“Some of you must’ve forgotten my rules. Let me remind you.” He swept the room with a cold, furious glare. “Rule number one: We do not hurt or exploit innocent women or children. I don’t care what the excuse is. There is no justification.” “Rule number two: You don’t raise a hand against or attack another Familia member without my or Mario’s direct approval. Ever.”

Thankfully, it is empty. As I look around, I notice it isn’t merely empty; it looks unlived in. “Don’t you have a roommate?” He smiles, but the smile resembles pain, not joy. “Nope.” Everyone has to have a roommate. It’s one of Aton’s rules that no one should be alone. I can only grunt, “Hmm.” I pluck the bottle from his grip, setting it on the table. The photo of me and Timothy kissing flashes in my mind, accusingly, and I push it away.

“Polite looks a lot like invitation when you’re wearing that dress.” My grip on the sheet tightened. “So I should’ve what? Scowled? Caused a scene?” He stopped just in front of me, so close I could feel the heat radiating from his body. “You should’ve remembered the rules.” I swallowed hard. “You mean your rules.” “They’re the only ones that matter to you now.” His tone didn’t waver. “You don’t smile at other men. You don’t give them your time. And you sure as hell don’t let them think they have a chance.”

Not that I really objected to the idea. There was a liquor store across the street from the motel. This was sounding better and better. "Okay, you talked me into it." I said. "One rule though, and that's you only drink as much as I say you can. The first couple will be free, but after that I'm going to want to make sure you're not going to get sick on me." "Deal!"

“Name’s Sinclair. You can call me Sin. You kiss your mother with that mouth?” “Hell no.” His lip twitched in response. There was a group of young men behind him, and holy fuck, I was pretty sure there were strict rules to being a part of their little club. Rule number one: Must be drop-dead gorgeous. Rule number two: Must be above six feet tall. Rule number three: Must be a badass.

"Or are you going to stand here and gossip all day?" ​Miss Sofia flinches. "I am sorry, Mrs. Angela." She quickly puts the soup on a tray. ​As Miss Sofia tries to pass her, Mrs. Angela hold her arm hard. ​ "Remember your place, Sofia," Mrs. Angela says, her voice low and dangerous. "You must not say anything about Mr. Blake. It is against the rules biding we the servants. Remember that if you want to keep your job." "Y-yes, Mrs. Angela." Miss Sofia

As if we belong at the bottom of the food chain. “Why should everything follow the rules of werewolves and vampires?” I snap. “What about humans?” Both men turn to me. No judgment in their eyes. Just curiosity. We’re in Officer Puri’s office, away from the bustle. “Humans have their own rules,” Gerald says. His voice is calm. Patient. “Rules in the books. Break them, and we pay.” He isn’t angry. He’s only explaining, like a teacher walking a student through hard truth.

“I’m not stupid. Something’s going on here. The others — they walk like they’re carrying glass inside them. Felix flinches when a door shuts. Marco cries in his sleep. I’ve seen it. This ain’t just about car washes and burgers.” “You’re right. It’s not.” “Then tell me.” Jaylen hesitated. Then he lowered his voice. “There are rules. Not the ones taped to the break room wall — the real ones! The ones that keep you alive.” “I’m listening.” He said. "The House Rules!" Rule One: Don’t Get Too Comfortable. “You might think you’re safe here. You’re not. You’re tolerated — for now. Boss picks who stays and who vanishes. It ain’t about your work ethic or charm. It’s about how well you bend without br

Ava’s POV There were only a few rules I lived by in college. Rule number one? Never fall for a jock. It wasn’t just a personal preference. It was survival; I had to avoid them in order to do well.
