Rianne didn't answer.
A wave that now demanded that I dig for the truth, hoping to calm the storm.

But his grip only tightened slightly. "Rianne, be good. Don't see him again, okay?" Her breath caught. She looked up at Tempest.

When had I ever said I was oncl She looked at Victor with wide eyes, lips parted as if she wanted to speak but couldn't bring herself to.
Victor seemed to sense that she wanted to say something. His tone becicy. "What is it?" His voice was cold, sharp, and clearly impatient.
Tessa swallowed hard.
How am I supposed to ask? Should I blurt out, why was I naked when I woke up? Worse, I had seen blood on the sheets.
