BLOOD TIE AND BROKEN VOWS Chapter 66: The Poisoned Kiss
The dungeon reeked of damp stone and rusted iron. Every drip of water that fell from the ceiling sounded like the tick of a clock counting down Adriana’s fate.Her wrists ached where the shackles bit into her skin. Her silk gown was torn from the struggle, streaked with blood where the dagger had kissed her throat the night before. Yet she sat upright, her chin lifted.They want to see me broken, she thought. But I am still a Rossi. I will not kneel.Then came the sound—soft, deliberate footsteps echoing against the stone. Too light to be a guard. Too confident to be her father.And when the door creaked open, you could almost feel the air shift.Isabella glided inside, carrying a lantern that threw long shadows across the walls. She wore no crown, no jewels—just a simple dress that made her beauty seem sharper, more dangerous.Her lips curled into a smile. “Oh, Adriana. You poor thing. How quickly the lioness finds herself caged.”Adriana’s jaw tightened. “Come to gloat?”“Come to co
BLOOD TIE AND BROKEN VOWS Chapter 65: Damian’s Conflict
The chamber stank of iron and blood. Damian sat propped against velvet cushions, his shirt torn open where the bandages pressed against his side. Every breath was a blade. Every movement dragged fire through his ribs.But the ache in his flesh was nothing compared to the storm inside him.Through the narrow slit of the carved screen, he had heard it all—the accusations, the lies, Adriana’s desperate defense, and the crushing weight of her father’s verdict.“Traitor.”The word echoed in his skull like a curse.And now, she was in chains.---He tried to stand, gripping the bedpost, but pain seared his vision white. His guard—Luca, his most trusted man—moved quickly to steady him.“Sit down, boss. You’re bleeding again.”“Let me bleed,” Damian snarled, his voice hoarse. His wolf clawed at the surface, howling for release, demanding he tear the doors apart and drag Adriana from her prison.But Luca’s words struck like cold water: “If you go out there now, wounded, you’ll lose more than b
BLOOD TIE AND BROKEN VOWS Chapter 64: The Trial of Lies
The night bled into dawn. The Moretti estate stood in uneasy silence, its marble halls stained with blood and shadows. Outside, the courtyard still bore the scars of the assassins’ attack—broken glass glittering in the gardens, and scorch marks on the stone where lanterns had fallen.But the true battle was inside.Damian lay bandaged in a hidden chamber, guarded by men loyal only to him. His wound had been deep but not mortal. Still, it left him weakened, pale, and half-conscious, a wolf snarling in chains of flesh.And while he fought fever in silence, the clans gathered in the grand hall.---The Rossi and Moretti families sat across from one another like predators circling prey. Gold chandeliers threw fractured light on their faces—half fury, half fear. The whispers in the room rose like smoke: Who had sent the assassins? Was the attack proof of betrayal?Adriana stood at the center, the lioness forced into the arena. Her father’s hand gripped her shoulder like an iron chain, his
BLOOD TIE AND BROKEN VOWS Chapter 63: Blades in the Dark
The echoes of the gunshot still lingered like thunder across the Moretti estate. Guests screamed and ducked, crystal goblets shattering against marble floors, the air filled with the acrid scent of gunpowder. Guards surged into formation, their shouts mingling with the frantic music that had screeched to a halt.But on the balcony, silence reigned.Damian’s body moved before his mind did, shoving Isabella behind him and positioning himself between Adriana and the chaos spilling in from the hall. His wolf was awake now, a beast in his veins, his senses sharpened to steel.“Stay close,” he ordered, his voice low and dangerous. His eyes flicked once toward Adriana—raw, fierce, pleading—but before she could answer, the shadows stirred.---A masked figure vaulted over the railing, landing with feline grace. Steel glinted in his hands—twin blades curved for quick, silent killing.“Assassins,” Damian growled.The man lunged. Damian met him with brutal precision, catching the strike with his
BLOOD TIE AND BROKEN VOWS Chapter 62: Dangerous Games
The Moretti estate glittered that night, its marble halls alive with laughter and the sharp clink of crystal. To the families gathered, it was another night of feasting, another show of power. But beneath the chandeliers, war was being played in whispers and glances.Damian sat at the head of the long table, his glass untouched, his gaze dark as storm clouds. He felt the weight of every eye on him, waiting for his next move. Yet his mind was elsewhere—on Adriana. On her silence. On the growing shadow between them.And on Isabella.She sat beside him like a queen in her rightful throne, her smile radiant, her hand resting possessively close to his. To the world, she looked like his partner. But to Damian, she looked like a venomous crown tightening around his skull.---Isabella leaned in, her perfume curling around him like smoke.“You’re restless tonight,” she murmured. “Wolves don’t pace unless something is wrong.”Damian’s jaw tightened. “Or unless they smell a snake.”Her smile di
BLOOD TIE AND BROKEN VOWS Chapter 61: The Near-Discovery
The night smelled of rain and smoke as Adriana slipped through the servant’s passage of the Moretti estate. Her heart hammered against her ribs, every beat a warning that what she was doing was reckless, suicidal even.But she had no choice.If Isabella was the crowned snake, then somewhere she had a nest. A place where she hid her venom and secrets. And tonight, Adriana intended to find it.The consigliere’s directions had been precise—too precise, perhaps. But desperation made her bold. With each step deeper into the marble halls, she felt the weight of her choice pressing down, pressing her forward.She paused at a corner, pressing herself into the shadows as footsteps echoed past. A pair of guards, their laughter harsh and careless, strolled by without noticing her. Adriana only breathed again when they disappeared down the hall.Her fingers tightened on the dagger hidden at her thigh. She had always imagined herself a daughter caged, but tonight she was prey turned predator.---
