Chapter 6

Author: Golden Muggle
The guards hauled Damian out before he could finish.

Lila?

What had she told him about Adrian?

The crisis was over, but the wedding was ruined. Our guests were pale and shaken, and my father's face might as well have been carved from stone.

Adrian took my hand.

"I'm sorry," he said quietly. "I let them wreck our wedding."

"This wasn't your fault."

The performance had belonged to Damian alone.

Still, his unfinished warning lodged under my skin like a splinter.

    His clothes didn't fit. His face was bruised, but he stared at me with the fierce, unblinking eyes of a wolf.The boy was Adrian.The memory came back in a rush. I'd been sixteen, outside the Vale family's training gym, teaching a lesson to a group of street punks who had come looking for trouble."You were there?"Adrian's voice turned rough."I was one of them. An enemy of your father paid our crew to go provoke the Vales."I stopped breathing."I stayed at the back. Before I had a chance to move, you came storming outside."He laughed without humor."Your whip caught the guy next to me, but it woke me up too. "That was the first time I understood a woman could live like that—like a fire nobody could put out.""I left the crew that night. I decided I'd get strong enough to stand out in the open beside you one day instead of hiding in the shadows."Adrian lifted the dried petal."This fell out of your hair after the fight."Then he picked up the ticket."You mentioned

    This time, I wasn't marrying to punish anyone or to secure an alliance.I just wanted the man standing in front of me.I wanted a lifetime with him.Our second wedding was private. No guests, only Adrian, me, and the officiant.In a small chapel full of sunlight, we exchanged rings.When Adrian kissed me, I closed my eyes and felt a peace I'd never known before.Married life was quiet and happy.Adrian spoiled me shamelessly. He made breakfast himself, it never tasted particularly good. He sat reading beside me while I worked, content to share the room without interrupting. He remembered every anniversary and always prepared a surprise for me.People in our world joked that the Blackwood Reaper had married the Vale heiress and lost all his sharp edges.They were wrong.Adrian was every bit as dangerous as before. He'd simply sheathed every blade for me and let only me touch the softest part of him.Once, I asked him when he'd started loving me.He thought about it for a lon

    "Leave me!" Damian shouted. "Vivian, run!"I looked at Lila's twisted expression, then at the man barely conscious against the column.I started to bend my knees as though I meant to obey. My hand slipped toward the signal transmitter hidden in my pocket.Before I could press it, the warehouse doors flew inward under a powerful kick.Blinding daylight flooded the room.Adrian stood in the opening with his men behind him.His gaze swept the warehouse and landed on me. Something terrifying came into his eyes."You're all dead," he said.His people rushed the K Syndicate men, and the warehouse erupted into chaos.Adrian went straight for Lila.Her face changed. She grabbed for Damian, meaning to use him as a hostage, but she was never going to match Adrian's speed.He kicked the knife out of her hand, closed one hand around her throat, and lifted her off the floor."Who gave you permission to touch what's mine?"His voice was colder than ice.Lila's face darkened as she claw

    The next few days passed without incident.Damian vanished so completely he might never have existed.Adrian stayed close. We went out to dinner, wandered through shops, and sat together in dark movie theaters like any couple newly in love.Our relationship changed in the quiet of those ordinary days.I got used to his company, and to his occasional possessiveness and tenderness.I started to believe life might settle into something good.Then an unfamiliar number called me.Lila's tearful voice came through the phone."Miss Vale, please, you have to save Damian."He's going after the K Syndicate because of you. They'll kill him."I frowned. "Where is he?"She gave me an address at an abandoned shipping yard beyond the city.I ended the call, grabbed my keys, and left without hesitating.Adrian was out. I tried to call him and got no answer.I couldn't wait.I knew Lila was setting a trap. She certainly wasn't calling out of kindness.But Damian had spent too many years

Our guests were pale and shaken, and my father's face might as well have been carved from stone.Adrian took my hand."I'm sorry," he said quietly. "I let them wreck our wedding.""This wasn't your fault."The performance had belonged to Damian alone.Still, his unfinished warning lodged under my skin like a splinter.There was no salvaging the ceremony. Adrian calmed our guests and sent everyone home.I didn't speak on the drive back."You're thinking about what Damian said," he observed."Who is Lila Hart?""No one who matters."The dismissal told me the opposite.Damian was reckless, but he wasn't stupid. If Lila had talked him into risking everything, she'd been whispering in his ear for a long time."Adrian, are you hiding something from me?"He went quiet. When he finally looked at me, his dark eyes seemed bottomless."S

    Damian's most reckless men crowded in behind him.They'd already surrounded the chapel.The guests cried out, and the room dissolved into panic.Damian ignored every scream. His gaze came straight for me, sharp enough to cut."Vivi. Come here."His voice sounded scraped raw, like something that had clawed its way out of hell.Adrian put himself between us at once."Touch her and see what happens."Damian raised the detonator."This has nothing to do with you, Blackwood. Get out of my way!"He swept his glare across the chapel."I've packed this place with explosives. Anyone who wants to live should stay out of my way!"He'd gone mad.Truly, completely mad.My father shook with rage."You treacherous bastard."Damian laughed, wild and unhinged."You taught me this, Boss. If you want something, you take it by any means necessary."His obsessive stare found me again."Now I'm taking back my woman."Nobody moved."One last time, Vivi. Are you coming to me?"The chapel
