SADIE’S POVI could see that Damon didn’t recognize the number. And somehow, that alone told me everything would go wrong.Damon answered before I could say anything. For a moment, nothing came through—just a cold, empty silence that made my skin crawl.Then a distorted voice slid through the speaker.“Mr. Prince,” it drawled, metallic and warped. “So good of you to pick up.”Damon’s grip on the phone tightened. My stomach knotted.“Where is the boy?” he asked.A soft, twisted laugh crackled through the line—unnatural, mechanical. “Safe. Safer than you, at the moment.”I flinched before I could stop myself.The voice went on, smooth despite the distortion, every word deliberate and suffocating. “If you want him back, you will come to the woman’s house.”My breath hitched. A pause followed—heavy, intentional.“Both of you. Together. No guards. No entourage.”Damon’s jaw clenched. I felt the tension radiating off him.“Why the two of us?” he demanded.Another laugh spilled out—colder, a

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.

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. Tell you what—sign your part of the papers, and maybe I’ll let you go. Or at least

DAMON’S POVThe fluorescent lights hit me like knives the moment we step into the emergency wing—too bright, too clean, too calm for the hell we’ve just crawled out of.Nurses swarm us instantly, eyes widening at the blood soaking through my shirt—my blood—but I push past them long enough to get Sadie and Daven into seats.“Take care of them first,” I bark.“Sir, you need immediate—”“I said take care of them first.”The sound of my voice must register as a warning because they obey immediately, no questions.Sadie grabs my wrist.Her fingers tremble, but her grip is iron. “Damon, stop. Let them help you.”I look at her—her tear-s

SADIE’S POVI still can’t believe how much time has passed. Two whole years since everything with Theo, Silas, Damon’s father, and Bella. Two years since the chaos, the fear, the heartbreak, and the choices that changed everything.And somehow… we ended up exactly where we were always meant to be.After it all ended, and Damon and I got re-married, Damon and I came back to the city where everything began. We didn’t return to the same houses or the same memories—we chose a new place, a new home, a fresh start. Our mansion sits on a quiet hill overlooking the city lights, but inside… inside it feels like peace. The kind of happily ever after I didn’t even know existed.I never imagined my life would feel this soft.Damon visits Theo and Silas occasionally. Even now, it stil
