One of Silas’s men lunged in, trying to force me down to my knees.

Wrong move.

    DAMON’S POVThe moment the last man near Silas hit the floor and the gun smoke thinned into the air, my body buckled— just for a second.Just long enough to feel the heat of my own blood soaking through my shirt again. Just long enough to understand one brutal fact:I was running out of time.And then— Sadie’s scream hit me.Faint. Far. Choked.But it ripped through my skull like an explosive charge.Sadie. Daven. Taken.“Give up, Damon,”Silas’s voice slithered from somewhere behind the haze. “My men are closing in. You’re running out of bullets, blood, and luck.

    DAMON’S POV.Theo’s grip on Sadie trembled, and his voice cracked as he spat the words at her:“Kill you? I love you, Sadie. Isn’t everything I’ve done enough proof? Even Daven is closer to me than to him!”Before I could react— before Sadie could pull away— Theo crushed his mouth against hers.A forced kiss. Brutal. Desperate.Sadie cried out against it, trying to twist away— and I nearly lunged.Nearly.The only reason I didn’t tear him off her was because the barrel digging into her ribs would’ve gone off.One wrong move, and she’d bleed out before I could blink.My hand curled into a fist so tight I felt blood seep beneath my bandage.

And I still didn’t know why Bella was even here, why she’d been dragged into this mess.None of it mattered.
