"If you love Damien, run." Her mother's words ringing inside her head as if it was a broken record. The words echoed through the mountain sanctuary.Cinthye's hazel eyes concentrating on her mother. She warned her every single time she has a chance. Cinthye doesn't know if sh should believe her this time. Her mother could be right but if she takes this chance to disregard what Damien has done and had been through because of then it would be mean that she's betraying him. Honestly she doesn't have a clue of whether which of the, to believe. Because standing beyond the gates was the Shadow Matriarch.Her hazel eyes refleted fear and uncertainty in its depths., truly terrified which was impossible.The woman who faced wars without blinking. The woman who stared down syndicates. The woman who buried secrets for decades. There's no way that would actually happen. Damien was the first to move he reached for his weapon immediately."No." Master Aurelio's voice cracked through the tension. "N

Cinthye climbed the final staircase and emerged onto the main courtyard. Her chest heaving yet she kept going she had to do this. This is the only way, her desperation was stronger than her fears. The sanctuary was engulfed by the flames. Part of the western wall had collapsed. Smoke rised tainting the sky. Bodies littered the ground. Warriors she had trained with, people she had laughed with and the people who had welcomed her home. Vanished in a blink of an eye. A knot formed in her throat, her hazel eyes watering up. Her hands shaking, No. Not her home. Not again. She was tired of losing homes, tired of losing people. Tired of burying the dead. Adrenaline and determination crept in her veins. Damien appeared beside her, his expression hardened immediately."Don't." His baritone voice firm as if to anchor her to the present...to him. She blinked."What?" Cinthye gave him a puzzled look. "Don't blame yourself." His hand reaching and taking her hand into his warm grasp. The words h

The first gunshot shattered the darkness, followed by a series of explosions. Screams erupted throughout the ballroom, guests scattered on each pillars where tables overturned and glass shards prickle the floor.The party instantly transformed into a battlefield."DOWN!" Damien's hand reached for Cinthye, dragging her behind a marble pillar. Bullets tore through the room. A chandelier crashed from the ceiling.Aiva immediately returned fire."Left entrance!"Nicholas fired. "Three hostiles!"Romnick ducked behind a couch. "I WOULD LIKE TO RESIGN!""No!""UNDERSTANDABLE!"Cinthye could not help herself but roll her eyes, her hand holding her own gun beneath the excess fabric of her clothes. The attackers moved with military precision.Black uniforms with masks and familiar looking insignias. The same insignia they had seen before a broken crown. The Black Crown. Cinthye's pulse accelerated. "They found us."Damien's expression turned lethal. "No."The answer came instantly. "They followe

For the first time all day Cinthye laughed. A real laugh. Damien stared at her and did the same thing. His laugh was rare and beautiful. The tension broke. Just a little. Nicholas burst through the archive doors out of breath and covered in dust which was becoming concerningly normal. "What now?" The tracker looked pale. Nicholas held up a folder, a newly discovered file.One hidden beneath the adoption records. One nobody had ever seen before. His voice shook. "We found the final report." "What report?" Cinthye asks. Nicholas slowly opened the file and turned it toward them. At the top sat a photograph a photograph of Alejandro Cator standing beside another man. A man everyone recognized instantly, Sergei Volkov.

Not rivals but a family. Damien slowly took the file.His eyes scanned th
