Fated In Darkness 88 Adrian’s Home2
NatalieLord Alexei vanished down the hall, and Adrian gave me an apologetic look before murmuring, “I’ll be right back.” Then he followed.Leaving me alone with his mother.It was strange—she looked barely older than I did. Smooth skin, ageless poise, the kind of beauty that defied time. If I hadn’t known what she was, I never would’ve guessed she was Adrian’s mother. But knowing the truth made it all make sense.She turned to me with a glint in her eye. “I hope he hasn’t been too possessive,” she said with a teasing smile.I shook my head, unable to hold back a small smile of my own. “No, he’s been... patient.”“Good. I always worried he’d lean toward territorial.” She laughed softly, then gestured for me to join her. “Come, sit. I imagine you could use something calming.”She poured tea into delicate porcelain cups as I eased into the chair across from her.Her English accent was crisp, elegant—too natural to be performative. This was her world, after all: old blood, old money, old
Fated In Darkness 87 Adrian’s Home
NatalieMy heart thudded in my chest like a warning bell I couldn’t silence.All the vampire stories I’d grown up with came rushing back—stakes, garlic, holy water, and rays of sunlight burning flesh to ash. But this wasn’t fiction. This was real, and I was walking beside a creature who defied all those rules.In broad daylight.I kept telling myself that should make me feel better. Safer. But it didn’t.With traditional vampires, you at least had options. Break a window, let the sun pour in, and they’d burn. But Adrian?There was no escaping him.And it wasn’t just him I had to think about now.If it were only Adrian, I wouldn’t have even considered escape. I belonged to him, in ways I didn’t fully understand yet—and part of me didn’t want to. But he wasn’t the only one here. There were others. And I didn’t know them, or what they’d do if they saw me as something other than his.He pulled me close, anchoring me with the kind of possessive ease that made my breath hitch.Then he kisse
Fated In Darkness 86 His Touch
NatalieMy heart pounded like it was trying to break free from my chest.There was a dangerous edge to Adrian’s touch now—something primal beneath every kiss, every brush of his fingers. And knowing what he was didn’t kill the desire. It heightened it.Seeing the sunlight on his skin helped settle the last flickers of fear. It made him real. Tangible. Not some lurking monster of myth. Just a man. A man who wanted me.Was I living on the edge?Absolutely.And I liked it.More than liked it.As his mouth moved down my body, trailing heat in his wake, I gave myself over fully. No walls. No hesitation. Just a crashing wave of need that drowned out every rational thought I had left.When his teeth grazed the sensitive skin along my inner thigh, my breath caught like I’d been shocked.“Adrian…” I gasped, my voice barely mine.He didn’t speak. He just acted—his mouth igniting me in places I didn’t know could burn. His tongue, his fingers, the rhythm of his movements—it was overwhelming in th
Fated In Darkness 85 Back To The Mountains
AdrianNatalie and I made breakfast together that morning in the quiet rhythm of the cabin. I didn’t touch her—didn’t even brush her hand by accident. She was still sorting through everything, and I respected that.She had taken it all in with a calm I admired, but I wasn’t naive. People didn’t just absorb that kind of darkness without it cracking them somewhere along the line. Maybe not in front of me. Maybe not today. But it would come.And when it did, I’d be ready to catch her before she hit the ground.She sat across from me at the small pine table, her eyes fixed on me while she picked at her food. I could feel her gaze before I looked up.“Is there something on my face?” I asked, then deliberately smeared a bit of jam at the corner of my mouth.She laughed, soft and unguarded. That sound—pure and unscripted—melted something in me. She rose from her chair, walked over, and leaned down to kiss me, brushing her lips against mine as if she’d been doing it for years.I didn’t hesita
Fated In Darkness 84 Back To The Mountains
AdrianBack at the cabin, I held Natalie in my arms as she drifted into sleep, her breath warm against my chest, her body finally at ease.She slept like she trusted me.That trust—after everything she’d seen—meant more than anything I’d ever known. She hadn’t just accepted the truth. She’d chosen me. Not out of ignorance or fear, but with full awareness of the monster I was.My heart swelled with something fierce and ancient. The need to protect her wasn’t just instinct. It was purpose.Carson had played his hand well. I had to give him credit.Luring Natalie to Blackgate through Lisa was a calculated move. There was no plan to let her walk out once she arrived. He’d expected fear to do the work for him—to drive her away from me and into his arms, where the danger looked more human.But Carson hadn’t accounted for who Natalie truly was. She wasn’t the kind to run. She didn’t flinch. She chose me—the unknown over the familiar. Chaos over comfort.She was my soulmate.And that meant
Fated In Darkness 83 Burn It All For You
NatalieI didn’t realize I’d been holding my breath until the car rolled past the Thank You for Visiting Blackgate Village sign. Only then did my chest finally rise and fall with something close to relief.It wasn’t safety—I knew that much—but it was distance. And right now, distance felt like survival.My mind tried to replay everything that had happened—the wolves, Lisa’s panic, Adrian’s glowing eyes—but I slammed the mental door shut. I wasn’t ready to process it. Not yet. Not when staying composed was the only thing keeping me from unraveling.“Are we heading back to the mountains?” I asked, my voice softer than I intended.Adrian’s eyes flicked toward me. “You have somewhere else in mind?” he said, the corners of his mouth lifting in a small, teasing smile—like the night hadn’t just nearly ended in blood and heartbreak.Of course. This wasn’t his first brush with chaos. He’d lived long enough for this to be routine. Maybe not easy, but familiar.I shook my head. “No.”“Then the m
