INICIAR SESIÓNI know some of you might say things are dragging, but I promise there’s a reason for it. I can’t give you a satisfying climax if everything gets wrapped up in a chapter or two. I need to let the characters sit in the mess for a while so that when the resolution finally comes, it feels earned. I know it can be tempting to want everything solved immediately, but trust me, I want the payoff to hit just as much as you do. Please bear with me while I let the problems simmer a little longer. This is how I want to tell their story, I really hope you’ll trust me enough to see it through. And if waiting chapter by chapter is driving you crazy, you can always wait until the book is completed, which will be very soon, then binge the whole thing.
I almost fell backward with it. I stared at what I had. It wasn't much, just a thin steel tray with a sharp corner but it was something. I turned toward the glass. I staggered toward the nearest panel of glass. Raphael was on the other side of it. I lifted the tray and slammed the corner against t
Leone looked down at him with pure fury, “He was inside this facility for too long. Armed. Moving through our systems. Killing guards. Cutting cameras.” Then his gaze landed on the phone lying near the weapons Raphael had surrendered. “And carrying a fucking phone.” Leone walked towards his stuff
I couldn't breathe, “Please! He can't even fight you!” Leone grabbed Raphael by the collar and pulled him upright once more. Raphael's head rolled slightly against his shoulder. His eyes stayed closed. His lips parted as he dragged in a slow breath. And then Leone started to hit him again like a m
“He dropped everything,” I whispered. None of them paid attention to me, Vance checked the pockets again anyway, then the ankle area. He ran his hands down Raphael's legs, checking beneath the loose fabric around his boots. He crouched lower and grabbed one of Raphael's heavy combat boots. He sear
Leone smiled and it made my stomach turn, “You're in no position to give orders.” “Stay away from him!” I yelled, my voice shook, but I didn't lower it. Leone released Vance and walked toward Raphael's cage. Every step made my pulse jump, “No.” He stopped at the side and looked down at him. Raph
Gianna ━⊰ ❦ ⊱━ Raphael was lying on the floor of the glass cage beside mine. His face was turned slightly toward me, one arm bent beneath his chest and the other lying loose beside him. His dark hair had fallen across his forehead. He wasn't moving. I pressed both palms against the glass separ
"You're even hotter than they said." "Please!" I sobbed, my face half-buried in the leaves, "Please, let me go! I didn't know... I didn't agree to this!" I tried to crawl forward, my fingers clawing at the mud, but he just laughed. It was a dark, mean sound. He grabbed the back of my black top and
Gianna ━⊰ ❦ ⊱━ "We’re moving in with Salvatore," Mom said. She said it while pouring juice, like she was just talking about the weather. I froze, my fork hovering halfway to my mouth. I didn't say anything at first, I just stared at her, the heat rising in my face until my skin felt tight. "No,
Raphael ━━ ⛓ ━━ "Five minutes are up," I whispered, flicking the safety off my bow, "The Void is open. Happy fucking hunting, gentlemen." With a surge of adrenaline, the men vanished into the trees, disappearing into the blackness I controlled. I stayed on the terrace for a moment, watching the
Raphael ━━ ⛓ ━━ I leaned against the cold brick wall of the mansion, my arms crossed, watching the show. Our soldiers were busy dragging in the trash, fifty men, all bound at the wrists, their faces covered in bruises and tears. They were lined up like cattle ready for the slaughter. This was th
