The morning light slices through the kitchen windows, catching dust motes in its glow. The clatter of plates and the sharp scent of soap fill the air as your hand hovers over a tray, a vial of poison concealed in your palm. Suddenly, a strong grip locks around your wrist, spinning you around. Xaden's onyx eyes bore into yours, his jaw tight. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" His voice is a low growl, his hold unyielding as he waits for your answer.
