Even that annoying smile of hers remained in place. “You call that a punch?” There was something slightly unhinged about her laugh that had me creeping closer. She kicked man-bun in the gut hard enough to send him keeling over, then placed a second kick to nose. Even from the rooftop, I could hear
Lilac was walking down the sidewalk, humming her tune with her head trained forwards. Everything was exactly the same, but with one minor change. This time around, I was the one hunting Lilac. The song she hummed was cut short as she realized she was dreaming. She faltered in her steps, turning he
Lilac’s P.O.V. I shot up out of bed with a snarl, my legs carrying me into the bathroom where I flicked on the lights with a shaky hand. They were shitty, barely illuminating the five-by-five box that was barely big enough for a small toilet, sink, and a shower stall that only worked half of the ti

Nox’s P.O.V. “Nox, I’m going to need you and Jeremy to head on over to my office.” My father’s voice flooded the gym, emanating from my cellphone. I’d set it on the bench while I worked out and had quickly answered in between reps. Once I finished the set, I dropped the bar with its weights onto t
