Semua Bab Accidentally Fell For My Ex's Uncle. The Dark Alpha: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Remi Pov ContinuedFinally I pushed and It opened.A dark passage. Narrow. Smelled like dust and decades of secrets.I looked back once.Nero was in the doorway. Covered in blood. His. Mine. Both.Staring at me with those gold eyes."I'm sorry," I said again.Then went through and slammed the door behind me.I Grabbed clothes from the dressing room and Shoved them against the door. Covered the seam.Like the door didn't exist.Maybe he wouldn't find it. Maybe—A roar shook the walls.He knew I was gone.Move, Parrot said. MOVE.I moved.The passage was pitch black. My hands on both walls. Following them deeper.Behind me— sounds. Nero destroying the dressing room. Looking for me.The passage split. Three directions.Which way?Left, Parrot said. Always go left in mazes. It's science. Probably.I went left.The passage changed. Became smaller. A crawl space.I was above rooms now. In the ceiling. Between floors.Gaps in the floor below. I could see through them. Hear voices.Keep goin

Nero POV ContinuedKade stepped closer and Met my eyes."I have made progress. We will give you results soon. But don't you dare accuse me of choosing him over you.""Why not? Everyone else has an agenda. Why should you be different?""Because I'm your BROTHER." He stepped closer. "I've been by your side for years. Through every curse. Every bride. Every fucking betrayal from everyone else. And you're going to question ME?""The man you love has the same marks as those creatures. You don't think that's suspicious?""I think it's devastating." Kade's voice cracked. Just slightly. Just enough. "I think the man I love might be a traitor. And I think I might have to kill him for it. So don't fucking question my loyalty when I'm LIVING this nightmare."The silence that followed was heavy.Abel shifted uncomfortably. Looked away.I could see it now. The tension in Kade's shoulders. The pain in his eyes. The way his hands were clenched.He was suffering. And I'd just made it worse.Abel shi

NERO POV"How much further to the river?" I asked.The venom was making everything worse. Every jolt sent pain through my shoulder. Down my arm. The black veins were spreading. I could see them creeping up my neck now. Felt them under my skin. Wrong. All wrong."Maybe thirty minutes. Why? Eager to face your greatest fear?" Abel responded"I don't have fears.""You're terrified of water.""I'm not terrified. I just. Prefer not to be near it.""Shut up, Abel."He was still grinning. Annoying bastard.We rode in silence for a few minutes. Then I heard it. The sound of running water.My chest tightened."That's the river," Abel said. Helpfully."I know what a river sounds like.""Your jaw just twitched.""No it didn't.""It did. Right there. Twitched again."I forced my jaw to relax. Didn't work.We came around a bend. The river spread out before us. Wide. Fast moving. The kind of water that could sweep you away if you weren't careful."It's not that bad," Abel said.It was that bad."We

REMI POV"Did you dress me up so I can look good when I die?"Kade stopped walking. Turned to look at me."What?""This dress. The hair. The whole thing." I gestured at myself. "Did you make me look nice so at least I'll be a pretty corpse?"He stared at me for a second. Then laughed. Actually laughed."Relax. The creatures don't want you dead. From what we know they specifically want you alive.""Oh good. So I'll just be kidnapped and tortured instead of killed. Much better.""I wouldn't put you in this position if your life was truly at risk.""My life is ALWAYS at risk. I'm mated to Nero.""Fair point." He started walking again. "But I mean it. If I thought you'd actually die I wouldn't do this.""So what's the plan then?""Damon's waiting for us at the stables. He doesn't know why yet. And he doesn't know you're with me.""So you need a fake name.Yes. Let's call you Paris.""Paris? Like the city?""Like the prince. From the legends. Paris of Troy.""The one who stole another man's

REMI POVI felt him before I even reached the kitchen.Through the bond. Distant. Faint.But there.Anger. Frustration. Need.The bond pulsed. Pulled.My body responded immediately. Heat low in my belly. Nipples tightening against my dress.He's not even HERE, Parrot said. And we're already like this?"I can't help it. The bond. It's demanding."The bond pulsed again. Stronger this time. A rush of possessive heat that made my knees weak.Mine, it seemed to say. You're MINE."Yes," I whispered. "Yours. Now get back here so I can show you exactly how much.""Talking to yourself?"I jumped. Turned.Kade stood there. Smirking."Is the bond getting worse or—"A guard appeared in the doorway. "Beta Kade. There's been an incident at the garden. We need you immediately.""Nero's going to kill me if something happens to you while he's gone.""Nothing's going to happen. I'm making tea. In a kitchen. What could possibly go wrong?"He left. Still looking worried.The guard followed.And I was alo
