All Chapters of Dangerous Desire: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

The forest grew darker as the three of them pushed deeper into the night—Sable moving ahead with calm precision,Alexander limping but refusing to slow down,and Elias walking a step behind, silent and trembling with rage.Snow crunched beneath their boots.The wind whistled sharp through the trees.But no one spoke.Not after what happened.Not after losing her.It felt wrong to speak into the emptiness she left behind.Finally, Alexander broke the silence.“How far?”Sable didn’t turn.“Four hours on foot. Two, if Elias stops sulking and uses his abilities.”Elias’s fists clenched.“I am not leaving footprints of golden energy across the forest for the Circle to track.”“Oh, please,” Sable scoffed.“They already know where you are.”Elias’s glow flickered.Alexander stepped in quickly.“Enough. Sable—what exactly is the Citadel?”Sable slowed, glancing back.“The most secure purge research facility in the world. A fortress built into the cliffs. Labs. Cells. Weapons development. Ge

The Forest — Elias vs. The SentinelThe Sentinel struck first—A jagged spear of corrupted purge energy shot from its arm, hissing through the air.Elias twisted aside at the last second, the blast ripping a crater into the snow beside him.He didn’t flinch.He didn’t hesitate.He was done being hunted.With a snarl that shook the trees, Elias lunged forward, slamming his fist into the Sentinel’s chest. The impact echoed like thunder. Metal bent inward. Sparks burst.But the Sentinel didn’t fall.It grabbed Elias by the throat and lifted him off the ground.Red optics glowed brighter as it tightened its grip.Elias’s eyes flashed amber—then gold, glowing like molten fire.“Don’t,” he growled.He grabbed the Sentinel’s metal wrist and crushed it—metal screaming as it snapped like wet bones.The creature shrieked in a mechanical, animalistic cry.Elias slammed it into the ground.Once.Twice.The forest floor cracked beneath the force.But the Sentinel latched onto Elias’s leg, surgin

Inside the Citadel — Sub-Level SevenLena’s scream echoed through the sterile room—but it wasn’t loud enough to shatter the glass wallsor reach the men racing toward her.She gasped, chest heaving as the extraction pulse finally stopped.Her skin still burned from the inside out, golden veins flickering weakly beneath the surface.The restraints loosened, lowering her back onto the cold metal table.Dr. Mirielle Kass watched her with clinical fascination.“Your tolerance is exceptional,” Kass murmured, jotting down notes.“No stabilizer has ever survived three pulses without cardiac arrest.”Lena coughed, voice hoarse.“Stop… stop hurting me—”Kass didn’t pause.“You’re not dying. These are controlled awakenings. Necessary for stabilizer gene mapping.”“I don’t WANT to awaken! I want to go home!”“Your home,” Kass said, tapping the glass, “is irrelevant.Your genome will change the world.”Lena shook with fury and fear.“No… YOU will destroy it.”Kass smiled.“Not if I control it fi

Inside the Citadel — Sub-Level SevenThe prototype’s breathing grew louder—raggedinhumanwet with static-laced corruption.Golden sparks crawled under its skin like fire beneath cracked glass.“Stop it!” Lena screamed, straining against the restraints.“Don’t feed him my energy—STOP!”Dr. Kass didn’t even look at her.She typed calmly at the console, her voice smooth and pleased:“It’s stabilizing. Better than expected. Do you feel it, Prototype 03?”The creature’s eyelids snapped open, glowing bright, unstable gold.It rasped—“…more…”Kass smiled.“Eventually.”Lena’s heart hammered against her ribs.This thing was not a patient.Not a soldier.It was a mistake.A weapon forged in darkness.And they were giving it her.Her chest ached again—sharp pain radiating outward.Not physical.Purge sensitivity.A stabilizer reaction.The prototype was pulling on her, somehow.As if the extraction pulses had created a link.She gasped, chest heaving.Something inside her stirred—a faint go

Citadel Exterior — Elias & AlexanderThey reached the Citadel’s outer perimeter.The fortress loomed above them—black steel walls rising like a monolith, floodlights sweeping the snow.Elias’s eyes glowed brighter with every second.Lena’s voice still echoed inside him.Her fear.Her scream.Alexander felt it too—not through a bond,but through instinct.He could feel her terror in his bones.Sable crouched beside a power box built into the ground.“Give me thirty seconds,” she muttered, prying the panel open.“I can disable the perimeter shield long enough for you two to break through.”Alexander nodded, breathing hard.Elias paced like a caged beast, gold light flickering under his skin.Alexander glanced at him.“You good?”Elias didn’t look at him.“No.”Alexander swallowed.“Me neither.”A pause.The wind howled between them.Then Elias said quietly—“She’s screaming in my head.”Alexander clenched his fists.“She won’t scream much longer. We’ll get her out. Together.”Elias fi
