Pierce.

As the car rolled to a stop, I stared out the window at the house in front of me.

It was small white bungalow with a wraparound porch and hanging flower baskets that swayed gently in the breeze. It looked like something straight out of a feel-good movie—simple, warm, and completely opposite of the cold, sterile mega mansions I was used to.

Alexis reached for the door handle, but I stopped her.

"Wait."

She turned to me, eyebrows raised.

I pulled a velvet box from my pocket, fl

    Alexis.When I came to, everything was blurry.My nose and mouth is covered with an oxygen mask. The ambulance rocks beneath me, sirens wailing somewhere in the distance. A nun leans over me, gently buckling the straps across my aching body. Her touch is gentle but every nerve screams in protest.I blink hard, trying to clear my vision.Outside the open ambulance doors I see Pierce .He’s standing a few feet away, lifting something small and round almost like a soccer ball by its hair. There's Maxwell, wait a damn minute is that a samurai sword?! I squint my open eye, but can't make out much. My eye flutters, and the pull of exhaustion drags me back under.Nero’s face comes into focus as he leans over me.“Hey, you’re awake. How’re you holding up?”His voice is soft. “Like I got hit by a bus. Twice,” I rasp. My throat feels like sandpaper.I shift, pain jolting through every inch of me.

    Pierce. We split the second we storm into the compound. Nero, Zane, and I take the east side. Juarez, Max, and Leo sweep the west. The place has massive rooms, halls, and more doors than I can count. But I don’t care. I’m not here to clear rooms but to kill. Anyone in my way breathing that doesn’t belong to us gets a bullet. I don’t aim to wound. I aim to end them, painfully slow. Nero kicks one door after another. Zane covering his back. My blood’s boiling, my vision is pulsing. Nero slams his foot into the last door harder than the others. It flies open. The sight inside freezes me to the fucking ground. Luna is standing on a chair, her tiny arms holding up Alexis’s limp body. Her head tilted, skin pale, face so swollen and bruised I barely recognize her. Sierra lies on the floor unconscious. Fuck No! “Help us…” Luna sobs, tears s

    Alexis.Blood fills my mouth. It's warm, metallic tasting and thick. How do vampires enjoy this? I spit it out, coughing as my head throbs like it’s been split open. My vision blurs, but I manage to lift it slowly until my eyes land on Marissa.“Wake up, you stupid slut,” she barks.It takes me a second to register the weight pulling at my arms. My wrists are bound. Rope digs into my skin. My legs won’t move as I’m tied to a chair.I scan the room, and my heart shatters. In the corner, Sierra is curled protectively around Luna, shielding and rocking her. They’re both shaking. Luna’s tiny face is hidden, and Sierra's frozen, just like she always gets when fear takes overBut even as she's trembling she’s got enough strength to keep my little sister’s eyes away from this nightmare.I hate seeing her like that. It should’ve been just me.“If it’s me you wanted, there was no need to bring them,” I say, spittin

    Pierce.I didn’t think about it at the time. My mind was a mess after that day but now, I realize I ignored something very important.Zane tossed a folder onto the table from his briefcase. “Since things didn't make much sense that day, especially on the security detail. I ran background checks on Alexis’s two bodyguards and the agency they work for.” He said. I flipped it open. Before hiring them I got them from an agency with a good reputation. If only I dug deep The name at the top hit me like a punch to the ribs.Wayne mother fucking Bellows.Political financier, Motorcycle club leader and my mother’s lover. The senator isn't the only one who is vying to be my step dad. Mother loves being promiscuous. Wayne is a long-time snake with a personal security agency they worked for?” Zane tapped the file. “Proxy company. Wayne’s fingerprints all over it.”I closed my eyes, and threw the books

    Alexis .It had been a week since that night when the name Julie slipped from Pierce’s lips in his sleep and clawed its way into my brain.And I hated that it still bothered me. I rolled up my sleeves as I flipped the eggs, the morning sunlight pouring in through the tall kitchen windows. Pierce always said he loved when I made breakfast, but he never actually ate much. Probably because he was always running out the door to handle things I wasn’t allowed to know about.As I glanced outside, a black crow caught my eyeIt perched on the old oak tree just beyond the driveway, its beady eyes locked directly on me. It didn’t move or blink. It just gawked. That's so creepy. I heard footsteps descending the stairs, I turned to see Pierce entering the kitchen, crisp and gorgeous in a white shirt and dark blue pants.He smirked when he saw me. "Morning, beautiful.” He greeted.I barely had

    Alexis I felt a little lump in my throat as I watched Luna pack up her tiny pink suitcase. Two weeks had flown by like a fever dream. We’d done it all: zoos, trampolines, endless karaoke nights, half at my place, and at Sierra’s. Our throats were shot, our voices fried, and our hearts full. Luna had enough memories to fill ten bedtime stories for Grandma.School was back in session so she had to go home. And as much as I didn’t want to admit it I missed my husband. Two weeks without him had felt like two lifetimes. But he was coming back, and that was all that mattered. I’d talk to him properly after he dropped Luna off in Cleveland. For now, I could at least bask in the sight of him and pretend I wasn’t dying to jump his bones.“Uncle Zane!” Luna squealed, running up to Zane. Zane smiled, crouching to her level. “Hey, princess. Did the girls behave?”“Super good! I was in charge.” she said proudly, puffing her chest.

    Alexis.The clink of our wine glasses echoed through the room, followed by our laughter. Sierra clapped her hands, cheeks flushed from the wine. “I still can’t believe you actually flipped him off,” she said, smiling widely.“He deserved it,” I replied with a shrug, feeling the warmth of both the

    Alexis.I leaned back in the oversized tub as warm water hugged my skin and rippled gently. Outside the window, pine trees swayed in the wind.The bath salts made everything soft. But there was a sensation curling beneath my tummy. Must be the salts and essential oils kicking in.I closed my eyes a

    Alexis.I should’ve known something was wrong the second Pierce and Zane walked in with expressions so serious shoulders tense and eyes colder than usual. But I was too busy laughing with Sierra about what we should paint the ceiling. Now I sit frozen, my body stiff as stone, eyes locked on the la

    Alexis.It’s been two long gut feeling wrenching days since Pierce walked out that door and didn’t come back after that night. No calls or texts from him. He vanished like smoke, and it’s k!lling me.I try to act normal. I laugh with Sierra, cook, clean and folded clothes on repeat. But every time
