Damien Cross pov

I knew something was wrong. Immediately Adrian walked into my office with that look on his face his eyes says alot, the one that meant trouble had arrived at our doorstep again. He set a brown folder on my desk without a word.

I opened it. Inside were photographs, grainy but clear enough. Shots of Adrian leaving our building. Shots of me at a conference. Even one of us together, holding hands in the back of the car.

They were recent. Too recent.

“Where did you get these?” I asked, my voice low.

Adrian’s jaw was tight. “Evelyn. She said they were delivered to her this morning.”

The name alone was enough to make my pulse spike. Richard Hale’s hidden daughter. Ethan’s connection. A living reminder that secrets always come back.

“She thinks Ethan’s behind it,” Adrian continued. “And I believe her.”

I stared at the photographs again, heat crawling up the back of my neck. “If he’s watching us, then he’s closer than we thought, we have to act fast.”

Adrian didn’t panic, didn

    Damien Cross Pov“Damien… why are we moving again?” Adrian’s voice trembled beside me, fingers clinging to my arm. “Why are you… tense?”“Because he’s coming for you.” My eyes stayed on the road. “And I won’t let him get near you again.”“My… grandfather?” His whisper barely rose above the hum of the engine. “He’s behind this?”“Yes.” I tightened my grip on the wheel. “He’s been orchestrating everything, the attacks, the men hunting you. He wants you dead.”Adrian froze. “Why? I don’t even know him… why would he want me gone?”“Doesn’t matter why. He does. And I’m not letting him.”A pause. Then, quietly, he asked, “Damien… I don’t want you to get hurt. Promise me you’ll be careful.”“I can’t promise nothing will happen.” I turned my hand and grasped his. “I can only promise I’ll fight for you. Always.”“I trust you.” His fingers tightened around mine.“And that trust won’t be wasted. Not tonight.”“…Damien…” He hesitated. “Please… be careful.”“I will,” I said. “But staying here is d

    DAMIEN CROSS POV“Damien… you’re gripping the wheel too hard.”Leon’s voice echoed in my ear the moment I answered the call.I didn’t respond at first.I just glanced at Adrian finally asleep beside me. His cheek pressed to the cold window, his body curled in on itself like he was trying to disappear. Even in sleep, his fingers twitched. His breath shook. His lashes trembled like something chased him even in dreams.I forced a breath through my teeth.“He’s asleep,” I muttered.Leon paused. “…Good. He needs it.”“He shouldn’t be sleeping here.” My voice was low, sharp. “On the road. Exposed.”“You ran for hours. He was bound to pass out.”“He didn’t pass out,” I snapped. “He collapsed.”Leon sighed at the other end. “What’s your status?”“Driving,” I said. “Keeping him alive.”A short silence. Then Leon asked carefully, “And your head? Where is it?”“Not on the road,” I answered honestly.“Thought so.”I tightened my grip again. The steering wheel groaned in my hands.“Say what you ca

    LEON POV “I swear,” I muttered under my breath, dodging a branch as I ran, “I’ve seen a lot of messed-up things.”Damien didn’t answer. He was too busy sprinting ahead of me, Adrian in his arms, holding him like the guy was the last living thing on earth.I pushed harder, ignoring the pain stabbing my ribs. “Blood on concrete. Men crying for mercy. People selling out their own family. I’ve seen all that.”No response. Damien was focused, jaw clenched, pace relentless.“But this?” I huffed. “Watching you run through a pitch-black forest carrying Adrian like you’ll murder the air itself if it touches him wrong this is new.”Adrian whispered something against Damien’s shoulder, voice trembling. Damien muttered back in that low, dangerous tone he only used when he was one second from losing his mind.I had never seen him like this. Ever.“Damien,” I called, lowering my voice as I finally caught up. “We need to stop.”“No.” Sharp. Immediate.“It’s important.”“It can wait.”“No, it can’t.

    DAMIEN CROSS POV I didn’t think I reacted.My arm locked around Adrian’s waist, yanking him behind me so fast he gasped against my hand. I shoved him into the rock wall, covering his mouth before panic could slip out and betray our position.Leon froze mid-step. “That was close,” he whispered.“Shut up,” I muttered.Another click.Left side.A soft crunch.Right.I lifted my gun, lips curling. “They’re surrounding us.”Adrian’s fingers clawed into my jacket, shaking hard. I leaned back just enough for him to hear me.“Don’t move,” I whispered.He nodded against my palm, breath hot and uneven.Leon raised two fingers. Two attackers. Maybe more.I tilted my chin. Where?He pointed left, then right. Barely a twitch.I exhaled slowly. “They think they’re clever.”Adrian tugged at my jacket, voice muffled against my palm. “Damien… what do we do?”“We let them try,” I murmured.A shadow crossed between the trees to our right.I fired.The shot cracked the forest open. Birds erupted into th

    ADRIAN HALE POV He kept me upright.He kept me moving.Leon walked ahead, glancing back every few seconds.“Are you two doing okay back there?” he whispered.Damien didn’t answer. His grip tightened on me instead.I muttered, “We’re fine.”Leon raised an eyebrow. “I’ll pretend I believe that.”Damien shot him a look, and Leon immediately faced forward again.We reached a steep incline. Leon climbed first, mumbling, “Of course it’s uphill. Why wouldn’t it be uphill? Why can’t bad guys ever chase people on flat ground?”Damien ignored him and turned to me.“Give me your hand,” he said.I placed mine in his. His grip was warm, firm, grounding.Halfway up, my foot slipped. I jerked forward “Adrian ” Damien caught me instantly, pulling me into his chest. His arms wrapped around me like instinct, like reflex.“You’re shaking,” he murmured.“I’m cold.”It was a terrible lie.“No,” he said softly. “It’s not cold.”His fingers gently lifted my chin. “Talk to me.”“Damien… you don’t want to h

    ADRIAN HALE POV “Damien… what does that even mean?”He didn’t lift his forehead from mine. His breath trembled against my lips. “It means what I said.”“You can’t say things like that. Not now. Not after ” I shook my head, voice breaking. “Not again.”“I’m not taking it back.”“That’s the problem,” I whispered.His hand at my waist tightened slightly, keeping me close. “Adrian.”“No.” I pushed weakly at his chest. “Don’t… don’t look at me like that.”“Like what?”“Like I matter to you.”“You do.”My breath caught. “Damien ”“Say what you want,” he murmured. “I’m done pretending.”“Since when?” I demanded.“Since the moment I thought I’d lost you again.”My jaw clenched. “You can’t just throw things like that at me.”“I’m not throwing anything,” he said. “I’m telling you the truth.”I stepped back barely an inch but his hand followed me, sliding up to the back of my neck.“Adrian,” he said softly, “don’t run.”“I’m not running.”“You’re leaning away.”“I’m breathing.”“Then breathe wi
