Chapter 30 Sorting Business

• Demitri POV
• Leaving Alissia with Lucas was hard. There was something in Lucas’s eyes, a glint of amusement, like he had a plan—something he wasn’t telling me. But I left, trusting she would be fine. Still, it didn’t sit right. Not with the way she looked at him, not with the way Lucas seemed to thrive on her attention. I should have stayed, but I didn’t.
• When I return, Axel is waiting for me, leaning casually against the wall, his arms crossed and an amused smirk on his face.
