Celine’s pov.

Yet, even as I fought against the dummy, Kaine's likeness haunted me. Had he been telling me the truth about his feelings, or were they simply flirtations used to coax intimacy? Whenever he said he couldn't stop thinking of me, was it just another one of his tricks? The way he looked at me, the inflections in his voice—were they real, or was it all merely a facade played out in front of me to cause desire?

The answers eluded me like shadows slipping through my fingers. But there was a part of me that relished the thrill I felt around him. Giving him my body had become something enjoyable, intoxicating even, though I had never intended for it to lead me here, tangled in confusion.

Breathless from my physical exertion, I finally leaned against the dummy, hoping to expel the doubts that clouded my judgement. Was there something real brewing beneath all the chaos? What Kaine said played back in my mind like an endless loop. Each word lingered, teasing me with what might be.

    Kaine’s pov. I stormed into my quarters, my heart pounding with a chaotic mixture of anger and betrayal. I knew Tess would follow me, and sure enough, as I stepped through the threshold and the door swung open behind me, I could already hear her footsteps echoing through the corridor. “Kaine!” Her voice pierced through the silence of the room, a sharp reminder of the tension that had filled the air just moments earlier. “Why did you walk out like that? My father was there!” Tess exclaimed, her tone a blend of disbelief and anger. She crossed her arms, a defensive posture I had seen far too many times. The rage I had bottled up since the beginning of the dinner suddenly erupted like a volcano, blinding me to everything but the girl before me—the girl I had once loved. I didn’t want to hurt her, but I was too furious to think clearly. Before I could process my actions, I found my hands wrapping around her neck, pushing her against the cold, hard wall.“Oww!” she cried out, the surpr

    Kaine’s pov. I studied her, searching for any sign of the girl I once knew. All I saw was someone fighting to hold onto a memory that was better left in the past. “I have let go, Tess! You’re the one clinging on. You’re not a victim here.” My words were harsh, but I felt them deep inside as though they were laced with the truth.The confusion and pain on her face melted my resolve, but I couldn’t back down. I wouldn’t. “You need to accept it. I’m not your Kaine anymore. You need to stop trying to make me feel guilty for moving on.”“Stop!” she shouted, her voice cutting through the air. “You really don’t think I wanted this to happen? That I would throw everything away for some silly rivalry?” Her eyes burned with frustration, and I felt an ache of regret crawling up my spine. “This isn’t just about us. This is about the future, about making decisions that matter.”“What future?” she snapped. “Your future without me?”“I’m trying to have a future without the ghost of what we used to

    Celine’s pov. I lay on the bed, the fabric cool and smooth against my skin, but it did little to soothe the storm brewing in my heart. What an eventful evening it had been. Did Kaine really get mad because Tess called me a maid? A part of me wanted to laugh, but the other was too caught up in the whirlwind of confusion that surrounded my emotions. My mind raced. What exactly was happening to me? I had sworn I hated Kaine, ever since the fateful moment he traded me for a secret, ripping away any semblance of control I had over my own life. He had taken me hostage, thrown me into a world I never wished to be a part of, with the weight of his title hanging over me like a dark cloud. Every encounter with him felt like a battle between my instincts and my desires. But now? Now, perhaps somewhere deep inside, that venomous hatred began to fade, blurring into something alarmingly akin to yearning. I hated the realization, hated the way it twisted my stomach into knots. Was I really starti

    Celine’s pov. The words seemed magic in their simplicity and weight. What would life be like once I stepped over the threshold of that luxurious villa? Would I still feel like an outsider, or would I find my place beside him? Shaking my head to dispel the lingering thoughts, I started moving around the room. I stuffed clothes into a suitcase, my mind racing as I tried to make sense of my emotions. Why did this matter to me so much? Perhaps it was the possibility that I could find solace more than anything else. I had a chance to carve out my own space, to navigate this world with Kaine as my unlikely companion. The thought filled me with both dread and excitement, a dangerous cocktail that burned in my chest. It wouldn’t be easy, but what in life ever was? I owed it to myself to find out what lay on the other side of that door—what could be formed if I let my walls come down, at least for a moment. After what felt like eternity, I zipped up the suitcase decisively, determination w

