LENA'S POV
Sanctions and Surprises
The morning sun filters through the curtains of the clinic, casting soft golden hues over the walls. The light offers little comfort as I sit at the desk in the back room, staring at the notebook we uncovered last night. My fingers hover over its frayed edges, the weight of its contents making my chest feel tight. Names, dates, and betrayals leap off the pages, painting a picture of a community torn apart by greed and manipulation.
Itâs not just about Reyes anymore. This goes deeper, twisting its way through Portside Bay like an insidious vine, suffocating everything it touches. The revelations gnaw at me, digging into my gut, the betrayal cutting so deeply that it feels like itâs rooted in the very soil Iâve come to call home. This town, this place thatâs meant so much to me, has been poisoned, and I canât stop thinking about how it all ties together.
I let out a slow breath, trying to steady the storm brewing inside me. My eyes drift to the clock. Noah will be here soon, and I find myself clinging to that thought, like a lifeline. He promised weâd tackle this together, and I trust himâmore than I ever thought I could trust anyone. I donât know when it happened, but somehow, in the middle of all this chaos, Noahâs become more than just a partner in this fight.
Heâs been my constant.
The thought of him makes something stir in me, deep and slow. Heâs steady, unshakable, with a quiet determination that makes him seem even more powerful than he already is. His strength isnât just physicalâthough thatâs hard to ignore, considering how his broad shoulders fill a room, how his chest rises with each breath like it could shield me from anythingâbut thereâs something deeper. Something in the way he holds himself, the way he moves, the way his eyes fix on me like he sees all of me, not just the woman standing in front of him, but the weight I carry, the fire thatâs been smoldering inside me.
Heâs protective, fiercely so, and that makes me want to lean into him, to feel his arms around me again, to lose myself in the heat of him. I want to feel his lips on mine again, slow and searching, like he needs me as much as I need him. The desire burns low in my belly, constant, a thread pulling me closer to him every time he walks into a room. The way his gaze lingers on me, like he canât quite pull away, makes me wonder if he feels it tooâthe pull, the spark thatâs only grown stronger between us.
But for now, I cling to the thought of him, to the promise he made. That weâll face this together. And I know, deep down, that I donât just need him for this fight. I need him, him, in every way. Because the way he makes me feel is something I canât ignore, something I canât forget.
