KAI POV
I was halfway through binding my chest when Summer’s ears perked up in the back of my mind.
‘Something’s happening,’ she said, barely a whisper, barely a thought.
But it wasn’t fear that hit me.
It was them.
Their scent rolled in like a storm front—rich, musky, warm. Masculine. Dangerous. Addicting.
I paused, hands still gripping the bandage against my ribcage. My breathing slowed, sharpened. My pulse jumped beneath my skin, heat creeping over my spine. Summer was alert now, but not in the way I expected.
No.
She was focused. Hungry.
I closed my eyes and tried to block them out. I’d already fried their asses once today, and gods knew they deserved it. But even then, Derrick had muttered my name like a prayer and Dalton had grinned like a devil.
Idiots.
Beautiful, reckles
