Anastasia“We need to keep it quiet and move fast,” she instructed. “You were supposed to go to that party tonight, but we’ve got more pressing issues to deal with.” Her words were cryptic, but I couldn’t really argue with her. Since arriving here, she was the only familiar face I’d seen. Her presence was a small comfort in the midst of my confusion. She snapped the ankle cuff off with ease, as if it were made of plastic, and lifted me off the ground with a firm grip, making sure I didn’t collapse.“I’m a bit confused,” I said as she draped my arm around her shoulders to help me stay upright. My legs felt tingly and weak. “How did you end up here?”“Zen brought us here to help Darius with a business deal,” Margo explained quickly, guiding me through the dim, damp corridors of the old prison. “Hugo mentioned you. Are you doing alright?”“I don’t really know,” I admitted, gritting my teeth as we walked on the wet, grassy floor. The rain stung my wounds, intensifying the pain. “I’m compl

Anastasia This was the guy Hugo had warned me about. Hugo had shown me a picture on his phone and casually mentioned that Frederick was coming for me. Sure, he showed up, but he brought my whole family along for the ride. It didn’t make sense. Frederick didn’t even look in my direction. He stared at the floor, as if it held some kind of magic that would make everything better.“Got any other questions?” Frederick’s voice was flat, and he kept avoiding eye contact. I couldn’t tell if he was just messing with me or if he was trying to test me. I felt so weak, like I had no control. I had gone over every rule and order I’d been given, knowing that breaking them meant trouble. Did Frederick act differently when he wasn’t around my brother? “Sure,” I replied, trying to sound more confident than I felt.“I told him that you said I was running away from you, sir,” I said, my voice rough and scratchy from waking up. It was worse than usual. “Hugo,” Frederick murmured, his voice carrying a mi

I couldn’t stop thinking about that night we shared our first kiss in her room at Hugo’s estate. She looked at me and asked, “Hey, can I ask you something?”“So, like, what’s the deal with all this?” She nailed it, repeating exactly what I’d said.“It means savior,” I explained, my voice strained as tears welled up in my eyes.“And this one?” she asked, pointing again.“Dude,” I thought about the memory as it replayed right before my eyes. After so many losses, it gave me a fleeting spark of hope. “Hey, how can I assist you?” The room was eerily quiet, with only the crackling of the fire and her steady breathing breaking the silence. “You gotta have oxygen,” I added.“Sure,” she replied, giving me a closer look.“Is this okay?” I casually slid my arm between her knees as she nodded, then wrapped my other arm around her back. “You doing alright?”“Yeah,” she murmured softly. I lifted her from the ground and held her tightly. It was the comfort I had been craving, but I still longed for

"Not yet, babe," he murmured, his warm breath tickling my neck as he continued to move me with practiced ease. One hand held me securely, while the other playfully tangled in my hair. "You're like the whole universe to me.""I really dig you," I confessed, shutting my eyes as his hand settled at the back of my neck. Despite sending me to Margo three times, he wasn’t quite ready to finish. He rested his head against mine, and his strength was palpable, making me shiver with the sheer force of his presence. His control was far superior to mine. I could feel his breathing slow and steady as he lay beside me, his fingers gently tracing my skin.He took in my physique, his gaze thoughtful as we lay together, our legs entwined beneath the blanket. I relished the feeling of running my fingers through his smooth hair, its texture almost soothing me to sleep. I hadn't realized how much I valued these moments of closeness and protection until they were so deeply felt. You don’t truly appreciate

“Anastasia, don’t go along with it!” Frederick’s voice cut through my resolve, but I didn’t acknowledge him. Bellamy’s smile, so calm and self-assured, told me he was confident he’d come out on top.Bellamy flicked his fingers, signaling two boys from the hallway to help him carry Nereus and Cassius down to the basement. “They’ll be fine,” he said, his tone casual.“Hey, Anastasia, please don’t do this!” Frederick pleaded, but his words barely registered as my tears finally broke free. His shouts echoed through the house, a haunting soundtrack to the chaos.“Just follow my rules and nobody gets hurt. Can’t guarantee the same for others though.” Bellamy placed the knife back on the table with a nonchalant air. “We’re going to take on Cassius’s crew. Let me know who your top fighters are.”“No way!” I protested vehemently, but Bellamy remained unfazed, even as I argued with him.“Sure, we will. Let me know if you want me to start with the pack your dad gave you. Estelle’s here, right? A
