Caius' Pov
The Halloween party had ended in chaos, and my head was still reeling from everything that happened. Riven's strange disappearance before the party, Miri's growing unease, the moment we found him—kissing a girl who wasn't in our mate bond—and then the sheer disaster that followed when Miri confronted him…
I'd thought I'd seen everything when it came to Riven. He was irritating, reckless, cocky, shameless, and sometimes unbearably smug. But he was also steady in his devotion to me and Miri, protective to the point of stubbornness, and fiercely loyal. Never—not once—had it crossed my mind that he would betray us like that. And yet, there it was. Him, lips on someone else's, in plain view of half the party.
