I scarcely able to breathe as I stand still looking down the depths of his eyes. His voice breaks out from the quiet, low and threatening."You think you could run from me, Mia?"The words knock me like a physical blow. In my chest my heart stumbles. I swallow hard, then turn back to him from staring at the door. Though he is behind me and his presence is like a solid wall, even Varian cannot protect me from the approaching storm."I told you, Mia," Dante says, advancing forward and black eyes reflecting a mix of passion and something far more menacing. "You cannot run away from this. You cannot run faster than me.My breath quakes. I back off, but every movement I make seems to narrow the distance between us. Heart hammering, my mind runs as the tension in the room increases like smoke.Varian's hand closes tightly on my arm, a protective and possessive hold. He says, "Don't let him get to you," his words loaded with both caution and a suggestion of something more—something I do not

Elena’s POVDante wasn’t alone. A gigantic shadow emerged behind him, its bright eyes fastening upon me. “Mia,” Dante muttered, his smile twisted and vicious. “I told you—there’s no escape.” Varian sprang at him, but the shadow moved quicker, its claws ripping through the air. I shouted, pinned in place as mayhem exploded around me. And then, just as swiftly as it began, everything went still. “Mia!” Varian’s voice sounded frantic, but I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. The darkness was gone, but Dante’s laughter rang through the warehouse. “You’re too late, Varian,” he whispered, his voice fading as he faded into the darkness. “The game has already begun.” Varian went to his knees beside me, his hands cupping my face as he searched my gaze. “Are you hurt?” he asked, his voice raw with terror. I shook my head, but my attention strayed to the location where the shadow had been. “What… what was that?” His quiet response was enough. And suddenly, in the distance, a deep, threate

Before Julian spoke a word, I could feel his weight. Cold and analytical, his gaze cut through me like a blade, and for the first time since everything had begun, I wasn't sure which side I was on.Elena, "Elena," Julian seemed to be cursing my name. His voice was silky, tinged with poison, but beneath the words there was something else, deeper. "You haven't been running from the truth, you?"I found it difficult to breathe. That was him. The guy I had once loved, the man I believed I could trust. But under the weight of his attention, I failed to identify him here now.What... What are you doing here? My voice quit with a mix of doubt and incredulity. I had to be dreaming; this is not reality.His smile became twisted, harsh and nasty. " Elena, I am here for the same reason I have always been here. To get what is rightfully mine.Though they were little compared to the blazing reality that followed, his comments hit me like a slap."You think I'm the key to some twisted game, don't y

"Do you believe you are the only one keeping secrets, Damon?” I snarled, trying to ignore the hammering aching in my brain as the words came out more sharply than I had planned. I sneered at him, "You have been playing me exactly as much as I have been playing you."Damon's massive shoulders flexed with hardly held wrath as his face constricted and his expression became incomprehensible as he stood across from me. His dark and stormy gaze fastened on mine, but then something else took me off guard. It wasn't simply resentment. It was... wounded.His voice strained, and just a whisper, "Is that what you think of me?" he questioned. His words' rawness made me stop and fasten my pulse. "You believe I have been exploiting you after all? Games?"You're not exactly innocent in all this," I yelled back, my chest taut. Damon, you have secrets of your own. Do not believe I have not observed.He inhaled slowly and deliberately, then started toward me. His gaze softened only a little bit. "You h

"You do not remember us, do you? Like this was all some weird game to him, his voice was bursting with laughter.Stiffened, I tried to slow my rushing pulse. "What do you desire?" I insisted, my voice trembling more than I had meant.The man stared with shining eyes. "We are here for him, naturally," he added, pointing his head toward Damon. "The legendary Damon Blackwell." Have you not been hidden for far too long?Damon's jaw got tighter, and I could see a flash of wrath in his eyes. He did not move, though, or talk. The weight of what was about to happen made the stillness that enveloped the room oppressive. Every second I felt my heart in my throat suffocating me.With a firm voice, I said, "Why now?" "What's so unique tonight?"The man with scars opened his smile, and I shivered along my spine. "Ah, so you know," he remarked, somewhat mockingly. Do you believe this is only about Damon? No, Sweetheart. It involves you.My breath hung in my throat. "Me?," asosHe got closer, his sm
