Fated In Darkness 233 Behind the Mask
Adrian“Come on,” Dimitri said, moving quickly down the corridor. “There aren’t many windows in this place. Once I hit the emergency lock, all doors and windows will seal with titanium. Then Lancly and I can fight without worrying about sunlight exposure.”He sounded almost eager.I wasn’t.I didn’t care about logistics or strategy. I wanted Arya. I wanted Natalie. And I wanted this to end.We moved swiftly, entering a private chamber just off the main corridor. It had the look of recent use, scents lingered, warmth still hung in the air, but it was empty now.“Take him to the banquet hall,” Dimitri said, nodding at Carson. “Once you're inside, I’ll trigger the lockdown.”Lancly gave a small nod and moved to lead us out.“If we activate now,” Dimitri added, lowering his voice, “they’ll know something’s wrong. We need surprise. Blend in. Find the bitch. Then we move.”I understood. He wasn’t wrong. A premature alarm would alert everyone, especially Dragomir, if he was here.And we were
Fated In Darkness 232 The Storm Before Nightfall
AdrianIt took us four hours to move.Four hours of preparation, securing gear, triple-checking routes, and making sure we wouldn’t be detected the moment we landed in Ashberge. It felt like wasted time, but it was necessary.We took the dark cargo plane. Inside was a blacked-out van, already prepped and waiting. Dimitri and Lancly had to be fully covered, head to toe, against the sun. Not ideal, not comfortable. But this wasn’t about comfort.This was war.About halfway through the flight, Carson looked over at Dimitri.“Don’t you think it’s a bit reckless?” he asked. “Coming with us. In daylight?”Dimitri didn’t flinch.“We won’t step out until nightfall,” he said flatly. “That is… if the fight even lasts that long. Marlon’s a Dhampir, his estate is built to accommodate Strigoi. Lots of shaded hallways and underground levels. But we’re not taking chances.”He turned to me, eyes hard.“Park the van by the east fence,” he continued. “There’s an underground passage there. I used to liv
Fated In Darkness 231 Cell of Stone
NatalieI didn’t say another word to Arya. There was no reaching her, not anymore. She wasn’t just angry. She was hollowed out, resigned. And the fact that she’d done this meant she knew there was no going back. This wasn’t some impulsive betrayal. She’d thought it through. She’d made her choice.And she’d chosen to burn every bridge behind her.By the time we landed, I was blindfolded and carried like cargo. The sting of a needle dulled my fight, the drugs dragging me down until I couldn’t hold my eyes open anymore.When I finally came to, I was on cold stone. A cell. No windows. No door. Just four walls and silence.I didn’t call out. I didn’t scream. What was the point? If they wanted me to rot here, then I’d rot. And as much as I wanted to believe Adrian would find me, he always had, it would take a miracle to track me now.And miracles… were for other people.The scrape of footsteps pulled me upright. A key turned, a heavy lock clicked, and Arya strode in with someone beside her.
Fated In Darkness 230 The Abduction
NatalieI couldn’t let my mother sleep alone. Not after what she’d just learned. So I stayed in her room, curled up on the spare side of her bed, listening to the rhythm of her breathing until I drifted off.But deep in the night, something shifted.At first I thought it was Adrian, that weightless sense of presence that always clung to him when he moved. But I wasn’t in his bed. This wasn’t his room.Then came the pinch at my neck, sharp, sudden. My breath caught in my throat, and the world collapsed into darkness.When I woke again, the air was different, thin, cold, humming with engines.Panic hit me like a jolt. I sat upright as far as I could, only to realize my wrists were bound tight.An airplane.I was on a plane.And sitting directly across from me, legs crossed, watching with a smile like a knife, was Arya.“Well, sleeping beauty finally wakes,” she purred, her smirk dripping with satisfaction. “Sweet dreams?”My pulse thundered in my ears. “What is this, Arya? Where are you
Fated In Darkness 229 Through Her Eyes
Adrian I hit the button, the elevator humming as it descended to the lower levels. Carson stood beside me, silent but ready. The moment the doors slid open, Dimitri and Lancly were already waiting. Neither surprised. Both grim. “That bitch finally made her move,” Dimitri said. “She was in league with that bastard the whole time. I knew something was off about her friendship with your Dhampir mistress…” My gaze cut to him—sharp, cold. “Arya isn’t my mistress.” He caught the weight in my tone immediately. Took a step back. Nodded. Smart enough to recognize my rage for what it was—and who it was meant for. “I should’ve ended Martina when she came at Natalie on campus,” I said, voice flat. “But I listened. I showed restraint. Your pleas, Dimitri.” Now he understood where this was going. “I won’t make that mistake again.” “I have no problem with that,” Dimitri said quietly. Even he sounded disappointed. “She made her choice.” Lancly stepped forward, arms folded, eyes t
Fated In Darkness 228 Ash for Ash
AdrianOn my way to the elevator that led to the lower levels, Carson intercepted me, confusion etched across his face.“What’s with the commotion, Adrian? Is everything okay?” he asked, his tone genuine—too calm for what was unravelling around us.I had to clamp down on the rage pulsing through my veins. If I didn’t, I’d tear through him just for being in my way.I met his eyes, voice low, clipped.“Dragomir helped Martina take Natalie,” I said. “And one of my Dhampirs helped them do it.”The words hung in the air like smoke.Carson’s expression shifted instantly. His jaw tightened. His hands curled into fists.“I hate traitors,” he growled.That, I already knew. He’d been watching Michelle with the same suspicion I now held for Arya. But his distrust came from duty. Mine was something else entirely.Because Natalie wasn’t just someone I swore to protect.She was part of my soul—my calm, my fire, my undoing.And I would walk through hell. Burn the heavens. Rip out the throats of gods
