CAIUS'S POV "This is it." I said, pointing at a four floored building. It looked so old modern, almost like it was designed to be forgotten. I looked at my phone, at the tracker sitting steady and unmoving on the screen and then back at the building. "You are certain, right?" Dorian asked me and I nodded. "The signal hasn't moved for a while." I put my phone in my pocket. "This is where he's been." "Yeah, he is right. That's Riven's car." We all looked towards the angle. It was parked two spaces down and I sighed. This was about to get bloody if it turned out to be true. ▪︎▪︎▪︎ABOUT TWO DAYS AGO.Dorian had come to my room without knocking, which was standard. I had been in the middle of getting dressed after a shower when he suddenly barged in. "I need you to find something." He announced. I pulled my shirt on and turned around. "Have you heard of knocking?" "Have you heard of locking your door?" "Have you heard of privacy?"Lucian appeared in the do

EZRA'S POVThe ceiling was unfamiliar. That was the first thing I noticed after my eyes had opened clearly. It wasn't even the light, sound or the particular weight of my own body against the mattress. It was the wrong ceiling. I lay still and let the information arrive in pieces. Was I locked up somewhere else again? I sighed softly as I shifted my head uncomfortably on the pillow. My neck ached. The memories slowly arrived and I let it come. I had to then set it aside because there was nothing useful I could do with it right now. I turned my head and saw Dorian sitting in the chair beside the bed. His eyes were closed. His jacket was over the arm of the chair and his sleeves were rolled to the elbow. His head was tipped back slightly the way a person's head went when they had been sitting upright for a long time and their body had made a unilateral decision about rest. His hand was around mine, not loosely, the deliberate hold of someone who had decided on it and maintained it e

EZRA'S POV I heard a knock on my door a few times and I just couldn't help but exhale almost in regret for my existence. "I said I didn't want to see anyone. Is that too much to ask?" I had clearly told Caius about this when he knocked twenty minutes ago. I didn't want food or water. I didn't want whoever was on the other side of the door coming in with their careful expressions and their managed distances and their twenty years of complicated history that I didn't have the energy to untangle right now.I had said all of that but they still didn't want to listen to me! "It's me, Cole." My eyes snapped open instantly as I heard the familiar voice. I sat up before I'd decided to. The door opened and he came in. I had approximately one second to arrange my face into something that wasn't the thing it actually was before he crossed the room and his arms were around me. The arrangement became completely unnecessary. We stayed like that for a moment longer than either of us wo

EZRA'S POV "Cole. Cole, please stop talking aimlessly for one second and tell me what's actually happening."Static on the other end then Cole's voice which was slightly too high and fast came in, "I told you. Coach has me on this whole...uhm, a whole training...there's a training thing, an extra session and I can't just..." "You're lying." I could literally imagine him running his slender fingers through his smooth hair as he spoke to me. He always did that whenever he was anxious. "I am not–" "Cole, I have known you for five months. You breathe differently when you're lying."There was a pause from his side before his defensive response came in. "That's not a real thing." "It is absolutely a real thing. So I am asking you what happened." "Nothing happened. I just think maybe the plan needs more...more thought, you know? More planning. Timing is everything with these kinds of..." "They got to you." I said flatly. "Ezra..." "You are genuinely the wo

EZRA'S POVThe couch was comfortable enough but the situation wasn't. I sat in the middle of it with my hands in my lap and looked at the four of them arranged around the living room. The weight was suffocating and it reminded me of those moments when I would shrink myself just to get things over and done with but I was not doing that today. Today, I held the key. I looked back at them with the same energy they were giving me and let the silence run. Lucien was on the armchair to my left, both feet on the floor for once and elbows on his knees. Caius was beside him with his hands folded. Dorian sat calmly watching me while Riven had his arms crossed and his eyes on the floor, the wall, and the ceiling, anywhere that wasn't my face. "Well," I spoke for the first time since my arrival. "I'm here and ready to listen so someone should talk." They all looked at Dorian. Of course they had to. He took a breath that was barely a breath and looked at me with a controlled expression.
