THE ROOM OF THE TAKEN

The mansion felt wrong, too quiet, too still, too aware.

Evelyn clung to Alexander’s arm as they stepped out of the office, both of them breathing like they’d been underwater for too long. Every hallway light flickered at irregular intervals, like the mansion itself had a heartbeat and it was skipping.

Alexander moved fast, not running, but close. He kept Evelyn behind him, his hand wrapped so tightly around hers she couldn’t tell if he was grounding her or himself.

“Stay close,” he murmured.

  • Hate Me Till You Love Me   THE FOUR CROWNS

    The baby said the name again.“Lucien.”One word.One tiny, impossible word.Yet it was enough to bring the entire world to a standstill.Lucien remained on his knees.His face had lost every trace of color.He stared at the newborn in Evelyn’s arms as though he were looking at a ghost.Or worse.A memory that had refused to die.“No,” he whispered.Evelyn tightened her hold on the baby.Alexander stood beside her, his eyes fixed on Lucien.Adrian had gone completely still.Firstborn watched all of them with an expression Evelyn couldn’t read.Above them, the four crown symbols continued glowing.Alexander’s.Adrian’s.Firstborn’s.And the faint symbol on the newborn’s forehead.Four crowns.Four different lights.Yet somehow they belonged together.Evelyn looked at Lucien.“You said Adrian was the first.”Lucien didn’t answer.“You said Alexander was the second.”Nothing.“You said there were other versions.”Lucien lowered his head.“I was wrong.”Evelyn’s voice sharpened.“About wh

  • Hate Me Till You Love Me   THE THING BEFORE THE ECHO

    Evelyn had seen Alexander afraid before.She had seen it in the mansion when he thought she was dead.She had seen it in the hospital when memories of his death at seventeen came rushing back.She had seen it when Adrian disappeared into the first door.She had even seen it when the Echo wore his face and tried to turn him against her.But this was different.This was not fear for himself.It was recognition.The kind of recognition that made a person realize the nightmare standing in front of them had once been part of their life.“Alexander?”He didn’t answer.His eyes remained fixed on the enormous shadow beyond the white field.The thing had no body.No face.Only two enormous eyes burning through the darkness.And yet Evelyn knew it was watching her.Watching all of them.Firstborn had stopped crying.The newborn in Evelyn’s arms was silent too.Even the Echo had disappeared.For the first time since Evelyn entered this impossible world, there was no voice demanding anything from

  • Hate Me Till You Love Me   THE CHILD BEFORE THE BEGINNING

    The door slammed shut.The sound echoed through the room like a gunshot.Evelyn stood frozen.Alexander was beside her.Adrian stood a few feet away, staring at the closed white door.Firstborn was behind them.And none of them spoke.The little girl was gone.The baby was gone.The room had returned to silence.But Evelyn could still hear the words.Your first child.She turned slowly toward Alexander.“You said you remember him.”Alexander didn’t answer immediately.His face had gone pale.“What do you remember?”His eyes stayed fixed on the white door.“I don’t know.”“That isn’t what I asked.”Alexander finally looked at her.“I remember holding him.”Evelyn’s heart tightened.“Where?”“A room.”“What room?”“I don’t know.”“You remember the baby?”“Yes.”Alexander took a slow breath.“I remember you.”Evelyn stepped closer.“You were there?”“I was always there.”His voice cracked.“I remember you crying.”Evelyn stared at him.“When?”“Before I knew your name.”Something cold mo

  • Hate Me Till You Love Me   THE CHOICE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

    The scream that followed the words CHOICE ACCEPTED was not human.It was not even the sound of something alive.It was the sound of a world breaking.The walls around Evelyn trembled violently. Cracks raced across the floor beneath her feet, splitting the black surface into hundreds of glowing lines. The crown symbols burning on Alexander’s and Adrian’s foreheads flashed at the same time, sending a wave of silver light through the chamber.Evelyn did not let go of either man.Alexander stood on her right.Adrian stood on her left.For the first time, they were not fighting for the same space.They were standing together.And the Echo hated it.“No!” the voice screamed.The word came from everywhere.From the ceiling.From the floor.From the walls.From the memories trapped inside them.“No, no, no, no…”Evelyn tightened her grip on Alexander’s hand.Then on Adrian’s.“You don’t get to decide who stays.”The chamber shook harder.Alexander looked at her.There was something different

  • Hate Me Till You Love Me   THE SHADOW THAT CAME BACK

    Evelyn stopped breathing.A second shadow stood behind Alexander.It wasn’t shaped like him.Not completely.It had Alexander’s height, but its shoulders were broader. Its head was slightly lowered, and the darkness around it seemed to move independently, crawling across the floor like smoke searching for somewhere to hide.Alexander turned.There was nothing behind him.Then he looked back at Evelyn.“What is it?”Evelyn couldn’t answer.Her mother was staring at the shadow.Her face had gone completely pale.“Mother?”She shook her head.“Don’t let it touch him.”Alexander stepped closer to Evelyn.“What?”“Don’t let the shadow touch Alexander.”The shadow moved.One step.Evelyn immediately grabbed Alexander’s hand.“Stay with me.”He looked at her.“I am.”The shadow stopped.It seemed to react to their joined hands.Then it smiled.Evelyn knew it shouldn’t have been possible.A shadow shouldn’t have a face.But this one did.A face slowly formed inside the darkness.Alexander’s f

  • Hate Me Till You Love Me   THE NAME BEFORE EVELYN

    “Elarienne.”The name echoed through the darkness.Evelyn couldn’t breathe.For a moment, she thought she had misheard it.Then the voice said it again.“Elarienne.”Something inside her answered.Not with words.With recognition.A sharp pain tore through her head, and Evelyn stumbled backward. Alexander caught her before she could fall, his arms tightening around her waist.“Evelyn.”She gripped his shirt.“I know that name.”The woman beside her, the one who had called herself her sister, closed her eyes.“I knew you would.”Alexander looked at her.“What does it mean?”The woman didn’t answer immediately.Instead, she looked toward the enormous darkness beneath the roots of the white tree.“It means she remembers.”The ground shook.The firstborn began crying.Gabriel stepped forward.“We have to leave.”Evelyn looked at him.“You knew.”Gabriel stopped.“You knew my name.”“Yes.”“For how long?”“Longer than I can explain.”“Then explain anyway.”Gabriel looked toward the darknes

  • Hate Me Till You Love Me   Afterlight

    The world had gone quiet. Too quiet.Evelyn woke to the sound of waves lapping against the shore, it was gentle, rhythmic, utterly at odds with the chaos she and Alexander had survived. For a long moment, she lay still, staring up at the wooden ceiling of the seaside cottage. The boards creaked wit

    For a long time, Evelyn didn’t move.The rain had stopped, but the world outside still looked bruised and gray. Through the fogged glass, she could see his silhouette, his broad shoulders, hands resting at his sides, face tilted slightly down like a man waiting for judgment. Alexander Kane.The man

    The morning came like a thief quiet, pale, and merciless.The sunlight slipped through the curtains in thin golden blades, cutting across the bedroom floor. It glinted off the glass, the marble, and the edges of the silk sheets that still held the faint imprint of Alexander’s body.Evelyn sat up sl

  • Hate Me Till You Love Me   THE BREACH

    The darkness didn’t just fall.It collapsed, like a wave of ink pouring over the world.For a full, paralyzing second, Evelyn couldn’t hear anything except her own heartbeat pounding against her ribs. Every breath felt stolen, cut short, swallowed by the void pressing into her lungs. No light, no w
