SCENTBOUND Chapter 67 - A Family Reclaimed
For one second, he simply looked down. Then up. Then at me. "Oh," Lucien said. I went white. Theo froze with a spoon halfway to Aria's bottle warmer. Kael stood so fast his chair nearly tipped. Three guards appeared at the doorway as if summoned by instinct. Lucien inhaled carefully. "No one panic." I turned toward the hall and shouted, "Doctor!" I had already lifted him from the chair. "Rian, the maternity suite is upstairs, not across an active battlefield." "Doctor!" Kael moved toward the comm panel. "Medical team already alerted." Theo stood, clutching Aria. "Is this too fast? Should Aria be in the room? Should I be in the room?" Lucien pointed weakly at him. "I said don't panic." I carried Lucien toward the stairs. Lucien clutched my shoulder as a contraction began, stronger than the ones from the night before. He buried his face in my neck and breathed. I stopped halfway up the stairs. "What? What is wrong?" Lucien groaned. "If stopping on stairs becomes the p
SCENTBOUND Chapter 66 - After the Darkness
KAEL POV The hospital doors opened before the convoy fully stopped. Medics rushed Ilyana through first. Eli followed as far as the trauma doors before two nurses stopped him. He stood there in blood-stained clothes, shaking, watching through the narrow window as doctors surrounded Ilyana. "She needs the antidote monitored," Eli said hoarsely. "It was administered in the facility, but she needs serum stabilization every four hours. Damien kept the dose intervals irregular to make withdrawal worse. There's a second vial in the case. Third one too. They have to test liver markers, neural response, cardiac rhythm—" A doctor took the black medical case from me and opened it beneath the lights. "Who administered the first dose?" "I did," Eli said. The doctor looked at the injection log, then at Ilyana through the glass. "Then it bought her time." Eli gripped the back of a plastic chair and bowed his head. Across the hall, Lucien was being wheeled toward the maternity wing un
SCENTBOUND Chapter 65 — The Price of Survival
RIAN POVThe shot struck Damien in the center of the chest. Damien staggered backward. His eyes widened, more offended than afraid, as if death itself had no authorization to touch him. The remote fell from his hand and clattered against the floor. His pistol slipped from Eli's grip and landed near the broken desk. I kicked it away before anyone else could move. Damien tried to speak. No words came. He just stared at Eli with disbelief. He couldn't understand why something he controlled would choose someone else.Then he collapsed onto the black floor and did not move again.Silence.Then the building seemed to exhale around us. The alarms still wailed. Gunfire still echoed faintly in distant corridors. Smoke still curled at the shattered doorway. But Damien Voss was dead. Finally. Lucien made a sound halfway between a sob and a gasp. I turned to him. The relief that tore through the bond was so violent it became pain. Lucien buried his face against my chest, tre
SCENTBOUND Chapter 64 - Redemption and Sacrifice
RIAN POVThe gun came out fast. Aimed at me. The room snapped into motion. Kael fired, but Damien jerked sideways at the same instant, the shot striking the black desk in a burst of splinters and sparks. Damien's pistol flashed. A white blur crossed the doorway.Ilyana.Somehow free from the monitor room, she threw herself between Damien's gun and me before anyone could stop her. The shot cracked through the office. Ilyana cried out. Blood sprayed across her pale hand. She staggered, clutching her wrist, the bullet tore through the flesh of her palm instead of my chest. The force spun her sideways, and she dropped hard to one knee on the floor. For one suspended heartbeat, no one breathed. Then Lucien screamed. "Ilyana!" He tore away from me. I caught him, but Lucien was already moving, propelled by panic, pain, and the impossible stubbornness that had kept him alive through every trap. He gripped the edge of the chair he had been tied to moments before, then pushed onward
SCENTBOUND Chapter 63 - The Experiment
RIAN POVKael went still. The name passed through him like a bullet. Damien's voice went quiet. "Careful." I did not stop. "Elio D. 16 years old. Your first son. Weak lungs. Unstable scent receptors. Inconsistent pheromone development. A child treated as failed material because his body did not satisfy Black Crown's expectations." Eli stared at Damien in horror. Damien's mouth curled. "Sentiment ruins accuracy." "Elio died in the north facility during an illegal stress trial," I said. "Not an accident." Kael's breathing changed. For years, guilt had lived inside him like shrapnel. A dead boy. A falsified security failure. A whispered accusation never fully proven, never fully erased. My next words opened it. "Damien, you killed your first son and framed Kael for it." Kael's eyes shifted slowly to Damien. The rifle remained raised, but something behind it fractured. "No, how can Elio be his son." Kael said. My voice was merciless. "Access logs altered. Internal cameras
SCENTBOUND Chapter 62 - The Truth Unleashed
RIAN POVThe monitor bled cold light across the black office.On the screen, Eli knelt on a concrete floor with his hands bound behind his back, blood drying at the corner of his mouth. His coat was torn, one shoulder sagging. He looked smaller than he ever had at the estate, stripped of sarcasm, stripped of his careless cruelty, left with only the consequences of every bargain he had made.Beside him stood Ilyana.A guard held her by the arm while another pressed a gun to the back of her head. Her white dress made her look ghostlike beneath the harsh overhead lights. Trapped in yet another room built by Damien's will.Lucien's breath caught against my chest.I felt the fear through the bond before the sound reached me. It tore through the labor pain, sharp and bright. Lucien's body was already shaking from the last contraction, one arm gripping my vest with white-knuckled force.Damien stood near the black desk, one hand wrapped around the slim remote, expression bright with satisfac
SCENTBOUND Chapter 9 - Breach
RIAN POV The alarm didn't scream, it humed. I was awake before it finished its first cycle, that's what years of running does to you. Lucien was already on his feet, gun in hand, moving toward the door. Kael was outside, shouting orders I couldn't hear through the reinforced steel. "Stay
SCENTBOUND Chapter 8- Moving Targets
RIAN POV Dawn came too fast. No sunrise through the safehouse windows, just the artificial grey of pre-dawn and the low hum of the city waking up without us. Lucien had the car idling out back by 5:12 Kael was already checking out the main exits, moving like a man who had slept with one eye o
SCENTBOUND Chapter 7- Quiet Before
The safehouse did not feel safe. It was too small, too bare - one bed, one bathroom, a kitchenette that looked like it had not been used in years, Voss Biotech owned a dozen of places like this. Lucien called it off-grid and I called it a gilded cage with better locks. Theo was two rooms down, s
SCENTBOUND Chapter 6- Collateral
The facility was silent as a tomb.Concrete walls, no windows, air that tasted like disinfectant an old fear. I had been in places like this before. They all smelled the same when you stripped away the bleach. Earlier Kael had come and he took Theo away to another room.The front doors blew inwar
