Kaiden didn’t wait for Selena to finish savoring her little scheming revelation.
He brushed past the trio without giving any of them even a token glance, walking toward the exit of the private room. Selena immediately moved to follow him with heels clicking against the floor. But just as she reached the threshold, Kaiden paused, half-turned, and flashed her a grin over his shoulder.
Selena raised an eyebrow as she realized that his grin was sharp, knowing, and... Amused at her expense?
Huh?
"I don’t know how you got in here," he said, tone deceptively light. "I hope you were sneaky."
Selena lifted her chin, every inch the superior noble daughter she imagined herself to be. "Of course we were. We had someone clear the space out. Can’t have people outside the government associating our prestigious family name with a sex worker."
Her voice dripped with disdain and condescension. Cassian and Calix smirked behind her, feeding off her arrogance like the loyal little leeches that they were.
But Kaiden just widened his grin. "Then you should replicate what you did before," he said as his gaze swept the area outside the door. "Because this place is packed right now."
"Wait!" Selena reached for his arm, wanting, no, needing, him to pause so she could leave first and turn the entire crowd situation into his problem.
That was the plan... Unless he wanted to become enemies with their father, who was only tolerating him because he was Grey and not Ashborn, it would become his problem to escape without being seen.
But Kaiden easily saw through their stupid little plot and moved before her fingers even brushed the air around him. With a sudden burst of speed that made her hair ripple backward, he stepped out into the light of the central area, passing through the doorway in a blur.
Gasps rose instantly. Murmurs flickered through the gathered awakened.
"What was that?"
"The alien dude!"
"The monster fucker?"
"Damn, life is unfair."
"He moved so fast!"
"So handsome..."
A pretty girl in teal archer robes stepped forward with hesitant steps, clutching her phone with both hands. Her cheeks burned pink as she looked up at him. "Um... excuse me... could I maybe... take a selfie with you?"
"C-tier ranger-type awakened, Anna, is it?" Kaiden smiled at her, looking charming and comfortable in a way that twisted Selena’s expression into barely restrained fury behind him.
"Y-you know me?!" she squealed. Kaiden merely kept his smile up and stood next to the girl. He knew because they’d conducted a thorough research into fellow awakened combatants - though, of course, that did not mean he would recognize them all by face.
Anna was just a cutie, so her face stuck with him.
And then his girls emerged from the room one after the other.
Luna walked past the Ashborn trio first, though not quietly. She beamed at them with the sweetest, most poisonous grin. "This is almost as bad as being seated in a cuck chair, no?" she chirped.
"Depends on who you ask," Aria said, chuckling as she shot Nyx a knowing side glance. "Some are into that, no?"
Nyx answered with a playful wink, utterly unashamed of her kinks and more than a little pleased at the jab. It was good to see this playful Aria instead of the murderous yandere one who wanted to yoink her out of Kaiden’s lap.
Bastet stretched her arms over her head and let out a leisurely yawn as she passed. "You can stand up from the cuck chair," she purred, voice warm and lazy.
"But you can’t leave this room without calling for help." Calypso finished it off as she strode past, eyes glinting with devilish amusement. "Enjoy the cuck room, losers."
Cassian and Calix bristled instantly with fury snapping across their faces.
