Orion’s POV:
Broken my promise?
My heart jolted, thudding against my ribcage as if it were trying to escape. My vision blurred around the edges, ears ringing with an eerie, high-pitched static. But the look in her eyes—that was crystal clear. I could see it in full definition, as if the rest of the world had been drained of color.
Hatred.
And heartbreak.
Not the kind that screamed or lashed out. No, this was the kind that cut deeper. The kind that settled in silence and stared you down until you drowned in it.
Why is she looking at me like I’m the one drugging her?
And then it clicked.
A slow, terrifying clarity washed over me. It hadn’t settled in earlier when I smelled the powder ... .my brain was too busy with her coming onto me to even realise that she’d been distracting me.
