The humid morning air tasted like cheap ambition, but nothing felt better than stepping out of the car & seeing that my old kingdom hadn't changed a bit, my gaze locked onto the main gates, & my smirk sharpened. Jace & Reid were standing there false kings & right between them was the little prize I’d been hearing about all summer—ZoRayuh. From a distance, she was a tiny, gorgeous little thing, but the way they hovered around her made her a thousand times more interesting The second she turned & disappeared into the main hall, I stepped out from the shade, clapping my hands in a slow, rhythmic beat that cut right through the morning chatter Well, well, well. I drawled, watching both of their postures instantly go rigid. I love that reaction; it’s the exact moment they realize the fun is over. my eyes locked onto Jace before sliding over to Reid I leave for a year & come back to find my old shadows have over reached their stations. Is that the new toy? She’s cute, boys. A bit high-end for you two, don't you think. I watched Reid’s fists curl & Jace’s eyes go completely dead, & it took everything in me not to laugh out loud. They thought they owned this place now. They thought they could keep her safe. They have no idea that I’m going to make that girl fall completely in love with me, dismantle her piece by piece, & leave her in absolute ruins just to remind them who actually wears the crown Welcome me back, boys. I think I’ve just found my new favorite game.
