NESSA'S POVBefore I could even scream at the sight of Lucian standing just a few feet away from me while I was still naked under the shower, he turned around without saying a single word and walked straight out of the bathroom. The door did not slam shut, he did not make a scene, and he didn't even look back. He just left, and the second he was gone the scream that had been stuck in my throat finally tore out of me. The sound was so loud and so raw that I almost horrified myself with how horrified I actually sounded. It bounced off the tiles and filled the small space until my own ears rang from it. My hands flew up to cover myself even though there was no one left in the room to see me, and I stood there under the running water with my heart slamming so hard I could feel it in my throat.I did not waste another second. I washed myself as fast as I could, rubbing water over my skin and through my hair in a rush that lasted no more than two minutes. I no longer cared if there was stil

Third-person POVThe minute Adrian let Nessa know that he had something to do with her predicament and she turned back around to look at him, something in his chest stung at the intense look in her eyes. He had already pegged her as an extremely prideful woman from the first hour she walked through the front door, from the way she had talked back when he called her a call girl, and from the way she had thrown dinner in their faces instead of packing her bag and leaving. Pride was written all over her. That was why the look on her face now hit him harder than he wanted it to. He could tell she was furious, but he could also tell she was almost driven to the point of tears, even if she was fighting those tears with everything she had. The combination of anger and hurt sitting in her eyes made him want to close the distance between them, rush to her side, and start apologizing before she could take another step down the stairs. His wolf pushed at him from the inside, restless and unhapp

NESSA'S POVAnna looked like I had just handed her a gift she had been waiting for all semester. She sat up straighter, pushed her tray a little to the side, and glanced at Debbie like she needed a witness for whatever she was about to say. Debbie only shook her head, already used to this version of Anna, the one that came out whenever a boy with a reputation entered the conversation. I kept my hands around my drink and waited. I had asked for everything, even the small details, and now that the question was out, I could feel how badly I wanted the answer, not because I liked them. I told myself that again, firm and clear. “Alright,” Anna said, lowering her voice even though half the cafeteria was too loud to care. “The big three. Lucian Knight, Damien Callahan, and Adrian Blackwood. If you have been on this campus for more than a year and you still did not know those names, that is honestly impressive in the worst way. They are the reason half the girls in this school lose their min

NESSA'S POVI was the last to arrive in the living room, and as soon as I showed up, all eyes turned to me. I had expected to walk in and find the nine jerks I lived with and Coach Maddox waiting in their usual places, maybe spread across the couches and the chairs with that same unfriendly silence they had been giving me since I moved in. Instead, my first quick count of the room made me stop just inside the doorway. Twelve people. Coach Maddox stood near the television with his arms folded, and around him were more bodies than I had gotten used to seeing in this house. Nine of them I recognized, two of them I did not. Putting two and two together, I realized that all the main players of the team were here. I had been wondering why only nine guys lived in the house when I expected the main players, and even some of the substitutes, to stay together. I had never gotten the chance to ask. The boys were still barely talking to me, and every time I tried to treat this place like a workpl

NESSA'S POVAfter Coach Maddox left, I didn’t sit around waiting for the boys to wake up one morning and decide they liked me. I already knew that wasn’t going to happen overnight, and one simple pep talk from their coach wasn’t going to change any of that. Even so, I made up my mind that I was going to do what I’d been hired to do. I was going to help them get better, whether they liked it or not. That was the job, and that was the only reason I still had a roof over my head. If I let their attitude stop me from working, then they’d already won, and I hadn’t come this far just to pack my bag because these arrogant football players didn’t want a woman in their house.I spent most of the night at the small desk in my room with my laptop open and a notebook beside it. I mapped out their diet plans for the week first, because food was the part I could control even if I hadn’t watched them train yet. From what I’d seen so far, their eating habits weren’t the best. Pizza on the first night
