I stared at the ceiling long after, tracing invisible lines between the shadows.
A villain. A man willing to burn the world for me.
The thought should have scared me. Instead, it settled deep in my bones, warm and dangerous yet magnetizing in a way, drawing me closer to something I both feared and craved.
If Alek really was a villain, if he wanted me like Mia said, nothing would stand in his way. I couldn’t hide from him, and the longer I went without him, the more I wasn’t sure I wanted to.
