CHAPTER 44 – BENEATH THE SURFACE

last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 19.03.2026 20:26:16

Damien did not knock when he entered the cabin.

The door opened with a quiet creak, and he stepped inside, bringing with him the cool scent of the forest and the weight of everything he had been trying to keep contained since morning. His expression was calm, but there was something beneath it—something restless, unsettled, refusing to quiet down no matter how much control he tried to impose on it.

Robin Hood was already there.

Seated by the wooden table, one leg stretched out, the other bent,

  • His Mate, My Spy   CHAPTER 62 — THE ANSWER THAT DIDN’T FIT

    Damien had never been comfortable with answers that came too easily.Even as he stood in the hospital corridor, speaking with the officers and his own security team, there was something in him that refused to settle. His voice remained controlled as he gave his statement, recounting every detail as precisely as he could—the moment Emily collapsed, the arrival of the ambulance, the way the medics had handled her, and how they had insisted on taking her in before anyone else could intervene.“I went with them,” he said, his tone steady but firm. “I didn’t let them take her alone. They brought her here, into this hospital, into that room. After that… things stopped making sense.”One of the officers nodded, jotting down notes, while another exchanged a brief glance with one of

  • His Mate, My Spy   CHAPTER 61 — THE LIE BETWEEN THEM

    Emily felt his presence before she opened her eyes.It was not something she could explain—not sound, not movement, not even touch at first—but a quiet awareness that settled over her, steady and unrelenting. When her lashes finally lifted, the first thing she saw was Damien, seated beside her bed, his body leaning slightly forward as if he had been watching her for a long time and did not trust himself to look away.Relief crossed his face the moment he realized she was awake, but it did not come alone. It came tangled with tension, with questions, with something unsettled that had not left him even now.“Emily,” he said, his voice low but immediate, as if he had been holding it back. “How are you feeling?”She blinked slowly, allowin

  • His Mate, My Spy   CHAPTER 60 — THE THINGS THAT DON’T ADD UP

    Damien had never struggled with uncertainty the way he did now.It wasn’t the waiting alone that unsettled him—it was the silence that came with it. The kind of silence that left too much room for questions, for possibilities that didn’t make sense, for instincts that refused to quiet no matter how hard he tried to stay rational. He sat outside the examination room where Emily had been taken, his posture composed but tense, his gaze fixed on the closed door as though staring long enough might force it to open.Around him, the hospital moved in its usual rhythm. Nurses passed by with practiced urgency, voices murmured in low tones, machines beeped steadily behind distant walls—but none of it grounded him. None of it answered the one question pressing at the front of his mind.What happened to her?He had asked.More than once.The staff who had been in the office when she collapsed had nothing useful to offer. Their confusion had been genuine, their explanations fragmented and uncertai

  • His Mate, My Spy   CHAPTER 59 — THE LINES THAT SHIFT

    Emily had never feared Knox in the way the others did, but she understood him well enough to know when something had gone wrong.And the moment she stepped into the agency room and saw the way he was standing—still, rigid, his silence heavier than anger—she knew this was not a normal briefing.This was fallout.The entire team was already there. Marcus leaned against the table with his usual ease, though his eyes were sharper than usual. Ralph stood nearby with his arms folded, watching quietly. Mercer was seated, posture straight, his attention fixed on Knox as if waiting for instructions that had not yet been given.No one spoke.The tension in the room settled like something alive, stretching between them, pressing down.Then Knox finally exhaled, slow and controlled, and lifted his gaze.“Everything about this mission went wrong,” he said, his voice calm—but it carried something beneath it that made the words land harder than shouting ever could. “Not partially. Not in fragments.

  • His Mate, My Spy   CHAPTER 58 — WHAT HE DIDN’T SEE

    Emily heard every word Damien said, even as her body lay still beneath his hands, even as her breathing remained shallow and uneven in a way that convinced everyone watching that she was slipping in and out of awareness. The haze from the drug had not completely faded, but her mind was clear enough to register the warmth of his grip and the quiet urgency in his voice. He held her hand in both of his, not loosely, not out of obligation, but with a steadiness that felt instinctive, as though letting go would somehow make her condition worse.“You’re going to be fine,” he murmured, his voice low, almost private, as though he wasn’t speaking for anyone else to hear. His thumb brushed lightly against her knuckles in a small, repetitive motion, and there was something in that gesture that didn’t belong to a man who was simply concerned out of politeness. “Whatever this is, it’ll pass. Just hold on.”Emily remained unresponsive, her lashes barely lifting, her body still caught in the illusio

  • His Mate, My Spy   CHAPTER 57 — THE COST OF CONTROL

    Emily had always known how to break herself without leaving a mark.It was a skill she had learned long before she understood what pain meant - how to take it, how to carry it, how to use it. Pain was never something to fear. It was something to measure. Something to control.But as she stood behind her desk, her phone still warm in her hand from Knox’s message, she realized this time would be different.Because this time, she hesitated.Her gaze drifted across the office floor, settling on Damien through the glass partition of his office. He was speaking to someone on a call, his posture relaxed, his expression unreadable in that quiet, controlled way that had begun to unsettle her more than it should. There was nothing in his face that gave anything away. No sign that he was hiding anything. No crack. No shift.And that was the problem.She still could not read him.Her fingers tightened slightly around her phone.Meeting. 6 PM. Mandatory.Knox’s words echoed again in her mind, shar

  • His Mate, My Spy   CHAPTER 34 – THE PULL

    Damien closed the bedroom door behind him and stood there for a moment, staring quietly at the floor.The drive back to the estate that evening had been unusually quiet. Normally he enjoyed those few minutes between the office and home, a chance to let the day settle before stepping into the calm o

    Emily sat on the edge of her bed, still wearing the same clothes she had worn to the lunch meeting earlier that afternoon. The evening had already settled over Damien’s estate, and the quiet inside the house felt almost unnatural after the events of the day. From somewhere outside, she could hear t

    The taxi ride through the city was quiet.Streetlights passed over the windshield one after another, throwing brief flashes of pale light across Emily’s face as the car moved through the nearly empty roads. The driver didn’t ask questions, and Emily was grateful for that. She leaned her head lightl

    The road leading into the forest was narrow and almost invisible beneath the thick shadows of the trees. Damien slowed the car as the headlights cut through the darkness, illuminating patches of gravel and fallen leaves scattered across the path. The city lights had disappeared miles behind him, re
