CAIDY ELLIS POINT OF VIEW"You want me to keep my distance from him?" I asked, although I already knew the answer. I could see it in Malakai's face, in the way his jaw stayed tight and his eyes followed every little reaction I gave him. "Is that what this is about?"He didn't answer right away. His stare remained fixed on me, so intense that I almost shifted beneath it. There was something different in his eyes now. His usual coldness was still there, but it was mixed with something I couldn't quite understand. Something darker. More personal.Jealousy.The realization made my stomach twist.I had never seen Malakai look at me like this before. He had always made it clear that he didn't want me. He barely tolerated my presence, and most of the time, I could feel his resentment even when he said nothing. So why did he suddenly care who stood beside me? Why did Sylas bother him so much when Malakai had spent so long acting like I meant nothing to him

MALAKAI VOLKARIS POINT OF VIEW I drew in a long, shaky breath and let the smoke fill my lungs until they burned. It should have cleared my head, but it did the opposite. Sylas’s words from earlier came back to me, sharper than before. Our brothers are also infatuated with Caidy. They were looking at her… they were starting to see what I had tried so hard not to see myself.I slowly turned my head toward Lucien and studied his face. I hated that I had to ask him this. I hated even more that some part of me already knew the answer. The thought of another man looking at Caidy the way I did made something dark twist inside my chest.“You have to be honest with me, Lucien,” I said. My voice came out low and hard, and I could hear the warning underneath it.Lucien raised a brow. He looked almost amused, but his eyes stayed on mine. “When have I ever lied to you?”I took another

MALAKAI VOLKARIS POINT OF VIEW "Maybe you’re feeling all this attraction because she's the only woman we've had around for so long. We're always with her, so of course we're going to notice her. Maybe we're just reacting because she's there all the time."Knoxx paused, then gave us a look like he had already figured out the solution. "You know what we should do? Go back to how we used to live. Stop hovering around Caidy all the damn time and start seeing other women again. We could go out, have a little fun, and remind ourselves that there are other women in the world. Maybe once we indulge a little, whatever this obsession is will disappear on its own." Hearing him reduce what we felt—what I felt—to nothing more than being starved of female attention made something dark twist in my chest. I clenched my jaw and looked away, because the worst part was that I wanted to believe him. If Knoxx was right, then there was an easy an

CAIDY ELLIS POINT OF VIEW My shoulders felt like they were actively trying to detach themselves from my collarbones.I winced and rolled my left shoulder, but the movement sent a sharp pain straight down my spine. I immediately stopped and rubbed the sore spot, wondering why I had ever agreed to go all-out against Evren during sparring. Note to self: never do that again unless I wanted to spend the rest of the day feeling like I'd been hit by a freight train. My shoulder had been hurting since morning, and the dull ache had only gotten worse. Every breath seemed to make it throb a little harder.I dragged myself toward Sylas's room, hoping the resident healer was around. Maybe he could at least do something about the pain before I completely lost my mind. When I reached his door, though, the room was pitch-black and empty. Of course. Apparently, the brothers had some kind of "commitment" tonight t

CAIDY ELLIS POINT OF VIEW “Knoxx? Knoxx, please… please, open the door. Please! I’m not joking.”My voice is already raw, but I keep screaming anyway. I don't care that my throat hurts or that every word comes out cracked. I need someone to hear me. I need someone to know that I'm here. The room is completely dark, so dark that I can't even see my own hands when I hold them in front of my face. There is no light beneath the door, no window, nothing that tells me where I am. Just darkness pressing against me from every direction.“Knoxx! Please, I’m begging you!”I slam both hands against the door until my palms sting, then grab the handle and twist it again and again. It doesn't move. The lock doesn't even rattle.
