Alexander turned on his heel, already pulling out his earpiece and barking sharp orders into it.

Within seconds, two men fell into step beside him, weapons drawn, the weight of his rage radiating through the night like heat off asphalt.

Inside the SUV, Sarah leaned her forehead against the cold window, watching as Alexander disappeared into the shadows once again, her protector, her warrior, her husband.

The car sped off, headlights cutting through the city. And all Sarah could do was pray.

Come back, both of you. Please.

The cold was setting in.

Raven’s breath came in ragged bursts, harsh and wet in her throat.

The metallic scent of blood, her blood, overwhelmed everything else now, coating her tongue, staining her vision, clinging to her skin.

She had lost count of how many bullets had pierced her body.

Her left shoulder was blown open, her leg, fractured and useless, trembled under her weight. Every heartbeat was a thunderclap in her ears, every breath a war.

But still, she stood.

    The medic tried to speak, tried to tell him to move, but Alexander refused to budge. “Do what you need to. I’m not leaving her.”He stayed there as they worked, his hands never letting go.He pressed gauze, injected stabilizers, whispered her name like a prayer.For every second Raven kept breathing, Alexander fought harder, because if she died, it would break more than just Sarah.He couldn’t let that happen.Not now.Not ever.The medic looked up. “She’s going into shock. We need to move her now.”Alexander stood immediately, scooping Raven into his arms, ignoring the blood, the weight, the tremors in his limbs. “The chopper,” he said hoarsely. “Get it ready. Clear the airspace. Tell the hospital I’m bringing in someone I refuse to lose.”And with that, he carried her like a brother would a fallen sister.He walked through the smoke and wreckage, past the bodies she dropped to keep Sarah safe, past the guards saluting him as they cleared a path.And the only thing he whispered again

    Private line. Emergency signal.His body froze. For a split second, the hallway fell silent.He answered. “Carter?”But it wasn’t Carter.It was one of the men posted near the estate gates.“Sir… we have a situation. Carter’s dead. The car was attacked again just before reaching the estate. They took Mrs. Blake.”The world seemed to tilt beneath him.“What?”“They took her, sir. Masked men. Black SUV. By the time we got there, they were already gone. It happened within minutes.”Alexander’s fist clenched so tightly the phone cracked beneath his grip.The lights above seemed to buzz louder. The hallway blurred. And then everything snapped back into razor sharp focus.“She was almost home,” he whispered, his voice dangerously calm. “She was almost f*cking home.”Without another word, he stormed out of the hospital, barking commands into his comms, rage and fear coiling inside him like a tidal wave about to break.This time, they had crossed the line.And Alexander Blake was going to raz

    The bulletproof SUV had saved her from the worst of the crash, but the impact had still done a number.Her ribs hurt. Her shoulders were sore. There was blood dried on her temple, probably from a cut she hadn’t even noticed in the chaos.“You’re quiet,” the man smirked. “Don’t have much to say?”She smiled tightly. “Just wondering how much longer you plan to live.”He frowned.And then she tilted her head slightly, eyes gleaming despite the bruises, her voice sharp as ice. “Because the moment Alexander finds me, and he will, your life ends. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But it will be slow. And loud.”The man’s nostrils flared.He leaned forward, about to say something, when the van suddenly jerked.Sarah’s body rocked forward with the momentum, her shoulder slamming into the metal wall behind her. Tires squealed as the van came to a halt.“What the hell...” the man snapped, storming toward the front of the van. He pounded once on the barrier between the cab and cargo space. “W

    The room was too quiet.Not the comforting kind of quiet that Sarah once associated with dawns at the Blake residence, where the world was still waking and the breeze fluttered through silk curtains. No, this was the kind of silence that pressed against your ears, thick and suffocating, like it was listening. Like someone was always there, just beyond the wall, waiting for her to scream.But she didn’t scream.Not once.She had been here, wherever here was, for what felt like days. Maybe hours. Maybe an eternity.Her watch had been taken, her phone gone, and even the window in the far corner was sealed with heavy drapes and nailed wood.She tried to keep track of time based on the meals left at the door, but even that had stopped at some point. Or maybe she just hadn’t touched the last one and they figured she wasn’t hungry.Sarah sat in the far corner of the room, her arms wrapped tightly around her knees. The luxurious chair she'd been given stood unused in the middle of the space,

