Chapter 105: Trapped by Loss

Kai’s P.O.V   Night rushed over to my side, his grip on me tightened, his fingers digging into my arm as though letting go would mean that he would completely lose his mind. I could feel his fear seeping into me, making my heart race in sync with his. Rosalie’s scream had cut through the air like a sharp and annoyingly loud siren. Her voice echoed down the hallway, piercing and shrill, and I knew it would draw attention. And it did. Within moments, Night’s parents appeared at the doorway, eyes wide with confusion and rage. Rosalie’s parents followed closely behind, their faces a mix of shock and dawning realization as they took in the scene before them—their daughter looking disheveled, barely clothed, and me standing before Night as the unwanted trespasser. Jonathan’s gaze locked onto mine, and I felt pinned under the sheer force of his glare, but I tried not to let it show that he intimidated me; he was just a man, after all. And I wasn’t going to back down this time, come what may.
