Bound by Blood Obsessed
ELARA'S POVThe furious heat in my chest didn't dissipate, but the relentless, brick-wall resistance in Caleb’s eyes suddenly vanished. His shoulders dropped, the tension bleeding out of his tall frame in a long, weary exhalation that sounded like defeat."Fine," he said quietly, his voice hollowed out. "Fine, Elara. You win."I blinked, taking a cautious step back, my muscles still coiled to fight or bolt up the stone stairs. "What?""I said you win." Caleb ran a calloused hand over his face, looking exhausted beyond his years. He stepped aside, clearing the path to the chute. "If you’re so convinced I’m just an obstacle keeping you from Dante, then go. I won't drag you back down here again. I won't be your jailer."A wave of relief, so sharp it almost made me lightheaded, swept through me. "You're... you're letting me go?""I am." He walked over to the wooden crate, setting his oil rag down, then picked up a tin cup sitting beside the gas lamp. He poured clear liquid into it from a
Bound by Blood Brief
ELARA'S POV Caleb had turned back to his rifle, the steady, rhythmic scrape of his oil rag against cold steel filling the silence. But in my mind, the quiet was deafening.What is wrong with him?I stared at the back of his broad shoulders, my jaw clenched so hard my teeth hurt. What was he playing at? He spoke like a tactical genius, but keeping me trapped under ten feet of rock while the sun was blazing outside was sheer madness. Broad daylight meant visibility—it meant I could actually see a thermal scope lens glinting in the treeline before I walked into its range. It meant I could navigate the ridge without snapping an ankle in a hidden snow pit. Moving at midnight was a death sentence; navigating frozen granite in total darkness would only slow me down, making me an easy target for whoever was waiting in the shadows.He wasn't protecting me. He was hoarding me.A sudden, sharp wave of conviction washed over me, burning away the lingering weakness in my limbs. My arm was healed.
Bound by Blood Curse
ELARA'S POV Seven days in a ten-foot bunker will strip away whatever sanity you have left.The scent of damp granite, wet wool, and stale tea had settled into my skin like a second layer of clothing. The gas lamp flickered on the wall, its steady hiss the only sound marking the agonizingly slow crawl of time.I stood by the wooden table, my right hand pulling the knot tight on my improvised pack. I flexed my left arm the splint was gone, replaced by a tight cloth wrap. The sharp, blinding fire in my collarbone had finally faded; the bone was set, healed enough that I could move without gasping for air. Outside the high, tiny air vent near the ceiling, pale winter sunlight was streaming in.It was bright out. It was time."You're making noise," Caleb's voice cut through the dim room, low and warning.He was sitting near the stone stairs, methodically cleaning the bolt mechanism of his rifle with an oiled rag. He hadn't looked up, but he didn't need to. He knew every breath I took in t
Bound by Blood Betrayed
DANTE'S POVThe heavy wooden door rattled at the far end of the corridor.My chest caved in as a small, familiar figure stepped out into the dim hallway. Her dark hair fell around her shoulders, her pale face illuminated by the flashing red emergency lights."Dante!" she gasped, her voice echoing soft and clear over the blare of the sirens."Elara!"I dropped my rifle to its sling, closing the distance between us in three long strides. I threw my arms around her, pulling her tight against my chest, breathing in the scent of her. Relief flooded through my veins so hard my knees almost buckled. I had her. After seven days of absolute hell, she was finally in my arms."I'm here," I whispered into her hair, my hands shaking as I held her. "I've got you, Elara. I'm taking you home."She didn't answer.She didn't wrap her arms around my neck. She didn't cry.I pulled back half an inch to look at her face, but my hands caught on thin air.I blinked hard, the red lights flickering in my eyes.
Bound by Blood Culprit
DANTE'S POVThe heavy steel door clicked shut behind me, cutting off the low hum of the breakroom. I rolled my shoulders and took a deep breath, adjusting the heavy tactical vest across my chest as I headed back down the hallway toward the loading bay.I couldn't help but shake my head a little. Sophia’s instincts were usually dead on, but sleep deprivation does crazy things to a person's brain. When you are running on empty, you start seeing shadows where there are none.Congo turning on me? It was almost ridiculous. The guy had literally dragged me out of a burning warehouse in South America with three bullet holes in his own leg. We had bled together building this empire from nothing. You do not just erase five years of brotherhood over a few weird vibes and a stretch of paranoia.I turned the corner into the main garage, where the low, heavy thrum of three armored SUV engines vibrated right through the concrete floor. Twenty of my best guys were already geared up, checking sidearm
Bound by Blood Fri-Enemy
Dante's POVI threw my tactical bag over my shoulder and turned back toward the heavy exit doors. My hand was on the handle when Congo stepped into the hallway, blocking the doorframe with his broad shoulders.Congo was my right-hand man, my stepbrother in every way that mattered. We had bled together in the trenches for five years. But today, his usual calm demeanor was replaced by a rigid, tense posture."Dante," Congo said, stepping closer and lowering his voice so the men out in the garage couldn't hear. "Before you roll out... what's the entry route? Are you taking the main breach on the north side, or are you swinging around to the old subway tunnels underneath the east wing? I need to know so I can coordinate our secondary extraction team."I stopped, adjusting the strap on my rifle. "We're taking the subway tunnels. The north gate is a decoy to draw their heavy armor""AAGGH! Damn it!"A sharp, high-pitched scream echoed through the hallway, instantly cutting me off.I spun ar

DANTE’S POVThe door bursts open before my guard can announce it.My hand moves to my gun instantly. No hesitation. No thought.Every man in the room reacts the same way, weapons drawn, bodies shifting into formation. Control is everything, and control has just been interrupted.The man who stumble
Bound by Blood Heartless
DANTE'S POVI watched her struggle with the decision. I watched the tears stream down her face. I watched her look at her pathetic brother on the floor and back at me.She would sign. They always did when you gave them no other choice.But something about her face kept pulling at my memory. Somethi
Bound by Blood Bought In Full
ELARA'S POVThe night air hit my face as I stepped out of the hospital's back exit. I pulled my jacket tighter around myself and checked my phone again.Eight fifteen. I still had forty-five minutes before I needed to be at that warehouse.My stomach twisted with fear every time I thought about it.
Bound by Blood Kidnapped
ELARA'S POVI couldn't just sit there. Not with Matteo in danger. Not with those men having him.I jumped off the couch, nearly tripping over my own feet as I grabbed my bag and keys. My hands were still shaking so badly I could barely grip them properly.I had to find him. Had to do something. I
