content warning
The Guild series is a part of the Shadow Grove world which contains several interconnected series. The tone and content tends to lean toward the dark, and reader discretion is advised.
Please be mindful of your own content triggers and limits.
The characters within The Guild series are not heroes or heroines, please kindly don’t hold them to a heroic standard as they will fall short of expectations. They do bad things, and they own their actions.
If you’re here, then you’ve already read both Honey Trap and Dead Drop, so you are already well acquainted with these characters. This installment touches on dark themes for some supporting characters also.
Should you have concerns around specific triggers, please reach out for content clarity before reading.

KAI
The sound of my gun firing in Danny’s hand made me flinch. She should have just shot me, it probably would have hurt less than watching her drive away. Far less than hearing those cutting words come out of her mouth. We’re done.
Goddamn, that hurt. So much more than I had prepared myself for. Accept it. Move on.
As if that was even possible. I would never accept her absence. Not like this, when she so clearly still loved me. No, no way. And I sure as fuck wouldn’t move on, even if she chose him.
Part of me was relieved that she hadn’t chosen him. The selfish part that constantly debated about killing Leon in his sleep… If I thought I could get away with it, I might have done it by now. I was relieved she hadn’t picked him over me, but I was totally fucking destroyed at the pain on her face as she walked away from both of us.
She showed us that of the three of us, Danny had the biggest balls. She chose to hurt herself to save both of us. Because surely she knew that we wouldn’t kill one another until one of us had won, fair and square. It’d be cheating.
Leon snapped out of the shock so much faster than I did, running over to his car even as Danny’s van paused at the front gates, waiting for them to open.
