DAMIEN'S POV I sat in my car, watching Marcus' car disappear around the corner, its taillights fading into the darkness. Something felt wrong. I needed to know what he was up to. So I started the call and followed him for a few blocks making sure I kept my distance. He kept going around in circles and taking weird turns. One time he looked out his window as if he noticed me behind him On getting to the office I headed to the top floor in the elevator. The doors dinged open and I stepped into the empty hallway. It's been a while since I stayed this late at the office. Instead of going to my office I headed to Marcus's office beside mine. Pushing the doors open I stepped inside, the office was dark except for the glow of his computer monitor.. Everything was still as he left it. I traced my hand over the photos that lined the walls on his desk. There were two pictures: one of his mother, and the other was one we took on his second trip with me to the Netherlands; he had alway

DAMIEN'S POV “Let's go” Leah calls out already by the door. It's been almost a week since she made that ridiculous request but I have no choice but to fulfill her wish. “Coming” I say, dragging my feet. I've been giving her excuses since then and I've run out of more to give so I have no choice.“You seem too excited for someone putting themselves in danger” She rolls her eyes. "I'm not excited. I just want to get this done. There's a difference." "Is there?" She grabs her jacket and pulls it on. "You've been stalling for a week, Damien. I've been patient. I've waited. Now I'm done waiting, are we going or should I figure it out myself?" I sigh and grab my keys. "Fine. Let's go." The drive to the gun shop is quiet. She stares out the window, her fingers tapping on her knee. I could feel how nervous she was. "You don't have to do this, you know," I say. "Yes, I do." "You could let me protect you." "And what if you're not there?" She turns to look at me. "What if something h

ELRIC'S POVI drove to my father's estate and everywhere was quiet. I had told the servants to take a day off. I needed to be alone.I walked in, closed the door behind me, the sound echoing off the walls, and headed for my father's study.Everything was exactly as he left it. The half-empty glass of whiskey sat on the table, the ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts.I walked around his desk, running my hand across the back of the chair where the leather had worn smooth from years of him sitting in it.I could almost see him sitting there, saying, "You're late, boy. I was starting to think you weren't coming."But he wasn't here and I would never get to see him again.I walked through the rooms, touching things he touched. The worn leather of the couch. The cold metal of the lamp. The rough wood of the table where we used to argue about everything and nothing.I stopped in front of the mirror in the hallway. The man staring back at me looked like a stranger, with unkempt hair and

LEAH'S POVWe stayed there for a while watching the sunrise before turning and heading back home.The sky turned from pink to gold, and the waves kept rolling in as if nothing had changed, as if the world hadn't lost someone.Elric was nowhere to be seen after he left the hospital. He must be devastated. He couldn't even lay his dad to rest properly. No matter how much I hated Samson, he was still Elric's father and he must be in as much pain as I am.I picked up my phone and dialed his number, but he didn't answer.

LEAH'S POVThe drive back to the safe house is quiet. I look at Sophie in the mirror and see tears on her face; she covers her mouth with her hand, trying hard not to make a sound.I want to reach back and hold her, tell her it's going to be okay but I can't. Because it's not okay and it might never be okay again.Mom sits beside Sophie in the back seat, staring out the window. Her face is pale and her eyes are red. She hasn't spoken since we left the hospital. Emily reaches from behind my seat and holds my hand but she doesn't say a word.There was nothing to say.I stare out the window and watch the city blur past but I don't see any of it. All I see is my father's face. The smile on his face when he'd pushed the hair off my face and he said, "Dad? You haven't called me that in ages."I should have said it sooner. I should have said it years ago. I should have forgiven him when I had the chance.But I didn't. And now he's gone.When we pull up to the safe house, we all get out of

I want to tell her it's going to be okay but I can't because it's not okay and it might never be okay again.I pull out my phone and dial Marcus. It rings three times before he picks up."Sir?""Marcus." My voice is flat and cold. "I need you to find Cassian for me. I don't care how you do it. I don't care what it costs. Just find him."A pause on the other end. "Sir, we've been trying—""I know you've been trying." I cut him off. "But I need you to try harder. I need you to find him within 48 hours.""48 hours, sir?""48 hours. That's all you ha

LEAH POV"Damien?"My voice comes out smaller than I intended. I'm still standing in the doorway, the cool night air slipping in through the crack behind me.He's on my couch, legs hanging over the armrest, the loose shirt doing little to hide the bandages around his ribs. He looks uncomfortable a
