2025-11-15 05:06:19Elias’s eyes snapped open—
They glowed.
Bright, molten gold.
Powerful.
Dangerous.
Lena gasped and stumbled back.
Elias lay completely still on the metal floor, chest rising in slow, mechanical breaths.
Cassandra stepped forward hesitantly, gripping a medical scanner that trembled in her hand.
“Oh God…” she whispered. “It’s worse than I thought.”
Alexander snapped, voice cracking, “WHAT happened to him?!”
Cassandra didn’t answer.
She crouched beside Elias, scanning him. The device flickered wildly with golden error codes.
Elias blinked slowly, as if awakening from a thousand-year sleep.
He sat up.
Not smoothly.
His movements were too precise—
as if something inside him was puppeting his limbs.
Lena whispered, voice breaking, “Elias…?”
He turned his head toward her.
His face was blank.
Cold.
He opened his mouth—
But the voice that came out wasn’t quite his.
It was layered.
Heavy with power.
“…Lena.”
Her breath caught.
She took an involuntary step back.
Alexander immediately stepped in front of her.
Elias’s glowing eyes flicked to Alexander.
A curious analysis.
“…Brother,” he said—
Alexander’s heart broke.
Elias leaned forward, studying his own hands as if they were new tools he’d never seen before.
The golden veins beneath his skin pulsed with each beat.
Elias whispered the truth without understanding it:
“I am not dead.”
Cassandra exhaled shakily. “No. You’re not.”
Elias lowered his head slowly.
“I am not alive.”
Alexander flinched. “What do you mean?”
Elias looked up at him—
And for half a second, Alexander saw it:
A flicker.
The real Elias.
Then it vanished—
Cassandra swallowed hard.
“He’s become the purge vessel.”
Lena stared at Cassandra, horrified. “Explain. NOW.”
Cassandra stood, every movement cautious and calculated.
“The purge has two states:
She motioned to Lena.
“…or a vessel.”
She motioned to Elias.
“When the weapon refuses acceptance, the purge searches for a new host. It needs a mind strong enough to contain centuries of psychic residue.”
Alexander’s voice broke. “And it chose him.”
“Yes.” Cassandra nodded grimly. “Because Elias sacrificed himself willingly. The purge recognizes intent.”
Elias cocked his head, studying them like puzzles.
“My mind…”
“…feels… heavy.”
His fingers twitched—
Alexander took a cautious step.
Elias blinked.
A long, excruciating silence.
Then—
“You are Alexander Knight.”
Alexander froze.
“You are… blood.”
Confused.
Searching.
“…important.”
Alexander’s face twisted with pain.
He wasn’t Alexander’s brother anymore.
He was just “important.”
Lena stepped forward, tears streaking her cheeks.
Elias turned his golden eyes toward her.
just a little.
“Lena…”
Her heart leapt.
She reached toward him—
Alexander grabbed her arm.
But Elias gently lifted a hand toward her.
Not threatening.
Reaching.
His fingers trembled.
“I remember your voice.”
Lena’s heart snapped in two.
Elias blinked, confused.
He clutched his skull.
“Stop—stop—STOP—” he growled, voice splitting with distortion.
The purge energy surged through him, golden cracks splitting across his skin.
Alexander stepped between Lena and Elias immediately.
Elias’s head snapped up.
His eyes were now pure gold.
No pupils.
Nothing but light.
Cassandra paled.
Elias rose to his feet slowly, mechanically—
Power rippled around him.
Metal groaned.
He whispered:
“I am… purge-born.”
Lena gasped. “Elias—please—fight it—fight it—”
He blinked.
Struggled.
Warred inside him.
He whispered hoarsely—
“Lena… run.”
Alexander grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
“Move NOW!”
The bunker shook violently as Elias unleashed a burst of golden energy—
and the purge vessel fully awakened.

