Dangerous Desire Chapter 182: When Silence Breaks
Lena didn’t remember falling asleep.She only remembered lying there, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts tangled in everything Alexander had said — and everything he hadn’t. When she woke, morning light filtered softly through the curtains, casting pale lines across the room. For a moment, the world felt calm.Too calm.Her phone buzzed on the nightstand.A message.Alexander: We need to talk today.No explanation. No emotion. Just words.Her chest tightened.At the office, the atmosphere felt different — quieter, heavier. People moved around her, but Lena felt disconnected, as if she were walking through glass. She sat at her desk, opened her computer, closed it again. She couldn’t focus. Not when she knew he was just a few steps away.An hour passed.Then another.Finally, his assistant appeared. “Mr. Knight would like to see you.”Lena stood, smoothing her blazer, her hands slightly unsteady. She knocked once before entering.Alexander was standing by the window, his back to her,
Dangerous Desire Chapter 181: What We Can’t Undo
The silence between them felt heavier than any argument.Lena stood by the window, her arms crossed tightly around herself, staring out at the city lights below. Night had fallen without her noticing. Cars moved like distant sparks, unaware of the quiet storm brewing inside the room.Alexander watched her from across the office. His jacket was off, sleeves rolled up, tie loosened — signs of a man exhausted, not just physically, but emotionally. He hadn’t moved since she walked away from him minutes earlier.“You’re shutting me out again,” he said finally.Lena exhaled slowly. “No. I’m trying not to fall apart.”That made him flinch.She turned to face him, her eyes shining but defiant. “Do you have any idea what this has cost me? Every time I walk into this building, every look, every whisper — I’m the one paying the price.”“I never asked you to,” he said, his voice low.“No,” she replied. “You just made it impossible not to.”The words hung between them, sharp and honest.Alexander
Dangerous Desire Chapter 180 The Warning in the Trees
The forest had never felt this quiet.Not peaceful quiet —the wrong kind. A silence that presses on your skin, like the whole world is holding its breath.Lena stood between Alexander and Jay, her fingers curled tightly in her sleeves. The cold didn’t bother her anymore — not the way it used to — but the tension crawling up her spine did.The drone that carried Kass’s sigil hovered in the distance, its shadow cutting a sharp line across the snow.Alexander shifted slightly, keeping himself between Lena and the machine as if his body alone could stop bullets.“Don’t move,” he murmured. His voice was calm, but Lena could hear the edge beneath it. He was ready to fight something he couldn’t even see yet.Jay let out a low whistle. “Well… that’s definitely not one of the cheap drones. That’s her private tech. She never uses those unless she wants someone to know she’s watching.”Elias elbowed him. “Not helping.”Jay exhaled sharply. “I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking.”Lena sw
Dangerous Desire Chapter 179: The Road Toward Her First Failure
First Site — Minutes After the AwakeningThe glowing runes gradually faded, returning the stone circle to an eerie, ancient quiet.Snow drifted lazily from the sky now, catching on Lena’s hair and melting on the heat of her glow. She stood at the edge of the First Site, Alexander’s arm around her waist, Jay and Elias leaning against each other behind them.The air felt different.The forest seemed to bow inward—not in fear, but in recognition.Lena swallowed.“Did… did it really call me its heir?”Jay raised a trembling hand.“Yep. Congrats. You’re officially… what’s the word?Oh right—terrifying.”Elias hugged him.“You’re still the prettiest one here, don’t worry.”Jay snorted weakly.Alexander brushed his forehead against Lena’s temple.“Does it change anything?”She hesitated.“Yes.No.I… don’t know.”The truth was, everything felt different.Her senses.Her heartbeat.Her connection to Alexander.Her awareness of Jay’s unstable core.Her instinctive knowledge of the map glowing
Dangerous Desire Chapter 178: Called by the Core
The First Site — Moments After the AwakeningThe ground would not stop pulsing.It wasn’t like an earthquake, not really.It was more like standing on the chest of some giant thing and feeling it breathe underneath you.In.Out.Slow.Deep.Alive.Lena clung to Alexander’s shirt, fingers digging into the fabric as the pulse thudded through her bones. Her glow pushed against her skin, hot, too bright, like she’d swallowed a star that was trying to punch its way out.“Lena—hey—look at me—” Alexander said, voice raw, almost frantic.She tried.Her eyes flickered open, already glowing so fiercely white the world around her blurred into silhouettes and heat.“A-Alex…”“I’m here,” he said, holding her tighter, like he could anchor her to the snow with nothing but his arms. “You’re safe. Stay with me.”She swallowed, her throat dry.“I can’t… shut it out.”“Shut what out?” Elias shouted over the low rumbling beneath them.Lena’s gaze drifted downward, toward the cracked earth between the sto
Dangerous Desire Chapter 177: The Echoes That Remember
Kass — Location UnknownA soft chime echoed through a sterile white chamber.Kass lifted her head slowly, eyes glowing blue against the darkness.Her fingers tapped once on the metal table, long nails clicking like blades.A flat voice spoke from the hovering drone feed.“Last known coordinates recorded.Subjects L-01, V-07, A-Knight, and E-Hart escaped containment.”Kass’s eyes narrowed.The screen displayed snow.Footprints.Three human heat signatures.And one pulsing aura unlike anything else on the planet.Her creation.Her heart.“Lena…” Kass whispered, brushing her thumb over the screen almost lovingly.She flipped through the last seconds of the drone feed frame-by-frame.There.Lena’s glow—brilliant, unstable, fragmented—flared against Alexander’s chest.Jay’s resonance flickered dangerously.Elias was illuminated only by the glow of those he clung to.A living constellation of power and chaos.Kass smiled faintly, though no warmth touched it.“Still running toward what will
