"I asked you about Declan." I trailed my fingers across large biceps underneath the clothing he wore. Cassien's fingers in my hair stopped what they were doing momentarily, before he began twirling them around my hair again.

There was a distinctive feeling he didn't want to let me know what Declan had to say. And that made a feeling of unease go through me. The Maestro exhaled, his breath tickling the top of my head down to my forehead, as our eyes met. The most beautiful shade of blue, cobalt blue looked back at me, his eyebrows pulled together a bit, as tiny creases dotted the space between his brows. He moved closer to me, his lips inches away from mine, as his eyes continue to stare into mine, like he could see my soul. Everything laid bare for him. I willed myself not to look away at how intensely it was.

Cassien's fingers left the strands of my hair, his hand curving against my both cheeks and holding me in place. His warm breath had moved from tickling the top of my head and n

  • The Darkest Obsession    Chapter 117

    Ronald's grip on my throat loosened, his fingers slipping away as his body went slack. He dropped to the ground beside me, landing with a heavy thud that sent dust scattering across the concrete floor. His eyes were open, unblinking, staring at nothing as blood pooled beneath him.I choked and coughed, my throat burning as air rushed back into my lungs. My vision was still spotty, black dots dancing at the edges, but through them I saw a figure moving toward me. Brown sandy hair, broad shoulders, green eyes that I'd know anywhere.Kyle."K-Kyle?" His name came out as a broken whisper, barely audible over the sound of my own gasping breaths. Tears rushed down my face, hot and fast, as I blinked at him in disbelief. He was here, actually here.He was on his knees in front of me in a second, his hands coming up to cradle my face and pull me toward him. We were mere inches from one another, close enough that I could see the concern written in every line of his face, could feel his breath

    Ronald's head cocked to the side, his eyes distant as if trying to remember something before smoothening out. He clasped his hands in front of him and looked back at me. "We created the black rose." His voice drifted throughout the space of the room. My vision was blurring as I struggled to make out the figures in it. Seeing no other besides Ronald and the fucker, I glared at Ronald through the thick strands of lashes."Created?" My voice came out croaked, the air I took in felt like a burn in my chest."La Rosa Nera was what Jacob named it, being Italian and all," he skipped a step. For some reasons he couldn't stay still. "Valentine and Isabel preferred it be called the normal way in English, The Black Rose."My face drained of all colours as I tried to comprehend what Ronald had just said and failed. My parent were part of the black rose?Pressing my lips into a thin line, I kept silent for him to continue.Ronald began talking, his voice taking on a wistful quality that made my s

    My brain scrambled, thoughts fragmenting and scattering like broken glass as I tried to find a way out of this. Any way out. Face pinched in pain, the throbbing in my cheek where Ronald had struck me radiating through my skull in waves that made my vision swim.Cassien was still holding his shoulder, blood seeping steadily between his fingers and dripping onto the floor beneath him. His face was taut, pulled tight with pain and fury as he stared at my uncle with murder in his eyes. At my side, Elias was almost unconscious, his body slumped forward in a way that made my stomach twist with fear. I could see the shallow lift and dip of his chest through my now blurry vision, each breath so slight I had to focus to make sure he was still breathing at all.My ears still worked though, as I heard my uncle continue talking, his voice drifting through the space like poison. And then my mind went to Duke, to the way he'd disappeared so suddenly from the base. Like something had snapped into pl

    Shock wrote itself across Cassien's face, his features frozen in disbelief as he stared at the man in front of him. Then dread crept in, slow and suffocating, like he wasn't sure who he was seeing or if what he was seeing was even real. His gaze found me on the ground and I watched the rage settle into his features, watched the way his jaw tightened until the muscle jumped beneath his skin. His hand moved to his back, fast and fluid, and in one motion he had a gun pointed directly at Ronald's head."Let her go." The words came out like fire being spit from his mouth.Ronald's smirk grew slowly, stretching across his face until it became something monstrous. And then he laughed, the sound echoing through the space and bouncing off the walls around us. When he was done, when his laughter finally died into something quiet and dangerous, he asked, "Where are your manners, Cassien?"Suddenly there was cold metal pressed against my temple, the barrel of a gun grazing my skin. I hadn't even

    I couldn't believe what I could clearly see. It had to be a dream. I had to be fucking dreaming. The burn on my bounded wrists told me otherwise. My head fell forward, taking in a staggered breath. A crazed laugher left my lips. I jerked back, and laughed. I laughed till the corners of my eyes started watering. I laughed till I couldn't feel the burn on my wrists anymore. I laughed till I drowned the sound of Elias ragged breathing beside me. "I want to know what's so funny, niece?" The man dressed in a black suit, standing in front of us adjusted the collar of his shirt. My uncle was alive. Ronald Laurent was alive and standing in front of me.I was on my knees, the cold tile biting into my skin through the fabric of my pants. My wrists were bound behind my back, the zip ties cutting into my flesh so tight I could feel my fingers starting to go numb. My hair hung in fiery waves around my face, stuck to my cheeks and forehead by sweat and dirt and God knew what else. Every breath I

    I was panting, breath coming in harsh bursts that burned my throat. I rubbed my arm across my face to clean the blood that had splashed across my skin, the warm wetness smearing before it dried sticky against my cheek. The blood wasn't mine. I walked further down the hallway, boots heavy against the tile, not bothering to give a second glimpse to the bodies I'd left behind. They didn't matter anymore. They'd made their choice when they decided to betray the Black Rose, when they'd chosen to turn their weapons on their own. She'll be okay, I told myself.I would make sure she got out of here, alive and whole. Jude deserved the world, deserved to be happy in ways I could never give her. I was filled with darkness, steeped in it so deep I didn't know where it ended and I began. I was dangerous, a weapon that had been sharpened and honed until killing was as natural as breathing. And I didn't know what I wanted for myself anymore.A man lunged at me from a doorway, his fist swinging wild
