A HEARTBEAT AWAY FROM DEATH

Elara’s POV"Stay with Leo,." You Hear me? Join me!"My voice shaked and was rough. His blood permeated everything—on my hands, on my clothes, soaking between my fingers as I pressed against his cut.Leo coughed and red lips showed. You're yelling.I nearly let out a yell. Of course, I'm yelling. You're bleeding out, moron!His lashes flew.Not exactly Not exactly, not exactly, not exactly.I rocked him. LEo! Glance at me!He made a feeble smile under pressure. "Bossy...";Tears burned through my eyes. "Shut down." Just shut up and grab a grip.Nikolai's voice broke forth from the anarchy. "Elara, we have to get going!"I barely registered with him. The sound of shooting had stopped. Either dead or running away were Dmitri's troops. Still, none of it really counted.Not if Leo—I choked hard, not sure whether I should complete that idea.Nikolai bent next to me and started to curse at the damage. "Shits." Should we fail to get him out of here right now, he will not make it.I gripped m

BETWEEN LOVE AND WAR

Elara’s POVIn his jaw, a muscle jerked. You are not entitled to make that choice.I moved nearer and spoke softly. “Neither do you.”We neither spoke for a long moment.Leo then let off a breath. You're not backing down.“Never.”His lips quivered. That's my sweetheart.My heart stuttered.But Nikolai cleared his throat before I could say anything. "Okay, sweetheart. Is it possible to concentrate? We have to deal with this before Dmitri moves farther.Leo answered, nodding. “Call Ivan. Get him to follow that line of thinking.Nikolai grabbed his phone.

"You will hate what I am about to say."My belly dropped. “Leo—”“We’re going to war.”Within an hour, our squad had assembled.On the table Nikolai laid out a map. "Dmitri's men are posted here, here, and here."Leo studied the map. and Valentina?I stopped at the name of my mother.The face of Nikolai grew black. "She has disappeared beneath the ground."

A HEARTBEAT AWAY

Elara’s POVThe warehouse went anarchy.Leo grumbled as I drew him under cover. "Elara, you have to—”I stop him. "Close up and let me save your life."Rains of bullets fell upon her. His voice crackled on my earphones."Two minutes for backup." Retain your ground.I let out a quick exhale. Two minutes seemed to last eternity.Leo sneezed, his hold on my wrist getting tighter. You ought to go.I shot him a nasty look. Let you bleed out as well. Not happening.The men of Dmitri closed in.Leo battled to get to his feet. "Elara—'"I shot, eliminating three of them. "Stop Talking."Leo laughed barely. You are terrible.I graced myself. "Know."Then Dmitri's voice blounced."Enough of games, Elara." Surrender, and I might let him to live.I snipped. "I negotiate with traitors not here."Dmitri sighed. "then you are simply like your mother."The words come over as a slap.I stopped freezing.Leo's hand wound into a fist. Ignite not pay attention to him.Dmitri raised a smile. " Ah, but she

THE QUEEN’S MOVE

Elara’s POV"She wanted us here," I said, my pulse pounding. "To caution us. To ensure we understood who was in charge.Leo held his hands tightly. Not too long.I let out a quick sigh, attempting to stifle the fire of wrath within of me. "She aims to break me."Leo reached for my face and pushed me to stare at him. Then let her not allow you.His eyes were black and sharp. He was not only using the words. He meant them.I nodded and gulped. "She believes she will be victorious."His lips grazed mine. Let us then demonstrate her she hasn't.The craft of warAlready waiting back at the penthouse was Nikolai.He replied, "I tracked her location," extending a tablet toward me. She is not concealing at all either.Leo pouted. "She wants us to follow her".I graced myself. Let us not disappoint her then.Nikolai stood back. "Elara, you do realize what this means?"I turned to meet his eye. "I exactly know what it means."Leo slanted back with crossed arms. "This is not only about bringing

THE BREAKING POINT

Elara’s POV"You're dealing with someone Valentina, not sure who they are."Like a warning, the words poured out of my lips. Second opportunities came too late, as did diplomacy. Valentina had taken everything from me; now, whatever of the cost, I would take it back.Leo's weight behind me was like a storm I knew would strike, consistent, relentless. His palm swept the small of my back, centering me in a manner I could not articulate. But the strain between Valentina and me thickened with every second that passed.You believe you have won? Valentina had hostile glints in her eyes. "You believe you could simply stroll in here and seize control of everything? Elara, you are a tiny child engaged in dress-up. You belong nowhere in this world.I kept my voice quiet and suppressed the want to yell back-off. "I am done following your guidelines. This stops tonight, you and my mother Dmitri, everyone who has been tugging the threads.Leo came up to me, his voice low but forceful. " Valentina,

