Chapter 20

~Spring’s POV~

As soon as I opened the door, I didn’t expect to see Storm standing directly behind it—tall, cold, unreadable. I froze for a second, and so did he.

But what hit me harder wasn’t his ice-blue stare. It was the scent.

All of them.

Masculine, power-laced, distinct and overwhelming. Earthy warmth, silver rain, dark spice, electric fire—my senses flared with the weight of all four.

Of all five.

And just when I thought I could process Jade’s initial growl in my head at Lucien, someone called my name.

"Spring?!"

Jace’s voice cracked through the room like a whip. That ridiculous, infuriating mix of amusement and heat always laced in it, but this time? It was different.
