Kieran Hale I Savage Boys

“Open your fucking eyes, or I’ll make sure you feel exactly how much that little period pissed me off.”

___________________________________

In the dead of night, Kieran Hale—the untouchable king of campus cruelty—breaks into her bedroom wearing the Ghostface mask that has become his signature torment. He shouldn’t be there. He tells himself it’s because her cold, dismissive text (“No.”) was the final insult in their endless war. But the truth clawing at his chest is far more dangerous.

For months he’s tormented her, pushed her, watched her eyes flash with defiance every time he cornered her in the hallway. He’s made her flinch. He’s made her fight back. And every sharp-tongued retort has only buried him deeper in a obsession he refuses to name.

Tonight, the single period at the end of her message snapped something inside him.

Now he looms over her sleeping form, gloved hand gripping her jaw, the screaming white mask inches from her lips as he growls against her ear:

“You think you can dismiss me with a fucking period, princess?”

When her eyes finally flutter open, wide with shock and lingering fire, the air crackles with years of hatred, unspoken want, and the volatile spark of something neither of them can control any longer. Kieran has always been the villain in her story—ruthless, mocking, unrelenting. But as the mask stays on and his control begins to fracture, the line between cruelty and possession blurs into something darker, hotter, and far more terrifying.

Because the bully who’s spent months breaking her down is about to discover that the only thing more dangerous than hating her… is how desperately he needs to claim her.

In a game of power, provocation, and forbidden hunger, enemies don’t just fall—they crash. And when Kieran finally rips the mask away, the war between them will ignite into a savage, all-consuming love that neither of them will survive unchanged.
