Jeremy's POV

I had just stepped out of the shower when I heard a knock on the door . The sound made me feel uneasy. Recently nothing good came out of late night visits.

I quickly slipped on a pair of grey sweatpants and a white T-shirt and headed towards the door placing my hand on the door handle. I paused for a while taking a deep breath before opening the door.

Outside the door were three men in black suit, one of them who I recognized as my father's personal assistant and I'm guessing by their stance and build that the other two were bodyguards.

I raised my brows in confusion wondering why they were here and what my father needed from me.

"Why are you here?" I asked

"Mr. Blackwell requires your presence at the estate," the assistant said stiffly, his voice was without any emotion.

I felt a rising sense of unease. "At this hour?"

He didn't answer. The look in his eyes told me that arguing wasn't an option, but I refused to give in easily.

"Well, I'm not going anywhere. I'm tired a

    The masked man stepped forward, ignoring the guards that we're trying to block his path. His footsteps were unhurried, steady, and far too calm for someone who wasn't invited. The air shifted with every step he took like the room itself was waiting for something to break.My father's smile vanished instantly."Who are you?" he demanded.The man didn't answer.He didn't bow.He didn't hesitate.He kept walking… straight toward me.My breath caught in my throat.Why me?Whispers erupted around the hall."Is he security?"No, look at the mask, he doesn't seem to be one.""Is he from another family?""He doesn't seem like someone who is supposed to be here.""Why isn't Blackwell stopping him?"I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of every stare.My father lifted a hand, but it trembled. "I asked you a question. Identify yourself."The masked man finally stopped just a few steps away from me. Up close, he was taller, broader, commanding without saying a single word.He turned his head slig

    Damien's POV I watched as Jeremy stepped out of the café just as the lights went out inside. The night air caught the loose strands of his hair, brushing them across his face. He looked tired and his shoulders were slumped.I watched from the car across the street, keeping the engine idling at a low level. Six years, I thought. It's been six years since that day.'He looks thinner,' Kael growled in my head, his tone was raw and possessive. 'You're just going to sit here again? Watching him like some coward? Go to him, Damien.'"Not yet," I muttered under my breath.Kael snarled. 'Not yet? You've been saying that for years. He's right there Damien, our mate. Do you even feel the bond anymore, or have you drowned it in all that damn control of yours?'I shut my eyes for a moment. The bond tugged deep inside me, an invisible pull I've been struggling to fight since the day it first appeared. The ache of the bond was constant. It was a reminder that some things weren't meant to be resis

    Chapter 6"Jeremy, what’s going on?" Mira's voice cut through the fog in my head. We were supposed to be restocking at the café, but I had been staring at the same box for ten minutes. My hands rested on the flaps, unmoving, as if opening it required strength I didn’t have.I forced a laugh, but by the look in her eyes, I could tell how worried she was. Her brows pinched together, and she tilted her head like she always did when she caught me lying. If anyone could see through me, it was her. And I hated that I couldn’t tell her the truth."I'm fine," I said, my voice flat."Fine?" She set the box down with a thud and she crossed her arms. "You’re pale Jeremy, you barely eat, and you’ve been zoning out every five minutes. That’s not fine or is that your definition of fine?"I rubbed the back of my neck, searching for the right words that wouldn't make her think that I was lying. "I didn't sleep much."She frowned, her gaze softened, but she didn't let go of the issue. "You always say

    I woke up cold and aching all over. At some point last night, I must have passed out on the tiled floor. My head throbbed as the memories of yesterday came flooding back. I still couldn’t believe it, my parents had sold me out. Sometimes, the way they treated me made me wonder if I was even their biological child.Groaning, I pushed myself upright, my muscles stiff from the hard floor. For some reason, the room felt foreign, even though I’d lived in this house for a few years now. My mother’s harsh words still echoed in my mind, I still couldn't believe that she would go along with my fathers plan to sell me out. I rubbed my face, trying to shake off the thoughts, but the ache in my chest was deeper than the physical pain.Dragging myself to the bathroom, I splashed water on my face and stared at my reflection. My eyes were red-rimmed, hollow. I looked like someone who had aged overnight. Is this what they want? To break me until I stop fighting?I shuffled back into my room, but befo

    I stared at my mother shock and confusion etched on my face as different thoughts swirled in my mind. There were too many things I didn't know about, too many questions I needed answers to. What does my mom mean? How did dad threaten her?I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. "What do you mean by that, Mom? How did Dad threaten you?" I asked voicing out my thoughts.My mom bit her lips averting her gaze she didn't want to look at me and I did not know why but she looked scared."Answer me, Mom," I said my voice coming out in a cracked whisper."Your father told me that if I can't get you to come back and agree to the arranged marriage that he will have no need for me again and I don't need to go back to that house" my mom replied still not looking at me."I'm really sorry Jeremy, I know this request sounds selfish but I really don't know what to do I have no place to go and if your father kicks me out my family would not accept me back your father only gave me two weeks to bri
