LUCIANOFuck. The day had been going so well until it wasn't. It had started just right with teasing Lilith and seeing how much she could take of my spontaneous actions. It felt so good licking her clean on that table when everyone else stood outside, waiting. I enjoyed the way she bucked in my arms, the way she tasted. God, I could still taste her hours after that encounter that had me bone-hard. Then on my way out, I'd been struck with the most random but tempting idea. Take her to dinner, make her feel as beautiful as she is. I wasn't sure what came over me, but I just went with it.And here we were, at the restaurant. Her beauty kept me locked in a kind of trance the whole time. At some point, it became more than just the physical. I was drawn to an aura around her I could not name. It was something beyond a pretty face and smile and frown. It was a fierce spirit…the kind I once admired in someone else. That spirit flared when I mentioned her father. I wondered if it meant anyt

QUINN“Put me down, Kallum. What the hell?”He finally listened when we got away from the chaos. He put me down after we went out the back door. The surprise had been so overwhelming that the scream came late. How did Kallum come to be in the same restaurant at the same time? As he whisked me out, I realized that this could not be a coincidence. Showing up in the midst of a shootout did not seem like a coincidence at all.“What are you doing here?” I demanded as soon as my feet hit the ground. He looked at me with wild, red-rimmed eyes. He still had that…wrong air about him. “That's not how you thank me for getting you to safety.”I heaved a sigh. “Kallum, listen, thank you. Really. But I have to get back in there, maybe find Luciano and warn him about—”“What is it about him for goodness' sake?” he cut in bluntly. “Can you not look at me for just a moment and see how much you're hurting me?”I stared at him for a moment, really looked at him. I was curious to see what had him on su

LUCIANO“What’s taking so long to find these bastards?!”“I’m sorry, boss. We're still trying to track them down.”I cursed under my breath and drove my fingers through my hair. “It's been two hours, Vale. Do you realize that she's somewhere out in there in the midst of sharks?”He tilted his head. “But we can't be sure they have her. She might have just—”I flew across the foyer between us and grabbed his throat, my fingers tightening around his core. “You must have forgotten what it's like when I'm impatient, demon,” I sneered in his face. “You wouldn't want a reminder, would you?”“I-I’m sorry,” he choked out, his eyes bulging, veins bulging in his neck and forehead. He looked like a weak puppy. The sight unsettled me for a brief moment. An ugly voice in the back of my mind whispered that I was being too hard.With an exasperated sigh, I released him with a shove. My fingers trembled as they fell to my sides. I could not exactly remember when last I crashed out this bad. But this

KALLUMI never knew how much fun I was missing out on, until I decided to go plain rogue without giving a fuck what the aftermath would be.Bashing the heads of those teenagers had been on my mind, and it would've been really fun doing that, watching them gurgle their rudeness down with their blood. But that would have been too risky. There were CCTVs everywhere, and we were so out in the public that we would immediately draw attention to ourselves. So I'd acted like a civilized fucker and kindly pleaded to have them delete my video. Finally, they've given in with a bribe of a hundred dollar bill each. The bastards would have to retch up that money sooner or later. I went away afterwards and did something else with my free will. I tracked my stepsister from when she left her husband's house together with him, all dressed up and shit, to that restaurant. I wasn't exactly sure why I was acting so out of character, but I found I enjoyed it. Thrills of excitement raced through my ches

ADRIEN“So, do you think I can approach her yet?”I whipped Roku a sharp glance, something stirring in my chest. “You will move on my orders. Stay away from her until I instruct otherwise.”Maybe it was the irritation that stemmed from not having set my eyes on the latest object of my fantasies, in the past twenty-fours hours. Or…it was the anger that stemmed from having to escort twenty dead souls across the bridge tonight.Whichever it was, I just had little to zero tolerance for any bullshit at the moment. Especially not Roku’s.I could not stand the look on his face as he spoke about approaching Quinn. He was drawn to her blood, and he would not rest until he had a taste.Our first plan had been getting Luciano portaled back to the underworld. It had worked, but the thing about Roku that put me off so bad was his cunning nature. Immediately I pulled him from the underworld, he was able to sniff out the uniqueness of Quinn's swapped soul. But he could not make a move now…not on my

