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
Bound by Blood Substitute
Dante's PovThe heavy oak doors of the safehouse war room slammed open, echoing like a gunshot across the cavernous space.It had been seven days. Seven excruciating, agonizing days since the rain-slicked alleyway, since my stitches had burst, and since Sophia had plummeted from that maintenance tower. One week of living in a personal hell while Elara remained locked in the iron grip of the Director.I was no longer the bleeding, broken man who had collapsed in the mud. The surgical tape across my ribs was a firm, reassuring pressure under my black tactical vest, but the physical wounds had healed into dull, manageable scars. My body had recovered, but my mind had sharpened into a lethal, single-minded focus.The time for bleeding was over.Across the long steel tactical table, fifty of my best men stood at rigid attention. Body armor strapped tight, submachine guns checked, sidearms holstered. The air in the room was thick with the scent of gun oil, sweat, and absolute, brutal antici
Bound by Blood Silicone
CALEB’S POVThe silence following the storm of our argument hung thick in the air, heavy with unspoken questions.I kept my back turned to Elara, staring fixedly down at the steaming metal kettle on the woodstove. My jaw was clamped tight, every muscle in my neck locked up. I could still hear the frantic, rapid rhythm of her breathing behind me—could still feel the phantom heat of her standing just inches away.I’d lost my temper. I’d let the raw, ugly desperation show through the cracks in my armor, and that was a dangerous mistake. Out here, slipping up even a little bit could get us killed."Eat," I said, my voice returning to its normal, low gravel as I poured the boiled water into two tin mugs, dropping a pinch of dried pine tea leaves into each. "You need the calories if you're going to keep your fever down."I picked up the mugs, turned around, and walked back toward the wooden table.Elara hadn't moved. She was still standing in the middle of the room, her hand clutching the e
Bound by Blood Control
ELARA’S POVBy the second morning, the fever had finally broken. It left my skin cold and drenched in a bitter, icy sweat, but at least the terrifying haze in my brain had cleared.The arm was still a heavy, throbbing weight bound tight against my ribs, but the sharp, sickening grind of broken bone against broken bone was gone, replaced by a dull, constant ache. Outside, the dense mountain fog had thinned just enough for pale, watery sunlight to bleed through the canopy of spruce and pine.I sat on the edge of the lower bunk, leaning forward to carefully re-tie the leather laces of Caleb’s oversized work boots with my good hand. It was tedious, frustrating work using only five fingers, but I needed to be mobile.Across the small room, Caleb stood near the iron woodstove, leaning over to pour hot water from a soot-stained kettle into a tin cup. The moment the sharp snap of my leather boot laces clicked against the hardwood floorboards, his shoulders went rigid. He didn't spill a drop o
Bound by Blood League
ELARA’S POVThe fog didn’t just cover the mountain—it swallowed it whole.Within ten minutes of leaving the cabin, the spruce trees had turned into grey, towering phantoms, and the ground beneath my boots was a treacherous blur of slick pine needles and jagged limestone.Every single step was a fight against gravity. Caleb’s old work boots slid around my feet like wooden blocks, and every time I slipped, a violent bolt of pain shot straight up my left arm, radiating through my collarbone and making my vision go white at the edges. I had to bite the inside of my cheek until I tasted copper just to keep from crying out.Caleb walked a few paces ahead, the heavy canvas duffel slung over one shoulder, his rifle held low and ready. He moved through the terrain like he’d been born in it, his eyes constantly scanning the fog, taking routes that kept us beneath the thick canopy where the mud was less deep. Behind him, Maya and Lily walked in absolute, practiced silence, holding onto each othe
Bound by Blood ShotBack
CALEB’S POVTen minutes in absolute darkness feels like ten hours when you’re listening for the sound of a gun stock hitting a floorboard.I didn't move an inch. I kept Maya and Lily clamped against my ribs, feeling their heartbeats fluttering like trapped birds. Beside me, Elara was breathing in shallow, ragged hitches, trying so hard to stay silent that I could feel the tension vibrating right through her denim jacket and into my shoulder.When the last rumble of that diesel V8 faded into the pine valley, I finally let my chest expand."They're gone," I whispered.The air in the cellar felt a little less suffocating, but the copper taste of adrenaline was still sharp on my tongue. I waited another five agonizing minutes, scanning the shadows, before I carefully shifted the heavy bolt-action rifle from my lap to the bench."Stay here," I murmured to the girls, my voice low and raspy. "Don't move until I call down."I eased off the bench, my knees popping softly in the quiet. The wood

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
