Kaz X Inej Novels & Stories

He looked furious at whoever taught me to hate myself. "You aren't dead weight," Kol said quietly. "You're the absolute centre of gravity in this entire house. We stop breathing when you leave the room." Kaz didn't look away from my face. He stayed still on the rug. "You want to know exactly what we see?" Kaz asked softly. I gave a tiny, jerky nod.

His eyes are already back on me, locked there with an intensity that makes breathing feel like something I have to think about. I press my nails into my palms, grounding myself in the sting. Don’t think. “This is Tessa Thorne,” Kaz says, turning slightly toward me. “My bride-to-be.” Bride-to-be. The words land like a slap, and I watch Ezra’s face carefully for any crack in the surface—anger, surprise, the faintest flicker of recognition that mirrors even a fraction of what’s tearing through me right now.
