if nothing had changed. Cars moved. People laughed. Life continued.Mine didn’t.Dominic’s past wasn’t just a shadow anymore it had weight. Shape. Consequences.Alex’s concern had shifted into something darker, heavier.And Ryan… Ryan was no longer pretending this was a game.My phone buzzed.Ryan.You didn’t answer last night. That’s not like you.I stared at the screen, my heart thudding. I hadn’t answered anyone after leaving my sister’s apartment. I had needed silence. Space. Time.But time was no longer something I owned.I typed back slowly.I needed to

Chapter Seventeen: Marked

There are moments when fear announces itself loudly.Screaming. Running. Chaos.And then there are moments like thisquiet, calculated, suffocating.The message on my phone didn’t blink or disappear. It sat there, patient, like it knew I couldn’t outrun it."Tell Dominic he can’t protect what’s already marked.""Marked."The word crawled under my skin.Alex took my phone, his jaw tightening so hard I thought his teeth might crack. Ryan paced the room like a caged animal, hands raking through his hair, anger vibrating off him.“They shouldn’t have been able to reach you,” Alex said lowly.“But they did,” I whispered.Ryan stopped pacing. “Which means Dominic didn’t miscalculate.”I looked at him. “Then what did he do?”Ryan met my eyes. “He underestimated how much they’d enjoy using you.”Cold settled deep in my bones.Dominic didn’t answer my calls.Again.I tried once. Twice. Five times.Nothing.Alex noticed. “He’s keeping his distance on purpose.”“Or he’s already in trouble,” I sn

Chapter Eighteen: Bloodlines and Bargains

The words didn’t land all at once.They arrived slowly, like shards of glass sinking into my skin one by one.“She took your sister.”For a moment, I thought I’d misheard Dominic. That my mind had twisted his words into something monstrous because fear was already clawing at my chest. I searched his face for contradiction for any sign that he would shake his head and say I misspoke.He didn’t.His jaw was locked so tightly I could see the muscle jumping beneath his skin. His eyes those eyes that always seemed to see too much were stripped bare, darkened by something close to rage and something even closer to guilt.The room tilted.“No,” I whispered, the word barely a breath. “You’re wrong.”Silence answered me.My knees buckled before I realized I was falling. Alex caught me just in time, strong arms bracing my weight, his body solid behind mine. I felt his hand tighten on my shoulder, grounding me, holding me upright when my own strength abandoned me.Ryan swore low, vicious, the so

Chapter Nineteen: The Choice That Broke Us

The gunshot didn’t sound the way I expected.It wasn’t loud or dramatic. It didn’t echo the way movies pretend it does.It was sharp. Final. Terrifyingly real.For a split second, I didn’t know who had been hit. Pain didn’t bloom in my body, so my mind rejected the possibility that it was me. My sister screamed, a raw, broken sound that sliced through the chaos.Dominic staggered.Time cracked.“No” I breathed, my voice tearing apart as I ran toward him.Blood soaked his shirt, spreading fast and dark. He dropped to one knee, teeth clenched, refusing to fall even as his body betrayed him.Selene laughed.It wasn’t hysterical. It wasn’t loud.It was pleased.“You see?” she said softly. “You always choose wrong.”Ryan tackled her from the side before she could raise the gun again. They crashed into a table, glass shattering everywhere. Alex reached Dominic at the same time I did, pressing his hands hard against the wound.“Stay with me,” Alex ordered. “Stay with us.”Dominic’s gaze foun

Chapter Twenty: The Truth That Was Never Meant for Me

Dominic’s words followed me long after he left.Selene wasn’t the beginning. She was the aftermath.I lay awake that night, staring at the ceiling, my mind replaying everything I thought I understood and finding cracks everywhere. The past I didn’t know existed had teeth now, and it was circling.Morning came without mercy.Ryan was already in the kitchen when I woke, leaning against the counter with a cup of coffee he hadn’t touched. He looked tired in a way sleep couldn’t fix.“You didn’t sleep,” he said.“Neither did you.”He huffed a quiet laugh. “Fair.”I hesitated, then asked the question that had been clawing at me all night. “What did Dominic mean yesterday?”Ryan’s jaw tightened. “He meant you were never as far from us as you thought.”“That’s not an answer.”“No,” he agreed. “It’s a warning.”Alex arrived an hour later, suit crisp, expression unreadable. He looked between Ryan and me, then shut the door behind him.“We don’t have much time,” he said. “Selene’s people are alr
