TEMPORARY MATES, PERMANENT CRAVINGS Two hundred and fifty five
Evangeline POV Kade's words, Trust us, kept echoing in my head.Trusting them would mean killing them. If all of this were over, and the Meridian finally got what they wanted from me, Kade would be glad he hadn't tangled himself in something that would ruin his life forever. His bravery would get him killed within hours if I didn't keep my mouth shut.Cameron had looked at me, searching my face for signs of the cult's conditioning, as if he himself wasn't already a Meridian target. I was heading to the bathroom to empty my bladder when I spotted a midnight-black ribbon tied around the doorknob. The fabric carried the choking smell of grave dirt. I leaned closer, and the metallic stench of rotting blood filled my nose. It was the psychic calling card of a cult execution, not my panties, or whatever I'd left hanging there carelessly.My teeth chattered as I tried to untie the knot with shaking fingers. But the ribbon felt unnaturally heavy, sticking to my skin like wet tar until I g

Evangeline POV The persistent knock made me groan as I wondered which servant was at my door. Food was the last thing on my mind. How could I eat when my own life now had an expiration date?I remained silent, staring at the ceiling, knowing whoever was knocking would eventually leave. Then I heard an oddly familiar voice."Evangeline, open up. It's me."I sat up.Kade.I wrapped my robe around myself and crossed the room, opening the door just enough to look at him."What are you doing here?"He wore a grin, unfazed by the frown I was giving him."I was in the neighborhood," he said."You shouldn't be here. Cameron doesn't like visitors coming in without his permission.""I got permission. I came from his office."His grin widened. I bit my lip to stop myself from blurting out what I really wanted to say: to fuck off, go home, and keep his nosy self away from whatever was happening to me."Kade, please go home.”He leaned against the doorframe, looking far too comfortable."When di

Cameron POVThe house had gone quiet after Evangeline stopped filling the empty spaces. She hardly came downstairs anymore, and at mealtimes she barely touched her food before pushing the plate away. Before finding out who she really was, I would've thought she was sick again. Now I didn't know what I was looking at.Sometimes I'd find her staring through the sitting room window. A maid would call her name, and she'd flinch before turning, like she'd forgotten where she was. Dark circles settled beneath her eyes. She drifted through the upstairs hallway without speaking, then wandered into the garden with nowhere to go. I watched it happen and couldn't make sense of any of it."Is she losing her mind?" Nadia asked as we stood behind a pillar, watching Evangeline disappear into her room."I almost feel sorry for her," she muttered, then snorted. "She should at least tell us what she did before she completely loses her mind.""That's unlikely," I said."Why?""She could be trying to

Lisa POV Harry looked up as I came down the stairs. He squinted and leaned forward hard enough that I stopped."What?""So when do you start floating?"I stared at him, trying to work out what he meant.He burst out laughing."Come on, Lisa, don't be a killjoy. You've joined an ancient secret order." He glanced at the ceiling and flapped his arms. "I expected glowing eyes by breakfast and levitation after lunch."I laughed."You'll be disappointed.""What a scam."Kieran laughed from across the room."I'm just saying, if someone tells me they survived a terrifying initiation beneath an underground labyrinth, I'm expecting at least one supernatural side effect.""If sore feet count, then chalk that in."I smiled, but it didn't last. Every step made me aware of the weight I carried, and exhaustion sat deep in my bones.My phone buzzed.Pack your bags and get to the chapter house immediately. Your protection begins today."What does that even mean?" I groaned, looking at Mom.Kieran gav

Evangeline POV "Are you at least going to give me an inkling of what is going on?" Kade said after settling into the passenger seat. He waited for me to speak. "What has she dragged you into?"My stomach tightened. I kept my eyes on the windshield."Do you need my help?" he asked. "Do you need saving?"A laugh almost slipped out.If only it were that simple.I looked at him and shook my head."Well, I don't believe you."I shrugged."Whether you like it or not, I'm helping you. This isn't you."I looked away.The last thing I wanted was for my brother to get involved. We weren't particularly close, but I'd rather die than watch him cross paths with the people who had used me and thrown me away."I'll be fine," I said. "Don't worry about me.""That's not how siblings work."Silence filled the car. My fingers traced the steering wheel."Is this about Cameron? Or politics?"I said nothing."Fine. Give me something. Is there anyone hurting you? Is there something I should be looking for?

Evangeline POV The pounding headache I woke up to the next morning eclipsed anything I had ever experienced. It felt as though someone had packed my skull with bricks. Even lifting my head took effort. Memories from the night before crashed into me. I sniffed my hands, then my clothes. The smell was gone. I dragged myself out of bed and stood in front of the mirror. My face had returned to normal, but the scratches across my face and arms remained. I traced one with my fingertips. It had happened. I had clawed at my own skin. Heat climbed into my chest as everything came back. I needed to see my mother.I grabbed the first dress I found. It looked decent enough. I brushed my hair, got into my car, and drove straight to my parents' house.My mother was in the middle of her usual morning meeting with the trade union. I walked in without knocking."We need to talk. Now."Every head turned toward me. A few faces showed surprise."Honey, we're having a meeting. Go upstairs and wait.""No.

NadiaAlpha Kieran’s call ended without making me feel any better. He kept saying he was handling things, help was coming, and Cameron would be fine.I wanted to believe him. Instead, I lay awake staring at the ceiling, dreading another nightmare that would drag me out of sleep, sweating and angry.