    Gerald chuckled.It was a sickening sound, too casual for someone who had stolen a woman and left a trail of blood behind.“You know, I must admit,” Gerald continued, “you always struck me as the untouchable type. Ice cold, unshakable. But now? You sound just like any other man who’s had something… precious taken from him.”Alexander’s hand tightened around the phone until the metal creaked. “Where. Is. She?”“That depends,” Gerald said lightly, as if they were discussing weekend plans. “Wouldn’t want to make it too easy. After all, you do like games, don’t you? So here’s one for you.”The line hissed slightly, then silence, followed by a soft mechanical click as if something had been pre recorded.And then the voice returned, this time with a lilting tone, like a nursery rhyme.“To find what’s lost, follow what’s cold,Beneath the ruins where secrets unfold.A throne once golden, now covered in dust,Guarded by silence and laced with distrust.But be not fooled by shadows and flame,

    Gerald folded his hands behind his back.“Make sure the voice system loops her audio,” he added coolly. “Let him hear her calling for help from a different direction. He’ll chase the sound and never see the real danger coming.”The lieutenant hesitated. “And if he survives the first wave?”Gerald smirked, turning his head slightly, like a man amused by a child’s question. “Then we bleed him out slowly.”There was a quiet pause before the man dared to speak again. “You really think he’ll come alone?”“Oh, I’m counting on it,” Gerald said softly. “You think a man like Alexander would risk Sarah’s life to bring backup? No. He’ll come exactly as I told him to, alone, desperate, angry. That’s what makes him human. That’s what makes him weak.”He tapped the glass once, firmly.“And when he dies here tonight, the last thing he’ll see… is that I’ve already taken everything.”A slow breath escaped him, almost content.“I want his blood staining the ground where his family once built their empi

    The silence in the room was thick, too thick after what Sarah had just endured.Her screams still echoed in her head, even though they had stopped leaving her throat.She sat hunched forward in the chair now, shackled wrists trembling, breath uneven.The tears she had shed had dried against her cheeks, salty trails that felt like they had been carved there.Her heart throbbed painfully, as if a part of her soul had been ripped from her and dragged into whatever pit they claimed held Alexander now.He’s gone, her thoughts whispered.But some small, stubborn part of her still resisted. No. He can’t be. He’s smarter than that. Stronger than that.Still, the images played on loop behind her eyelids, the video, the blood on his face, the defeated slump of his body. The sound of his voice begging for her life. The way they had shut it off with a finality that made her want to throw up.And worst of all, her own screams, captured and twisted into a weapon against him.But what Sarah didn’t k

    The chopper blades thundered above like angry gods, but Sarah didn’t hear them. Not truly.Her body sat slumped against the reinforced interior of the aircraft, swaying slightly with each shift of turbulence.Her wrists were no longer bound, there was no need. She wasn't trying to run. She wasn’t trying to fight.She’d surrendered.Not to Gerald. Not to Victoria. But to something deeper. To a grief that twisted her spirit into ribbons.He’s dead.The words rang like bells in her mind, clear and constant, each repetition carving a fresh wound.She couldn’t even remember how many times she had whispered it to herself.She didn’t know where the reality ended and her thoughts began.The line blurred long ago.Her fingers curled tightly around the edge of the seat as she turned her head toward the tinted window, barely making out the stretch of clouds outside.Somewhere below, the world kept turning, people shopped, couples kissed, children laughed. But in her world, it had all gone dark.

