We rented rickshaw taxis to move between the temple ruins. Coba felt wild and half-swallowed by nature. The ancient white limestone roads stretched out through the jungle. The structures we came upon were partially covered in vegetation, making them feel mysterious and giving the whole place a ‘lost city’ vibe.

Coba’s centerpiece, Nohoch Mul, was the tallest Mayan pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula. It rose above the jungle canopy and the steep stone steps were smooth from centuries of being clim

    The birth of my son was the absolute best day of my life. Hearing him cry for the very first time brought tears to my eyes, and when I held him, it was a moment of such pure love that I could feel it in my soul. He was my flesh and blood, the heir to the legacy I would leave behind. He would be untouchable.He was the most perfect thing I’d ever seen, and I felt blessed. My path to power had been filled with bloodshed, violence, and betrayal. I’d walk that path a thousand times over if it meant he would never have to. I’d suffer being shot over and over if it meant he would take over the family dynasty in peace. I knew it was wishful thinking. There would always be enemies, but I would slay as many of them as I could before he rose to take over.We flew to Dominic’s country estate for the baptism. It was important to me that he be baptized by Father Tomassino, in the same church I’d been baptized, and Dominic before me. It was a family tradition I didn’t want to let go of.The church

    It took another four weeks before I was finally discharged. Kaelis took notes as the doctor gave instructions for exercises at home, check-up dates and what I could and couldn’t do. By the end of it, I wanted to bash his head in, push Kaelis to her knees and then go home.When we arrived at the house, I was surprised with a welcome home party. My parents had flown down, Honor and James and even Wrath with his most trusted circle were there. It was good to see everyone again and be surrounded by the people I loved.Arya now sported an engagement ring on her finger, and I glanced at Wilder. “You couldn’t tell me this in the hospital?”“I didn’t want to risk you getting all excited,” he said. “But the sex after I proposed was awesome.”Arya shook her head and kissed my cheek when I hugged her. “It’s good to have you back, cousin.”“Trust me, nobody’s as happy as I am.”My mother cried, and hugged me for a long time. I could almost relate to what she was feeling. Soon, I’d hold my own chi

    After a week, I was transferred to a regular room, but my restlessness just grew. I wanted to be out there with my men, hunting down the man that gave the order to end my life. I knew it was Bryce, and Navo had found the evidence.“You need to rest, Mr. Vittori,” the nurse admonished me. It was 1 a.m. and I pulled the headphones off.“Just going to finish this movie, then I’ll rest, I promise,” I said.The movie was a live-feed of the men in a warehouse they tracked Bryce to. He’d hired mercenaries to protect him, especially after the fall of Carlos Suarez. I had watched a live feed of his execution. Diego had waited for me to regain consciousness before moving in. I guess I owed him one.“I’ll be back in 30 minutes,” she said.I ignored her and watched in rapt fascination as men scoured the warehouse, the beams from the lights on their rifles bouncing around in the darkness. I listened to bursts of gunfire, screams and my men stepping over dead bodies.It was a realistic version of a

    The ICU room was dim. Machines were beeping softly in a steady rhythm. I didn’t remember the hiss of the ventilator; they’d extubated me earlier that morning when I started breathing over it. I drifted between dreams and pain. My chest felt heavy, every breath was a sharp reminder of the bullet that had almost ended me. The white ceiling came into focus again as I tried to open my eyes.At first, everything was quiet. All I could hear were the machines. All I could smell was that antiseptic odor that clung to all hospitals. Faintly, I heard the shuffle of nurses outside my room. Then I felt it. A hand wrapped around mine. Soft. Tender. A hand I knew so well. Kaelis.She was talking to Wilder, their voices soft, so as not to disturb me. Every now and then, her fingers would brush against my palm, making it tingle. It almost made up for the burning pain that was seared almost everywhere.“Okay, but when he wakes up, ask him why men like fishing,” Wilder said, a soft chuckle leaving his

    Kaelis paced up and down. She couldn’t sit. The cup of take-away coffee Elias had brought her, had grown cold, and it still stood untouched on the table. There had been so much blood. She couldn’t get that image out of her head.She replayed that moment over and over in her head. Saint stepped in front of her. The hollow sound of that gunshot. Saint’s body jerked with the impact. Even shot, he’d pushed her into the car, not thinking about himself. The blood spread across his chest. She clenched her eyes shut.The waiting room was a blur of sterile white and harsh fluorescent light. She twisted her hands together, her knuckles pale. Every sound, the buzz of the vending machine, the shuffle of shoes on linoleum, scraped at her nerves.They’d been waiting for hours, but nobody left. They were all in the waiting room, waiting for news, hoping and praying that Saint made it through. They were all exhausted, and Hudson had tried a few times to take her home. She wouldn’t leave until she’d s

    The double doors burst open, paramedics pushing Saint’s stretcher at full speed. The Emergency Department's lights were blinding, the air sharp with antiseptic and adrenaline.“Male, 23, GSW to the chest, hypotensive, tachycardic. He lost a lot of blood on the scene. His pressure’s tanking!” The paramedic’s voice was loud and filled with urgency as they barreled through.“Trauma bay 3!” a nurse called back.Doctors and nurses swarmed the stretcher as it slammed to a halt, and he was transferred to the hospital bed. Saint’s shirt was already cut away, his chest a mess of blood and gauze. The monitor screamed with erratic beeps.“BP 70 over palp. Pulse is 140 and thready.”“Get two large-bore IVs in, wide open fluids. Type and cross-match for blood. Call the OR, we’re going to need to crack him open.”Saint tried to move, his hand twitching by his side. His eyes fluttered, glassy and fighting against the pull of unconsciousness. His breaths were ragged and he opened his mouth, but the w

    Honor pulled her clothes back on when Grim walked into the bathroom. She slipped out of the room and hurried down the hall. She wasn’t sure why she was running, but her feelings were too intense. A big, bearded man watched her intently. He was good looking, but she could tell that he was probably n

    There was a small Italian restaurant off campus that I took Demetria to. It wasn’t busy yet and we were seated immediately. It wasn’t fancy, but rustic, reminding me of a grandmother’s kitchen in Italy, warm and filled with the scent of tomatoes and basil. The chef was an older man and he greeted a

    The formal dinner required a suit. We’d moved into the new house a week earlier and familiarized ourselves with the campus layout. I wasn’t a student, but I wanted to know where everyone’s classes were, the library, bookstore and so forth. If Honor called and said she was somewhere and needed help,

    I got back to the house at 2:30 on Friday afternoon, having concluded my meetings for the day. There was an old hotel set to be demolished that I wanted to buy and restore. The red-tape concerning the sale would take time, new rezoning matters had arisen, and it was frustrating as hell.“Greek Row’
