"I know we broke up, but.., " he whispers in my ear, trailing his finger lightly along my arm. He places a soft kiss on my collarbone, making a shiver course through me.
He tilts his head so he's staring straight into my eyes. His pupils dilate as...

Gray's POV
After dropping Zyair off at another hospital, I head over to Kayden's headquarters. My determination was fierce. I needed to put an end to everything once and for all. Kayden called earlier and said he had new information about Enzo. I hoped that it was precisely what I needed he had- an edge over Luca. My eyes flicker to the USB I got from Jay before he died- I had something for him too.
I dial Dove's number again, tapping my icy fingers on the steering wheel. Agitated when she doesn't pick, I switch to Ashley's cell but end up with the same results.
Turning my gaze out, the sun is setting- its bright orange glow hovering above the horizon in the distance. Tightening my grip on the steering wheel, I floor the pedal- even though I didn't think it could get any lower-, propelling me further into my seat.
Ignoring all traffic signs, I jolt the car forward. I couldn't care less if the police were on my trail. As expected, I get to Kayden's headquarters at a record time.
I'm walking into Kayden's office when Aaron calls. I swipe and answer. "Yes?"
"God, Thank God you're okay," Aaron sighs dramatically. "I saw the news about the fire, and Dove's number wasn't going through-"
I take in a sharp breath at the mention of her name. I was prepared to kill both Luca and Fawn if they so much as hurt a hair on her head. I wasn't going to let it slide this time.
"Is Dove okay?" Aaron's voice is lower.
It killed me that I didn't know the definite answer to that question, but I sure hope for their sake that she was.
"Luca has her."
"How? She was with you a few hours ago?" Aaron asks.
"I can't explain this over the phone. Meet me at Kayden's office," I end the call at the same moment my eyes meet Kayden's. He gestures towards his office with his head, and I follow suit.
"Take a candy. Have a drink, " Kayden says, settling on his chair, his hands grazing over the candy jar on his table.
"I have a favor to ask you," I ignore his previous comment, placing my hands on his desk. "They took her again."
"They?" Kayden folds his arms, leaning on his desk. "Luca and Enzo?"
I nod. "Can you look up the name Fawn Welts?"
"Fawn Welts?" Kayden raises his brows, typing on his computer. "That name sounds oddly familiar. Who is she?"
"She's a friend to my girlfriend, but I think she might be involved with Luca," I explain, shaking my legs impatiently on the ground.
"Yes! Luca! That's where I know her from," Kayden explains, jolting from his seat. He turns his laptop to me. "She's his sister."
On his screen was a picture of a young girl I had never seen before. She had short red hair, visibly tan skin, green eyes, and looked like someone who'd come out from a Peter Pan movie.
