CHAPTER 81

EVE

We sent the girls away with Madam Bella at dawn.

Remote location in the Canadian wilderness. Off grid. No phones. No technology Victoria could track. Just survival supplies and instructions to stay hidden until we gave the all clear.

"How will we know when it's safe?" Sophie asked.

"We'll come get you ourselves. In person. If anyone else shows up, even if they claim we sent them, you run. Understand?"

Both girls nodded.

"And if you don't come back?" Lucia's voice was small. "If t

    CHAPTER 56 ADAM Sanctuary looked like a prison. High walls. Armed guards. Magical barriers so thick I could feel them pressing against my skin from a hundred yards away. "This is where you bring people to help them?" I said as we pulled through the gates. "This is where we bring people too dangerous to exist in normal society," Dr. Cross said bluntly. "But also yes, where we help them. The two aren't mutually exclusive." The vehicle stopped in front of a massive concrete building. No windows on the first three floors. Everything designed to contain, not comfort. "I don't like this," Circe muttered. "None of us do. But we're here now." Eve held Lucia closer. Our daughter hadn't moved or made a sound the entire drive. Just stared with those dead eyes. Inside, the facility was sterile. White walls, white floors, the smell of antiseptic and magic. Guards everywhere. Cameras in every corner. "Room 347," Dr. Cross told the intake guard. "Family suite. They stay together." "The ch

    CHAPTER 87LUCIAMama was different now.Not bad different. Just different.She jumped at loud noises. Checked exits whenever we entered a room. Couldn't sleep in their actual bedroom because the ceiling made her panic.I understood. Kind of. She'd been buried alive for three weeks. That would make anyone scared of small spaces and heavy things.But it was still weird seeing Mama scared of anything.She'd always been the brave one. The healer who ran toward danger. The one who protected everyone else.Now she needed protecting sometimes. Needed reminding she was safe. Needed help when the panic attacks came.Sophie handled it better than me. She was good at being gentle. At saying the right comforting things.I wasn't good at that. I was good at being direct and honest and sometimes too blunt.Like when Mama had a panic attack during breakfast and I said, "You're breathing too fast. That's not efficient oxygen intake. You need to slow down."Papa gave me a look. "Lucia, that's not hel

    EVEThe first week back was harder than I expected.Not the physical recovery. My vampire healing handled that. Ribs mended. Internal injuries sealed. Within days I was physically fine.The mental recovery was different.I couldn't sleep in our bedroom. The ceiling felt too close. Too heavy. Like it might collapse at any moment.The second night home, I woke up screaming. Clawing at nothing. Convinced I was buried again.Adam held me while I hyperventilated. "You're safe. You're home. The ceiling isn't falling.""I know that logically. But my body doesn't believe it.""Then we move. Sleep somewhere else until you feel safe again."We moved to a ground floor guest room with high ceilings and multiple exits. It helped. Slightly.But the nightmares didn't stop.Every night I was back under the rubble. Crushed. Trapped. Unable to breathe or move or escape.I'd wake up gasping. Sometimes crying. Sometimes silent and frozen.Adam never complained. Just held me. Talked me through it. Reminde

    ADAM Victoria made her move forty eight hours later. Not against us directly. Against everyone we'd ever helped. Twelve hybrid families hit simultaneously across four continents. This time, no survivors. Parents, children, everyone killed. Houses burned to the ground. Then she sent us the footage. Every death. Every scream. Every child begging for mercy they didn't receive. With a message: "Release Elena or this continues every forty eight hours until you do." I watched it once. Couldn't make it through the second time. Just sat there staring at the blank screen while my hands shook. "She's a monster," Eve said quietly. "She killed children to make a point." "We have her daughter. She's escalating to force our hand." "So we don't give in. We hold Elena and keep applying pressure. Force Victoria to meet on our terms." "At the cost of how many more families? How many more children?" I looked at her. "Eve, we can't keep this up. Every forty eight hours, another dozen families

    CHAPTER 85ADAMI couldn't let go of her.Even after we moved from the dining hall to our private chambers. Even after the girls finally fell asleep between us, their hands clutching Eve like she might disappear. Even after hours of just holding her and proving to myself she was real.I couldn't let go."Adam," Eve whispered. "I need to use the bathroom. You have to release me for thirty seconds.""No.""I've been trapped under rubble for three weeks. I really need to pee."Logically, I knew she was right. But logic had abandoned me the moment she walked through that door."Take me with you.""That's ridiculous.""I don't care. I'm not letting you out of my sight." My voice cracked. "What if I close my eyes and you're gone again? What if this is a dream and I wake up to find you're still dead?"Eve's expression softened. She cupped my face. "I'm real. I'm solid. I'm here. And I'm not going anywhere. But I really, really need to pee."I forced myself to release her. Watched as she care

    EVEI woke up in darkness.Complete. Absolute. Suffocating darkness.My body screamed with pain. Crushed. Broken. Barely functional.I tried to move. Couldn't. Tons of rubble pinning me down. Metal through my abdomen. Concrete crushing my legs.I should be dead.Why wasn't I dead?Memory returned slowly. The factory. Victoria. The explosion. Holding her so she couldn't escape while the building came down.The plan had been to die with her. Make sure she couldn't survive. Couldn't rebuild. Couldn't threaten my family again.I'd accepted death. Embraced it. Knew Adam would take care of the girls. Knew my sacrifice meant they'd finally be safe.So why was I still conscious?I tried to assess my injuries in the darkness. Multiple fractures. Internal bleeding. Probably punctured lung based on how hard breathing was.Fatal injuries. Should be dead within minutes.But minutes passed. Then hours. And I was still breathing. Still conscious. Still trapped under rubble in complete darkness.Vamp
