I had not known. I had been so consumed by my own guilt, my own belief that I had driven her away with walls and silence, that I had never considered she might have been protecting something else entirely. Someone else. A son I had never met, who would be six now, who might be anywhere, who might be dead or hidden or raised by the same monster who had killed his mother."Kain."

TatianaI counted the ceiling tiles when I could not sleep, and I counted them again when I woke, and I counted them through the meals I pushed around my plate and the pills I hid beneath my mattress and the hours of white light that bled into white walls until time lost its shape entirely. Six days. Or seven. The facility had no windows in my room, only the barred rectangle in the door through which the guards checked my compliance, and I had learned to track the passage of days by the rhythm of the nurses' shoes on the corridor tile. Soft soles meant morning. Hard heels meant evening. The silence between meant night, and the night was when I did my real work.I had collected twelve pills by then. Small, blue, intended to keep me docile, to smooth the edges of my grief into something manageable and round. I crushed them each morning with the back of my toothbrush and flushed the powder down the drain, keeping the intact ones wrapped in a strip of bedsheet tucked behind
A Prey For My Enemy Saving Mine
KainVoss.The scarred mercenary captain stood in the frame, his tactical gear replaced by a dark suit that did not fit him, his eyes fixed on Julian with an expression of flat, professional disdain. "The old man wants a report," he said. "Now."Julian's hand tightened on my cheek, just barely, just enough to let me know he was annoyed. Then he smiled and stood, adjusting his cuffs. "Of course. The Godfather's orders." He leaned down and pressed a kiss to my forehead, his lips lingering too long. "Rest, darling. I'll see you at dinner."He swept out, followed by the doctor. But Voss remained in the doorway for a moment longer, his eyes finding mine across the room. He looked at me—really looked at me—and I saw something flicker in his scarred face. Not pity. Recognition. The look of a man who had seen something broken put back together wrong, who understood that the doll on the window seat was not as hollow as she appeared.I held his gaze for one heartbeat.

The child in her arms. Her child. Our child.I had not known. I had been so consumed by my own guilt, my own belief that I had driven her away with walls and silence, that I had never considered she might have been protecting something else entirely. Someone else. A son I had never met, who would be six now, who might be anywhere, who might be dead or hidden or raised by the same monster who had killed his mother."Kain." Dmitri's voice cut through the fog. "We're approaching the inlet. The facility is two kilometers inland. Heavily guarded. Private security, not military, but good enough."I closed the journal. I tucked the photograph into my coat, over my heart, and I picked up the rifle. My hands were steady now. The pain was still there, a distant roar beneath my skin, but it had been replaced by something colder, harder, more permanent.I was not just fighting for Tatiana anymore.I was fighting for the woman who had died to keep me human.I was fighting
A Prey For My Enemy Revelation Season
KainThe shot went wide, lost in the wind, and Julian did not flinch. He turned, slowly, his head tilting as he scanned the cliffs, but the rain and the smoke were too thick, and I was too far, and too broken. I tried to chamber another round and my hands failed me, the rifle slipping from fingers that had gone numb. I watched him turn away, watched him stroll toward a waiting boat with the unhurried gait of a man who had already won, and I felt something crack inside my chest that I knew would never heal properly.I blacked out.When I woke again, the rain had softened to a drizzle, and someone was kicking my boot."You're either the luckiest bastard I've ever seen," a voice said, rough and accented, "or the stupidest. Burning cottage on the cliff, half the coastline watching, and you're taking naps."I opened my eyes. A man stood over me, silhouetted against the grey sky, his frame thick and bowed by middle age, his coat smelling of fish and diesel and che
A Prey For My Enemy Masked Blade
KainI woke to the sound of fire eating wood.The world was orange and black, smoke curling through cracks in the stone ceiling above me, and for a long moment I did not know where I was or why my body felt like it had been put through a grinder. Pain arrived in stages: first my skull, a throbbing, nauseating drumbeat where the rifle butt had connected; then my ribs, sharp and wet with every breath; then my hands, blistered and raw from crawling through embers. I coughed, and the sound was ragged, animal, lost in the roar of the cottage collapsing into itself somewhere above my head.The cellar.Memory returned in fragments, each one cutting deeper than the last. Julian's knee in my wound. The gravel rushing up to meet my face. Tatiana's scream, high and broken, tearing through the rain like a blade. I had crawled. I remembered that now, the desperate, animal instinct to survive, to reach the east wall where the loose stone waited. Madam had shown me this passag
A Prey For My Enemy Blood For Blood
TatianaIt was distant, but his body recognized it before his mind could catch up, his heart rate spiking, his hands reaching automatically for a weapon that was not there. He was on the floor. He did not remember falling. The bed was above him, and Leo was leaning over the edge, his small face pale and terrified, his fingers gripping the blanket with white-knuckled strength."Papa," the boy whispered. "She's gone. The lady is gone."Kain tried to sit up and his body betrayed him. The room tilted, a sickening carousel of shadows and light, and he collapsed back onto the boards with a grunt of pain that he could not suppress. His side was on fire. His hands were splinted, clumsy, useless. He turned his head toward the window and saw the black car on the ridge, saw the line of men with their weapons trained downward, and he understood with a clarity that burned through the fog of his injuries exactly what Tatiana had done.She had traded herself.She had walked out with her chin lifted