Dangerous Desire Chapter 72: The Choice That Breaks Her
Snow drifted through the torn opening of the jet’s wreckage, settling softly on Alexander’s unmoving body. Lena’s breath fogged the icy air as she tried—failed—to move him.Her voice trembled, desperate:“Alex… please wake up. Alex, don’t do this to me—please—”But he didn’t stir.His pulse thudded beneath her shaking fingers—weak, uneven, but alive.Relief and terror crashed together inside her.Sable watched her struggle with an indifferent curiosity, like observing an injured animal.“Touching,” Sable murmured. “Your devotion is almost sweet.”Lena’s head snapped up, tears freezing against her skin.“What did you do to Elias?”Sable arched a brow. “To him? Nothing. The purge did that on its own.”“Where is he?” Lena demanded.Sable’s lips curled.“Alive.”Lena’s heart stuttered.“But not… himself.”Lena’s breath caught in her throat.“What does that mean?”Sable stepped closer, heels crunching softly in the snow. She crouched gracefully in front of Lena, her gloved fingers lifting
Dangerous Desire Chapter 71: Freefall Into Darkness
The explosion lit the night sky like a dying star.White light.Golden fire.Thunder cracking across the clouds.Then—silence.A heartbeat later, the shockwave slammed into the jet.The aircraft lurched sideways—metal groaning, alarms screaming—and dropped like a stone.Lena was thrown against her seat, the belt cutting into her ribs.“Alexander!” she screamed, reaching for him.He grabbed the nearest latch, swinging violently as the jet twisted.“Hold on, Lena!”The world tilted.The floor became the ceiling.Loose equipment flew like bullets through the cabin.Cassandra fought to stabilize the jet, fingers flying across the controls.“We’ve lost the left wing! Engines failing—altitude dropping—brace yourselves!”The lights flickered—darkness—Then emergency red lighting filled the cabin.The jet nosedived.Lena’s stomach lurched into her throat as gravity yanked her downward.She gasped, breath ripped from her lungs.“ELIAS!” she screamed into the night—but there was nothing out
Dangerous Desire Chapter 70: Overload
The night sky burned gold.The surge of purge energy ripped across the wing, blinding, violent, alive. Alexander shielded his face as the force slammed into him, nearly tearing him off the metal.“ELIAS!” he shouted, voice raw.But Elias didn’t hear him.Couldn’t.His body glowed brighter—veins lit like molten rivers, hair lifted by static, every breath a shockwave. He looked less like a man and more like a star about to collapse.Inside the cabin, Lena screamed his name, her voice carried away by the roaring wind.“ELIAS—STOP! LISTEN TO ME!”But the purge inside him was drowning everything else out.Cassandra grabbed the cockpit mic, yelling into it,“Elias! You’re overloading the purge core! You need to stabilize—NOW!”He didn’t respond.His feet dug through the wing metal, molten gold dripping from his heels. The aircraft groaned, shaking violently.Alexander crawled toward him, pressing against the wind that threatened to rip him free.“Elias!” he shouted again. “Look at me!”No m
Dangerous Desire Chapter 69: War on the Wing
Cold air roared into the cabin as Elias hurled himself out of the open hatch. The night sky swallowed him instantly, wind tearing at his body.But he didn’t fall.A golden flare burst beneath his boots as he landed on the jet’s wing with supernatural balance — the purge inside him anchoring every movement.The sentinel turned its head toward him.Two red eyes glowed through the mask.It stood tall, unmoving, sword still embedded in the wing. Its black armor absorbed the rushing wind like it was standing on solid ground.Elias steadied himself and shouted over the storm,“COME ON, THEN!”The sentinel pulled the blade free.The metal shrieked.Lena screamed inside the cabin as the jet lurched violently to the side, sparks spitting from the damaged panel.Alexander grabbed the wall to steady himself.“CASSANDRA—KEEP US LEVEL!”“I’M TRYING!” Cassandra yelled back. “BUT IF THAT THING TEARS OFF THE WING, WE’RE ALL DEAD!”On the wing, the sentinel lunged.Elias threw up his arm — golden ener
Dangerous Desire Chapter 68: Into the Skies of Danger
The south exit of the bunker opened into a narrow passageway carved through stone, the air thick with dust and the hum of hidden machinery. Lena stayed pressed against Alexander’s side as they moved, her legs still weak but her mind alert.Elias walked ahead, silent, tense, every muscle rigid. The faint golden glow beneath his skin pulsed faster the closer they came to the open air.Cassandra led them quickly.“Hurry. The purge is reacting,” she said without turning.Elias’s voice was low.“It’s sensing something.”Alexander’s brow hardened. “Sable?”“Or something she controls,” Cassandra replied grimly.The moment they stepped out into the night, a cold mountain wind hit them, carrying the scent of pine and snow. In the distance, faint landing lights illuminated a small, camouflaged airstrip. A sleek black jet sat ready, engines quietly humming.Alexander’s grip tightened around Lena’s hand.“We’re almost there.”But Lena didn’t miss the way his eyes scanned every shadow, every treet
Dangerous Desire Chapter 67: The Road Toward Shadows
The bunker was quieter now, but only on the surface.Beneath every breath, every heartbeat, tension simmered like a storm waiting to break.Alexander paced the length of the room, jaw tight, shoulders stiff, mind already ten steps ahead. He checked weapons, supplies, maps—then checked them all again.Lena watched him from the side, still pale but recovering.He hadn’t left her side for longer than a minute since she came back to life.Elias leaned against the far wall, eyes closed, breathing slow and controlled as he fought to stabilize the purge inside him. Faint gold pulsed beneath his skin, but he kept it contained—for now.Cassandra typed furiously at the main terminal, the screens filled with encrypted files, satellite paths, and intel from an underground network Lena didn’t know existed.The group was silent… until Cassandra suddenly spoke.“We need to move within the next two hours.”Alexander snapped to attention. “Why?”Cassandra turned toward them, pushing her glasses up the
