Information from the Shaman
Author's note: this is from Duke's point of view

Days passed quickly and I grew into accepting the new normal with Nox.
During the day, I give him the control occasionally, and in the evenings we alternate so that each of us gets to spend time with Serina. Of course, I don't allow Nox to go beyond kissing and at midnight I yank him back because I don't trust him with Serina in bed, and he gives us privacy every other night.
Kissing and hugging Serina is a compromise from my side. Maybe I would give him more if he is not a lecherous bastard.
Why did I allow him that much?
First, because I can see that Serina wants it. It hurts, but it's the reality.
I'm telling myself that she sees us as one and that's why she is having fun with Nox, but it's hard.
