A Prey For My Enemy Together Till Dawn
I went still. The word hung between us, heavy and wrong, and I pulled back to look at his face, searching for the joke, the misunderstanding, the explanation that would make this make sense. "Family? Your family?""Not mine." His eyes opened, and the pain in them was so vast, so ancient, that I felt it in my own chest like a physical wound. "Hers."I didn't need to ask who he meant. The room. The silver brush. The brittle strands of hair. The photograph I hadn't touched, the name the maid had spat with such fury and grief. Madam. The woman whose ghost haunted these cliffs, whose presence lingered in every corner of the fortress, whose room Kain could not enter and would not explain."She had family," I said slowly, the pieces clicking together with a cold, dizzying clarity. "And they think—what? That you killed her? That you took me to replace her? What do they want, Kain?""Justice," he said, and the word was bitter, twisted, nothing like the noble concept it was supposed to be. "Ven
A Prey For My Enemy Family
The boat moved silently, cutting through the water with barely a ripple, and Kain's breathing was the only sound besides the waves. I watched his back, the breadth of his shoulders beneath the dark fabric, the way his head turned slightly every few minutes to scan the horizon, and I felt the distance between us grow even though we were inches apart. He was somewhere else. He was always somewhere else when danger came, retreating into a part of himself that I couldn't follow, a room in his mind where he kept the things he wouldn't share."You're doing it again," I said quietly.His shoulders tensed, but he didn't stop rowing. "Doing what?""Leaving me behind. Even though I'm right here."The oars paused. Just for a heartbeat. Then they resumed their rhythm, but slower now, less certain. "I'm not leaving you.""You are," I said, and my voice cracked, and I hated the weakness in it but I couldn't stop. "You're rowing this boat like you're alone in it. You're planning, calculating, prepar
A Prey For My Enemy The Light in the Dark
I stood on the balcony with Kain's hand in mine, watching the distant light flicker against the black water, and I felt the fortress around us change. Not dramatically. Not with alarms or shouts or the clash of weapons. But I felt it in the way the air grew thinner, the way the night sounds shifted, the way Kain's breathing slowed into something deeper and more controlled than sleep. He was preparing. I could feel it in the tension of his fingers, in the slight forward tilt of his shoulders, in the stillness that settled over him like a familiar coat he had never truly taken off."Kain," I said again, my voice barely audible above the waves. "Who's coming?"He didn't answer immediately. His thumb moved across my knuckles, back and forth, a small, hypnotic rhythm that felt like goodbye. Then he turned to face me, and the moonlight caught his eyes, turning them to silver, and I saw something in them that I had never seen before. Not fear. Not rage. Something worse. Resignation."Go insi
A Prey For My Enemy Don't Lie To Me
"What was that?" I asked, my heart beating a little faster."Nothing," he said, and his voice was gentle, but it was the kind of gentleness that closed doors. "Routine. The perimeter is secure."I didn't believe him. I looked at his eyes, at the way they wouldn't quite meet mine, at the tension that had returned to his jaw, and I felt the first cold finger of dread trace its way down my spine. "Kain—""Come," he said, taking my hand again, his thumb brushing my knuckles. "The sun is setting. I want to show you the view from the east balcony."The sunset was the color of bruised peaches and burnt honey, spreading across the horizon in layers of rose and gold and deepening violet. We stood side by side at the railing, his arm around my shoulders, my head resting against his chest, and for a while I let myself forget the guard, the whispered conversation, the shadow that had passed over the afternoon. The air was warm, smelling of salt and pine and the distant smoke of a cookfire, and th

"Stop it," I whispered, my face heating as we turned a corner."Stop what?" Kain asked, his voice innocent, though I knew he was anything but."They're all watching us.""They're watching you," he corrected. "They're wondering what kind of sorcery you used to make me almost smile before noon."I elbowed him in the ribs, and he caught my arm and pulled me against his side, pressing a kiss to my temple right there in the hallway where anyone could see. I heard a soft gasp from somewhere behind us, followed by a quickly stifled giggle, and I buried my face in his sweater, mortified and deliriously happy."You're embarrassing me," I mumbled."You're blushing," he said. "I like you blushing."We were in the library when he gave it to me.I had been wandering the shelves, running my fingers along the spines, pulling out volumes and putting them back, humming under my breath. Kain was at the desk, reviewing something on a tablet, his brow furrowed in concentration, but every few minutes his
A Prey For My Enemy Moments I cherish
I had insisted on helping, which was my first mistake. I had never been allowed to cook at home—my mother had believed that kitchens were for staff, and my culinary education had consisted of ordering from menus and occasionally pouring wine. But here, in this small cottage kitchen with its worn brick and wide windows, I had decided that I was going to make pancakes. How hard could pancakes be?Very hard, apparently.The batter was lumpy. The pan was too hot. The first pancake burned black on the outside while remaining raw within, and when I tried to flip the second one, it folded itself into a sad, doughy origami and stuck to the ceiling with a wet splat. I stood there, spatula in hand, staring up at the batter dripping slowly onto the counter, and I felt Kain's presence behind me before I heard him."Hidden talent number four," he said, his voice perfectly even. "Ceiling decoration."I spun around, my face burning. "You said you'd cook!""I am cooking." He nodded toward the stove,
