Chapter 184

Logan POV

For the first time in weeks, it’s me when I wake up.

No growling.

No barked threats.

No pressure pounding behind my eyes like War’s trying to crack my skull open from the inside out.

Just... silence.

And the soft, steady beat of someone else’s heart.

Hers.

Alyssa’s curled in King’s arms on the bed across from me, her new red hair spilling over the pillow like a halo—serene, weightless. Like even in all this chaos, she still thinks he’s her peace.

It makes me fucking sick.

That calm on her face? It should be because of me.

Jealousy burns under my skin like acid.

My fingers twitch. It’d be so easy—grab the keys off the dresser, scoop her into my arms, and vanish before anyone even notices she’s gone.

I’d take her somewhere quiet. Somewhere safe.

Somewhere no one could ever take her from me again.

Somewhere where she forgets them.

Learns to need me.

Learns to love me.<