QUINNTrue to Kallum's words, the drug started to slow me down really bad..I could not fight the effects of whatever he had injected me with. It made my limbs feel like jelly…and it made the world swim endlessly in my vision. When he crashed into the wall, I wondered if somehow…a savior had found me. And when the large shadow hovered over me, my heart picked up a race. It was not a shadow, per se. Even in the haze hanging over my vision, I could still tell who it was. Luciano’s familiar scent filled my nostrils, and I teared up with relief. He really came for me, even when my hope was at 1%.How did he find me? I was not sure. But he had come for me. I touched the pendant he gave to me and he showed up out of nowhere. Was this some sort of magic?It had shattered my heart that I was whisked from that restaurant…from the chaos…from him. I had my doubts about him finding me, but somewhere in the shadows, a tiny hope lurked. His big hands were on me, pulling me up to a sitting posi

LUCIANOMy heart had almost split right from my chest when I saw what the bastard did to her. The red swelts on the skin of her beautiful, round ass infuriated me. It turned out that Kallum Montclair might just be more batshit crazy than I ever imagined.Kidnapping her. Bringing her over to a hidden BDSM den in the middle of no-fucking-where. Burning her skin with candle-fucking-wax. Almost penetrating into her sweet warm walls. Who knows what else he could have done before I got there?I'd felt an overwhelming urge to end him right there and then. But something stopped me. I still wasn't able to figure it out. I couldn't tell if it was the look in her eyes. Or the fierce spirit in her that reminded me too much of my other nemesis, Quinn. I couldn't tell if it was the little voice of reason that found a place in my head, these days. I just could not help this weakness that overwhelmed me these days. I hated it. Hated the way the sleek talons pulled me deeper and deeper into useless

ADRIENThe new plan was pretty simple. It helped even better that Lilith was desperate. Judging from the way she followed me like a lost sheep to the hospital where Quinn was admitted, I could tell she really would do anything. Just how strong was this love between step siblings? Or was this pure sick lust?Apparently, she seemed to know that she hung in the balance between life and death. But she was not willing to tumble over to the side she considered darkness, just because she wanted to come back to her lover. Heh. Humans were such fickle species. They were cursed with emotions. Emotions that delude them into foolish decisions. Before I sent her soul into Quinn’s body, I asked her again to be sure that she really wanted to do this. Because the moment she crossed that line, there was no going back. Things would get really messy from here onwards. So, I decided to do a bit of testrun to see how interesting things would be. I swapped Lilith’s soul back into her body and sent Qui

QUINNThe tension hung sharp between brothers, thick enough enough to slice through. I watched them silently, my thudding heart the only sound in the room. I had enough on my plate already, with feeling like there was a huge memory lapse somewhere in this body. But I did not mind being curious about a bit more drama. Especially if it involved the two men who made me feel things I'd never felt before…men whose very closeness set me on fire. “Just keep your business out of my house,” Luciano’s voice was menacing, dripping ice. “Or I'll be kicking you right back to where you belong.”Adrien seemed more laid-back, but I could feel the tension coming off him in waves of some pretty bad energy. What the fuck was up with these men? What was the rift between them all about? Why would Luciano stab his own brother without feeling a thing?My eyes trailed to Adrien's hand on the blood-soaked table. To my horror, the gaping injury seemed to be closing up already. Right. Supernatural thing. A

LUCIANO“What good is poison to a pure soul?”Adrien's question kept replaying in my head the whole time. It was on my mind when I got on the phone with Vale. It was on my mind when I went out to the parking lot and got in the car that Vale had prepared. Something about Lilith nagged in the back of my mind. I could not tell what it was. But one question rang clear in my head.Was she really a pure soul like Adrien had called her? What did he even know about my wife?I was the one who knew my wife. I also knew that the woman who was on my bed with her legs sprawled when I returned to my bedroom last night, was not the wife I'd gotten to know over the past few days.No—That was someone else. But watching her at breakfast, she seemed aloof as fuck. Did she even remember what transpired between us last night?“Fuck!” I slammed my fist against the car horn. Agitation tore through me in tumultuous waves. Why did this seem like a helpless situation? Why could I not figure out whatever w
