Another man approached.

He shot Kaden a narrow-eyed look before looking at me. His hair was white, his skin was pale, his wings were gossamer, and his eyes were multicolored in a way that made me feel like he was staring into my soul.

“Hello, Molly Maye,” he said. “I am Oren.”

“Hi.” Something about him made me uncomfortable, but I wasn’t about to say that aloud. Seemed like a sure-fire way to get him to the end.

Two more guys joined the group.

They were polite, but I forgot their names as quickly as they said them. Neither of them creeped me out, at least.

Kaden was chatting to me about his house—a huge beach house, which was truly ironic considering how he’d introduced himself—when I heard one of the other guys call out,

“Did you survive the dogpile, Cam?”

My body stiffened.

It couldn’t be my Cam.

…Could it?

He chuckled.

The sound was so familiar, it sent goosebumps down my arms.

“Didn’t bother going near it,” he said.

I spun around, cutting Kaden off entirely.

My brown eyes collided with a pair of familiar greens. It was Cameron, but… different.

Fae.

Really fae.

His horns were massive, his thick, golden wings spread out behind him. All he had on was a pair of basketball shorts instead of his usual joggers. His lack of a shirt revealed a few tattoos on his chest and shoulder that I’d never seen before.

“Cameron?”

I wasn’t sure whether to be stunned or angry. Either way, it caught me off guard.

“Hey, Lolli.” He flashed me a grin.

It was easier-going than the last one I’d gotten.

Lazier.

The words and tone settled my uncertainty.

I was stunned, but I was furious.

“What the hell are you doing here?” I demanded. “Did you know you were coming before I left?”

“I did.” He gave me a playful grimace. “Sorry.”

My anger rose.

Three more guys joined us, and though they were bleeding, I barely noticed them. Definitely didn’t greet them.
