His breath was hot against her skin, eyes wild with everything he hadn't said in six years. "You drive me fucking insane, Deyna. You always have. And the worst part? I'd still burn the world for you." Deyna's heart pounded, but her voice was ice. "You think that's love? Burning everything down and expecting me to stand in the flames with you?" His gaze dropped to her lips, just for a second. "No," he murmured. "I think it's obsession. And I've never been good at letting go." " And trust me, I don't want you to break," he whispered darkly. "I want you to bend... for me." Their lips almost touched dangerously close when a phone rang, slicing the moment in two like a blade. He didn't answer. He couldn't. Not when every part of him was screaming to finish what they started. One vanished. One rules the underworld. Both are closer than they appear.

A woman Xavier has sworn to destroy. As hidden identities, betrayals, and bloodlines begin to unravel, two worlds are on the brink of collision.
