CLAIMED IN THE DARK Chapter 163
The car was dead. Eli sat in the driver's seat. His hands were shaking. His heart was pounding. "We need to move." Cove was beside him. His face was pale. His eyes were wide. "Where do we go?" "I don't know." "We need somewhere safe." "I know." "Where?" "I don't know." Alfred was in the back seat. He was quiet. Too quiet. "You know places," Eli said. "Safe houses. Hideouts. Somewhere we can go." "I know places. But they're not safe anymore." "What do you mean?" "The Network knows everything. They know every safe house. Every hideout. Every place we've ever been." "Then where do we go?" "I don't know." Eli slammed his hand on the wheel. "This is impossible." "It's not impossible. We just need to think." "We don't have time to think." "We have to make time." They sat there. The city was dark outside. The streets were empty. Then Cove spoke. "Lena." "What?" "Lena has a safe house. A place we've never been. A place no one knows about."

The phone rang at midnight.Eli answered. His heart was pounding. His hands were shaking."Hello, Eli."A voice. Cold. Calm. Familiar."Kira.""You remember me.""I remember you.""Good. Then you know why I'm calling.""Lena.""Yes. She's alive. For now.""Let her go.""I will. When you do what I ask.""What do you want?""You. In exchange for her."Eli closed his eyes. He took a breath."How do I know she's alive?""You don't. But I can prove it."The line went quiet. Then a sound. A voice. Lena's voice."Eli? Don't do it. Don't come for me.""Lena...""I'm not worth it.

Cove was waiting when Eli walked through the door.His face was pale. His eyes were red. He looked like he hadn't slept in days."Where have you been?""I found the spy."Cove's face changed. "Who?""Alfred."Cove froze. "What?""Alfred. He's been working for the Network. For years.""That's not possible.""It is possible. I have proof.""Where is he?""Here. In the kitchen. He wants to talk."Cove pushed past him. He ran to the kitchen. Alfred was still sitting there. His tea was still on the table."You.""Hello, Cove.""You betrayed us.""I protected you.""You lied to us.""I kept you alive.""You worked for the Network.""I worked for the Network to keep you safe."Cove grabbed him by the collar. He pulled him close."Tell me the truth. All of it."Alfred didn't flinch. He didn't fight back."The Network controls everything. Politics. Business. Crime. They've been in power for centuries. They funded Victor. They funded the Project. They funded everything.""Who are they?""Senato

Eli didn't know where he was going.He just ran. Through the streets. Through the alleys. Through the darkness. His heart was pounding. His mind was racing.The spy. The programming. The trigger.It couldn't be true. It couldn't be him.But the video. The evidence. It was all there.He stopped. He leaned against a wall. He tried to catch his breath.Then his phone rang. He looked at the screen. Cove.He answered."Eli. Where are you?""I don't know.""Come back. Please.""I can't.""Why?""Because I'm dangerous. Because I might hurt you.

Eli couldn't sleep.He lay in the bed. The room was dark. The motel was quiet. But his mind was racing.The spy. The Network. The listening device.Someone was watching them. Someone was reporting back. Someone was betraying them.He needed to find out who.He got up. He walked to the window. The city was dark outside. The streets were empty.He thought about everyone. Lena. Anya. Elena. Ruiz. Cove.No. Not Cove. Cove would never betray him.But then again, he had thought the same about Adrian.He turned away from the window. He looked at the bed. Cove was asleep. His face was peaceful. His breathing was slow.Could it be him? Could Cove be the spy?No. That was impossible. Cove loved him. Cove had sacrificed everything for him.But so had Adrian. And Adrian had been lying the whole time.Eli shook his head. He was being paranoid. He was seeing enemies everywhere.

Cove leaned back in his chair, watching Eli with those sharp gray eyes. The breakfast tray sat between them like some twisted peace offering. Eli picked up the fork but didn’t eat. He wasn’t about to play along that easily.“These rules,”

Eli couldn’t look away.Cove Voss stood barely three feet in front of him, larger than life and twice as terrifying in person. The penthouse lights cast sharp shadows across his face, highlighting the ruthless cut of his jaw and the storm-gray eyes that seemed to strip Eli bare without mercy. Up cl
