Catalina let out a slow breath. “He’s going to be really angry that no one told him.”
“I don’t care,” I told them. “Jameson cannot know about her yet. He’ll take over everything.”
It would be over once he found out who she was—and what happened. Plus, the fact that she still had unknown medical conditions…
Bianca wouldn’t have any say at all. At least the fae cared about how she felt.
Jameson, on the other hand, didn’t care about feelings.
“Julian—” Mom started.
“Give me two weeks,” I interrupted. “I’ll try to convince her.”
Mom studied me, expression unreadable.
“You have two weeks,” she finally said. “No more.”
Catalina let out a sharp breath but didn’t argue. “And what do you want me to do?”
“Stand by for now,” Mom replied. “Just in case earlier intervention is needed.”
Catalina scoffed. “You shouldn’t wait.”
I turned toward the door. Two weeks. That was all I had.
Already, I knew the truth.
It wouldn’t be long enough.

Titus POV
Bryce was standingby the exit. He looked towards the parking lot, reluctance thick in the air, and asked, “What happened? I wasn’t sure if I should go after her or if she’d kill me.”
“She’d kill you.” I cracked my knuckles.
Iwanted to kill him.
We knew this would come up eventually, but I hated that Bryce was the one to do it.
“Titus?” Bryce stepped back.
“Go home.” I didn’t have the right to confront her alone—it really should be all of us—but what other choice did I have?
And technically, this was my fault.
‘Isn’t that why everyone decided to ruin my life?’
She’d been angry when she said that, but there was no missing the pain there either.
Or the truth.
Which was also the reason why I had to be the one to go after her.
“Don’t let Damen see you,” I warned as I pushed past him. “He’s going to be less than happy with how this turned out.”
Murderous was more like it.