    The sun was dipping low over the horizon, casting a rich, molten gold sheen across the endless stretch of cerulean water surrounding the private island. Waves lapped lazily at the pristine white shores, and the sweet scent of tropical blooms filled the salt heavy breeze. Four years had passed since the darkness that had almost swallowed them whole. Four years since Sarah had been ripped from Alexander’s arms and nearly broken beyond recognition. Four years since Alexander had been confined to a wheelchair, only to fight tooth and nail to walk again, fueled by sheer willpower, physical therapy, and Sarah’s unyielding belief in him. And today, today was a celebration not just of survival, but of life. Laughter rang out from the sprawling beachfront villa, decorated with colorful ribbons, balloons, and flowers that spilled over tables heavy with food and gifts. Small hands clapped excitedly as the Blake twins, three year old terrors with grins that could melt glaciers, chased each

    Gerald’s world had flipped, literally and figuratively.The scent of leaking gasoline still clung to his shredded suit.His once polished shoes were coated in blood and gravel, and his jaw ached with every breath he took.The crash had thrown him like a ragdoll, flinging his body into a ditch after his vehicle, tires blown out from a desperate chase, had careened off the hillside road.He’d blacked out for a moment. Maybe more.But when he came to, it wasn’t mercy that greeted him.It was Darius.He’d heard the boots crunching over leaves and dirt long before the shadows finally stretched toward him.Then came the firm grip of gloved hands dragging his broken form to a clearing, rifles trained on him, and a half circle of men in black combat gear standing like a wall of death.And at the center of it all, Darius.Pristine as ever, yet colder than a winter grave.Darius stood tall, hands behind his back, his expression unreadable as he stared down at the bloodied man in front of him.G

    Sarah turned slowly to Alexander, her hand still pressed to her mouth. “We’re… we’re going to have a baby.”His eyes glistened with fresh tears, shock, joy, fear, all colliding in one single breath.He reached out to cradle her face with both hands, his broken leg momentarily forgotten.A baby.A child made from chaos and pain, love and survival.“I don’t deserve this,” he whispered hoarsely. “Not after everything I’ve done. Not after I almost lost you.”“You didn’t lose me,” she whispered back. “And you won’t. Not now. Not ever.”He kissed her forehead, resting there for a long moment, his tears soaking into her hair. “I swear I’ll protect both of you. Even if I can’t walk. Even if I have to crawl to the ends of the earth, Sarah.”She laughed through her tears, arms wrapping around him tighter than ever. “Then we’ll crawl together. And when we’re ready… we’ll run.”They held each other in the stillness of that room, at the beginning of something even greater.A heartbeat they hadn’t

    Sarah stayed curled in Alexander’s arms for a long moment, breathing him in like he was the only tether keeping her from floating away.His hand cradled the back of her head, his chest rising and falling in unsteady waves as if he still couldn’t believe she was real, that she was here.But then her eyes drifted down.Her gaze locked on the white sheets, crumpled and slightly lifted around his lower half.Something tugged at her memory, the shot.The sharp crack of a bullet.The sight of him falling behind her as she ran, screaming his name. Her stomach twisted.She leaned back slightly, her hand moving instinctively to the edge of the blanket, brushing against the thick padding of a cast beneath.Her voice was soft. “You were shot… I remember… I...”Alexander caught her hand gently, pressing it to his lips. “It’s okay. I’m here.”But Sarah’s heart had already begun to race again. “You were limping… and I saw… but I didn’t know it was this bad.” Her eyes darted toward the crutches now

    The first thing Sarah registered was the scent of antiseptic, clean, sharp, and nauseating.Then came the ache. Deep in her bones. In her chest. In the marrow of her soul.She stirred, her fingers twitching over crisp hospital sheets as her body shifted ever so slightly, and her mind scrambled to catch up.She wasn’t tied down. She wasn’t cold anymore. She wasn’t in that dark room. That house. That… nightmare.She was safe.Or… something like it.Her eyes fluttered open slowly, lashes damp from tears she hadn’t even known she’d been crying.The ceiling was a sterile white blur. The walls hummed faintly with distant activity, soft footfalls, medical monitors, the low murmur of conversation somewhere outside the door.But none of it mattered.Because he wasn’t there.And without him, none of this felt real.Her lips parted, cracked and dry, and she tried to speak. Tried to push out the name that had lived on the edge of every prayer she'd whispered during captivity.It came out broken a

