Let Them Kneel (kaelani and Julian) novel Chapter 66

Kaelani slammed the door behind her, the sound echoing through the quiet house like a warning shot. She tossed her keys onto the coffee table with a sharp clatter, pacing once before sinking onto the edge of the couch.

Her heart was still racing. Her lips still tingled.

What the hell was that?

One minute he was rambling nonsense, the next—gripping her like he couldn’t stand the thought of her slipping away. Kissing her like she was air and he was drowning.

Now he wants her?

No. No, this had to be something else. A mind game. A conquest. Something to prove to himself—maybe even punish her for making him feel things he didn’t want to feel. Her stomach twisted.

Am I a fucking game to him?

A knock at the door made her flinch.

She froze, eyes locked on the wood like it had personally betrayed her. Her pulse kicked harder.

It better not be him.

Another knock—sharper this time. More persistent.

Jaw tight, she rose, yanking the door open mid-sentence. “You just don’t give up, do y—”

But it wasn’t Julian.

It was a polished blonde in a designer coat, heels too clean for small-town dust, and a smile sharp enough to cut glass.

Elara.

“Well, if it isn’t the little Omega rat,” she purred, eyes glittering with venom.

Kaelani’s eyes widened the moment she saw who stood on the other side of the door.

Instinctively, she went to slam it shut.

But Elara was faster.
