ELRIC'S POV

I 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.

    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

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

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.

    I step out of the shower, skin pruned and red from the hot water that turned cold too fast. The mirror’s fogged, but I don’t wipe it—I don’t want to see the wreck staring back. Faint bruises bloom along my collarbone like fingerprints he never meant to leave, nipples still tender from his mouth,
