Cove leaned over his shoulder, watching every move. “Shut them down completely. Don’t let them get any deeper.”
“I’m trying!” Eli said, voice tight. “This Ghost guy knows what he’s doing. He’s probing every weak point at once. I

CLAIMED IN THE DARK Chapters 70
Eli ran through the pouring rain, feet splashing in deep puddles on the old dock. The fog wrapped around him like a cold blanket, making it hard to see more than a few feet ahead. His suit was soaked through, clinging to his skin. The platinum collar around his neck bounced with every step, a constant reminder of who he had chosen. The small pistol in his hand felt heavy and foreign, but he gripped it tightly.He could hear gunfire from the yacht in the distance. Flashes of light cut through the fog. Cove was in there, fighting alone. Eli’s heart pounded so hard it hurt. He couldn’t stay in the car. He couldn’t wait. Not when Julian was so close.The control tower rose ahead of him, a small, ugly building with metal stairs leading up to a glass room at the top. Lights glowed faintly inside. Eli could see a silhouette moving behind the windows — Julian, typing furiously at the master terminal.&nbs

Cove stepped out of the armored SUV into the pouring rain. The docks were slick and foggy, the kind of night where everything looked like a ghost. Rain hammered down on the concrete, mixing with the river water that lapped against the wooden pilings. The yacht sat at the end of the long dock, its lights cutting through the mist like a warning.Eli watched from the back seat, heart in his throat. “Cove, wait”Cove turned back once, rain streaming down his face. His black tactical jacket was already soaked. The bandage on his shoulder showed a fresh red stain. “Stay in the car. Lock the doors. Lena’s team is close. I’ll be back soon.”Then he was gone, moving into the fog like a shadow. Eli pressed his hands against the cold window, watching Cove disappear into the rain. The platinum collar around his neck felt warm against his skin, a reminder of the promise they had made.

Cove leaned in, kissing Eli deeply, full of everything they had survived and everything still waiting for them. When he pulled back, his storm-gray eyes were fierce with love and determination.“Then let’s go hunt a ghost.”The convoy moved fast through the rainy night streets. Rain pounded against the armored SUV windows, turning the city lights into blurred streaks of gold and red. Fog rolled in thick from the river, wrapping the docks in a cold, ghostly haze. Eli sat in the back seat beside Cove, his hands trembling slightly as he set up the mobile hacking rig on a small fold-out table between them.The rig was compact but powerful one of the new servers Lena had brought earlier, connected to a reinforced laptop. Eli plugged in cables with quick, practiced movements. Rain hammered the roof of the vehicle like drums. The wipers slashed back and forth, barely keeping the windshield

Cove looked at Eli’s fierce expression, the determination burning in his eyes despite everything they had been through that night. The penthouse was still dimly lit by emergency backup lights. Blood stained the floor near the elevator from the earlier fight. Marco lay unconscious in the corner, hands zip-tied, breathing shallow. Lena stood nearby with her arms crossed, watching them both.Cove shook his head slowly. “No. You’re staying here. This is too dangerous. Nikolai is desperate. He has men, weapons, and nothing left to lose. I’m not taking you into that.”Eli stood up from the couch, ignoring the medics who tried to check him again. His suit was torn and bloody. The platinum collar around his neck caught the faint light. His hands still had dried blood on them some from Cove, some from Marco.“I’m going with you,” Eli said firmly. “You need me the

Marco screamed in agony.The sound tore through the underground garage like a wounded animal. His eyes widened in shock and pain as the knife sank deep into his shoulder. Blood poured out instantly, soaking through his expensive navy suit jacket. The shotgun slipped from his fingers and clattered loudly onto the concrete floor, sliding away into the shadows.Eli stood frozen, still gripping the knife handle. His hand was covered in warm, sticky blood his brother’s blood. The platinum collar around his neck suddenly felt like it was choking him. His breathing came fast and shallow. The red emergency lights cast everything in a hellish glow, reflecting off the growing pool of blood on the floor.“I… I stabbed him,” Eli whispered, voice breaking. “I stabbed my own brother.”Marco staggered backward, clutching his shoulder with his free hand. His f

The elevator doors opened with a soft mechanical ding that sounded far too loud in the underground garage. Marco stood there, barely ten feet away, holding a shotgun pointed straight at them. His face was twisted with pure hatred. Sweat and dirt streaked his skin. His eyes locked on Eli first, then moved to the platinum collar around his neck, and finally settled on Cove with burning rage.Marco’s lips curled into a sneer. “Well, well. Look at you two. My own brother standing there like a fucking whore, wearing that piece of shit’s collar. You’re a disgrace to the Reyes name, Eli. Laying with the enemy. Letting him fuck you. Letting him own you like a dog.”Eli’s body went cold. He stood frozen beside Cove, hands still gripping the back of Cove’s belt. The garage was dark, lit only by emergency red lights that cast long, bloody shadows across the concrete floor and parked cars. The air