    Celine’s pov. He set the glass down on the small table beside the hearth with a soft clink. Then, slowly, deliberately, he reached for my waist and pulled me to him—not roughly, not like the wild, volatile Kaine I’d grown used to, but with a kind of reverence that unnerved me more than any snarl ever could.I didn’t resist.My body betrayed me the moment his fingers touched the small of my back. The air left my lungs in a shaky exhale, and I tilted my head back just slightly, instinctively, like my body knew what was coming.“I want you to stop pretending,” he murmured, voice low, rich, and fraying at the edges. “Like you don’t lie awake thinking about the way I touch you. Like your body doesn’t burn when I’m near.”His thumb brushed the skin just beneath the hem of my shirt. Barely there. But it was enough to make my knees soften.“I don’t—” I started, but the words were weak. Hollow.“Liar,” he whispered, and his mouth descended on mine.It wasn’t gentle.It wasn’t asking.It was c

    Celine’s pov. The words wrecked me.He leaned back just enough to pull the shirt over my head, eyes darkening as he took in the sight of me. His hands followed his gaze, gliding over my chest, fingers teasing the edge of my bra before tugging the straps down. I arched up toward him, unable to help it.“Tell me you want this,” he said, voice suddenly low, tight, like he was holding himself back with every ounce of strength he had.“I do,” I breathed, and it wasn’t just lust behind the words. It was surrender. Full, raw, terrifying surrender.And that was all it took. The tension between us shattered.Kaine kissed me again, but this time there was no restraint. His mouth was hot and hungry, his hands everywhere—cupping, gripping, dragging me deeper into the moment. His shirt came off in seconds, and the feel of his bare skin against mine made me gasp into his mouth.He moved down, mouth trailing over my collarbone, down my chest, teeth grazing just enough to make me writhe.

His fingertips grazed my skin like he was afraid of hurting me now, as if his roughness from earlier had been stored away, tucked into the shadows.When he was done, he reached for the water, lifting it to my lips. “Drink.”I didn’t argue. My throat was dry, and I needed something to ground me. I drank slowly, his hand steady at the back of my neck. When I was finished, he set the glass aside and slid into the bed beside me, pulling me into his chest with no hesitation.Just… holding me.I rested my head against his bare chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. His fingers traced slow circles over my back, and the warmth of his body bled into mine until I stopped shaking. Until I felt safe.“Kaine…” I whispered.He didn’t answer at first. His hand came to rest at the back of my head, holding me there, like he needed me close just as much as I needed him.“I’m here,” he said f

She glanced in my direction briefly, her face carefully neutral, but I saw the flicker in her eyes.Recognition. My heart sank.I took a shaky breath and finally forced myself to keep moving. I needed answers. Or at the very least, I needed to find Kaine and yell at him for not warning me about the twenty people apparently living inside this house.The kitchen was empty, save for the smell of fresh coffee and something baking. Kaine was nowhere in sight. Neither was Matthias or anyone else familiar.Where the hell did he go? And why didn’t he tell me this place wasn’t as private as he made it seem?I leaned against the counter, chewing my lip, trying to ignore the echo of last night still rippling through my bones.

    Celine’s pov. The walk back to the villa was longer than usual. Not in distance—but in weight.The words Matthias had thrown at me echoed louder with every step. I told myself I didn’t care. That I’d heard worse. That nothing could rattle me after everything I’d done to hold Bloodfang together. But somehow, his voice still lingered.“You don’t ask for loyalty. You demand it.”The wind bit at my jaw as I turned the final corner leading to the private gates. The guards stood straight, stiff as statues as I passed. They didn’t dare speak—not to me. Not now.I slammed the villa door shut behind me and leaned against it for a breath. The house was silent again, spotless, polished. Whatever traces of last night were left had been wiped clean by the staff. As if it never happened.Except… I could still smell her. Still feel her. Her laughter. Her voice gasping my name. The way her body had curled into mine after.I looked up toward the stairs, toward where I’d left her this morning. I shoul