THE PRICE OF TRUTH

Elara’s POVSet the rifle down, Dmitri.Before I really understood them, the words came from my mouth. Time appeared to stop momentarily as the revolver he carried pointed straight at Leo. The air was dense and packed with anxiety, as though each breath we took was our last one before everything broke."Don't move," Dmitri said, with a voice as icy. "Stay where each of you is now."Leo was rigid and every muscle in his body coiled like a spring right next to me. But first I sensed his hand—warm, solid, the one anchor amid this whirl of anarchy. I inhaled, recovering the fragments of my calm; Valentina's words still echoed in my ears."Dmitri, this is crazy," I remarked, my voice harder than I meant. "What the devil do you think you are doing?"He hardly blinked, nor flinches either. His eyes narrowing, he said, "What I should have done a long time ago." "You believe I was ignorant of your little scheme? You believe you could just go into my domain and grab what is mine?Leo moved in f

DESPERATE MOVES

Elara’s POV"Elara, you are not leaving here alive.”Dmitri's words sliced over the tight quiet like a dagger, and my breath choked in my throat. The door closed behind us, the shackles ruckling in the terrible silence that followed. Leo's hold tightened on my hand, his presence a firm, consoling force against the horror building in my chest."What, Dmitri, do you think you are doing?" I insisted, my voice trembling but firm. You believe this is your game to regulate? You believe you could simply murder me then leave?Dmitri turned to produce a horrible smile. "not kill you, Elara." Just help you to be neutral. There was never meant for you the Vetrova empire. Before it was ever yours, it was mine.His voice carried the hatred, the bitterness seething under the surface all these years. The insight struck harder than I had anticipated. Dmitri wanted me out of the way totally, not only seeking power. My blood came cold. The man I had relied on—one who had previously been my friend—now w

GHOST FROM MY PAST

Elara’s pov You thought you could flee Elara?"The voice froze me to the very place like ice on my flesh. My heart in my throat, my breath seized in my chest, I turned slowly. This could not be genuine. Not immediately. Not in this place.But he was right there. The man I had loved once, the man I had assumed to be dead.Seebastian. My voice broke. Not even could I identify it as mine. I could hardly keep my breath. "How... how can this be done? You are— ""I'm alive," he said, his dark, nearly predatory eyes flickering. And you have been under observation. Still waiting for the ideal opportunity.My head whirled, trying to make sense of the anarchy that was fast developing all around me. My whole planet has lately been upside down. The fundamental basis of what I knew was beginning to collapse as a ghost from my past entered my present.Leo's body stopped just next to mine. Tension coming from him was evident. Sebastian was someone he recognized, and I could sense his protective fee

A LIE TO PROTECT YOU

Elara’s POVYou should have avoided me.The words fly through the air like a sword, cutting off all possibility for hope or uncertainty. The stranger fixed ice, pointed eyes on me, yet there was something deeper in those eyes that I could not identify."Who are you?," I insisted, back off but not staring away from the stranger. My pulse was beating, the tumult of the moment distorting my thinking. "What do you desire?"The stranger did not respond straight away. They simply stood there, coldly gazing at me that made me shudder down my spine. But there was something else—a flutter of identification in their demeanor that stopped my heart. This is someone... I know these people. Simply said, I couldn't find from whence."You truly do not remember me, Elara?” The voice sounded low, quiet, as though they were testing the waters and waiting for my answer.Fighting to retain my cool, I shook my head. My brain was whirling. Though I knew nothing about this individual, there was something abo

THE FAMILY I NEVER KNEW

Elara’s pov What do you mean, brother??"Thick with uncertainty and doubt, the words hover like a storm cloud. My chest constricts as my brain tries to process what I have just heard; I cannot seem to breathe.Leo is standing next to me, his hands closed at his sides and his mouth tightened. Though he is attempting to remain composed, I can sense strain in his eyes. His protectiveness is evident, but it's anxiety rather than just rage. And everything points right to me.The stranger—my so-called brother—steps slowly and deliberately toward me. His gentle, almost sad eyes suggest that he is waiting for me to digest this insight."I realize this is a lot to take in," he adds softly, "but it's the truth. Elara, your brother here is me. Over all this time, I have been looking over you.I shake my head, attempting to clear the mist of incredulity obscuring my judgment. No, this does not make logical. In what ways may you be my brother? I have not even heard of you.He seems hurt for a min