    Alexander turned his head, his eyes bloodshot and glistening. “I’ll be a burden now. She’ll never say it, but I’ll see it in her eyes. Pity. Guilt. I’d rather she hate me than pity me.”“She’s not that kind of woman,” Darius said firmly.A pause. Then Alexander swallowed hard and asked the question that had been clawing at him since the moment the doctor said the word paralysis.“What if she stays… just because she thinks she owes me?”Darius’s brow furrowed. “Then you remind her what you both have been through. Remind her who the hell you are. And what you mean to each other.”Silence again.Then Alexander leaned back against the pillows and stared up at the ceiling. “Gerald got away.”Darius’s expression hardened. “Barely. One of my men put a tracker on his vehicle before he escaped. Victoria got caught in the crossfire. Gerald used her,” Darius replied coldly. “He doesn’t care who dies as long as he gets what he wants.”Alexander’s jaw clenched. “Then we’ll burn every last shadow h

    The sterile beep of Alexander’s heart monitor filled the hospital room like a metronome, steady and soft. The worst had passed, so the doctors said. He had survived the bullets, the blood loss, the surgery. He had defied death.But outside the room, just as Darius turned to check on Sarah again, something in her expression shifted.Relief.That was the first thing he saw.A full bodied, all consuming relief that weakened her spine, dulled her eyes, and uncoiled every taut muscle that had kept her upright through pain, fear, and heartbreak.Then she crumpled.“Sarah...!” Darius lunged forward and caught her just before her knees slammed into the polished floor.Her body was limp in his arms, barely conscious, her breathing shallow and unsteady. Her bloodied hands slipped against his shirt as he pulled her close, his voice sharp and commanding as he yelled over his shoulder, “Get a doctor! Now!”Within seconds, nurses flooded the corridor. A gurney was wheeled over, and Darius laid her d

    The woman he’d secretly crushed on since the first night he saved her bleeding and defiant.“Holy shit,” he muttered.But she was already in the driver’s seat.The moment her fingers wrapped around the wheel, she changed. Her spine straightened. Her breath slowed. The fear didn’t vanish, but it sharpened, fused into her bones like steel.And when her foot hit the gas, the tires screamed their fury into the night.The SUV became a blur under her hands.Trees melted past them. Headlights glared like ghosts. The world narrowed to instinct and motion.Sarah didn’t flinch when they nearly sideswiped a truck. She didn’t panic when the back tires fishtailed across loose gravel. She was in it.. back.Back to the part of herself she’d buried when she married into the Blake family.Back to Sparrow.“Hang on,” she said under her breath, glancing at Alexander in the mirror, his head resting in Darius’s lap as the man tried to stop the bleeding.“He’s fading,” Darius warned. “We’ve got fifteen min

    The air turned electric as Darius’s boots pounded the forest floor, his rifle cradled tight against his shoulder. His men moved ahead of him like shadows, silent, fast, lethal.Their coordinated breaths were drowned out by the distant echoes of gunfire erupting from the estate.Alexander was still fighting.He was alive.But for how long?“Alpha to all units,” Darius growled into his earpiece, “entry on my mark. Hostile count is high. Primary objective, get Alexander out alive. Secondary level anyone who tries to stop us.”“Copy that,” came a chorus of calm, battle hardened voices.Behind him, the night swallowed his words.But not all of it.He turned briefly, his sharp gaze locking onto Sarah, who stood beside the black SUV Darius had arrived in. Her body trembled, her eyes red from tears, but she had not collapsed.She hadn’t fallen apart.And that, Darius admired deeply.“Can you drive?” he asked, voice hard but not unkind.Sarah blinked, startled. “What?”“If this goes south, we’
