Ashes, Ashes

My life has never been mine. Not really.
Every step I’ve taken, every choice I’ve made—it was never about what I wanted. It was a script written before I even knew how to speak, a path paved in expectation and legacy. The right schools, the right friends, the right future. A cage dressed up as extravagant wealth . I’ve spent years suffocating under the weight of it, trapped in a life that’s been decided for me.
Enter Jaxon Knox, tearing through the carefully constructed walls of my world as if he was always meant to.
And he’s not alone.
His brothers follow.
Kaios Knox and Nyx Leone, shadow and fire, unmaking everything I thought I was certain of. With them, nothing is simple. The lines blur—between safety and danger, right and wrong, freedom and control.
Because resisting them feels like a battle I’m already losing. They look at me as if I belong to them—as if I was always theirs. Something dark and reckless inside me screams to surrender.
And maybe….I want to.
I should run. I should fight harder to hold onto the life I understand. But the more the truth finds its way to the light, the more I realize I never understood anything at all.
And that might be the most dangerous truth of all.
