Before Kaelen could say anything, the man Valkira had struck shouted, blood running from the corner of his mouth as he pointed at her his hand shaking. “You cannot do this!” he screamed. “I represent the mighty Obsidian Pack!”His finger shook as he pointed at Valkira. “You’ll regret laying a hand on me! " he yelled. “You’ll pay for this. My family will make sure of it!”Valkira was about to answer when Chris stepped forward. His heavy boots thudded against the floor as he walked over to the man, bent down, and grabbed him by his torn shirt."“Wait—” the man started, but Chris grabbed him by the shirt and hauled him off the floor before he could finish. His feet kicked as he struggled in Chris’s grip, but he couldn't break free.Chris carried him toward the conference room doors and walked straight out, the man still hanging from his grip.Chris threw him through the doorway, and the man hit the marble floor hard. He cried out as he landed, sprawled across the hallway as the doors sh

Valkira opened her mouth, but she hesitated. How could she explain five years of her life without telling him everything? Darius pulled her close again, pressing her cheek against his chest. She listened to his heartbeat for a moment before finally speaking. “A lot happened while I was gone,” she finally said. “I couldn't reach out to anyone, but I never stopped thinking about home.” His hand moved through her hair, his fingers trembling as he held her. “I searched for you for years Valkira, I thought you were dead.” “I almost was,” Valkira said. “Many times than I can count.” Darius’s arms tightened around her, and for a moment he couldn't say anything. His jaw clenched as he swallowed hard, trying to hold back the tears that were already filling his eyes. “I need to know what happened,” he said, his voice rough. “I need to know everything.” “It’s a long story,” Valkira said. “We'll talk about it but just give me some time.” Darius pulled back and looked around the boardroom.

He screamed and yanked at his arm, but he couldn't get free. Before he could do anything else, Darius kicked him hard between the legs.The man dropped instantly, folding over himself as his hands went to his groin. He tried to scream again through the pain, but nothing came out as he struggled for air. Valkira turned toward the movement and stared at Darius. He stood beside her, calmly fixing his cuffs as though nothing unusual had happened. She couldn't help looking at him for a moment. She had never seen him move like that before.Darius noticed her staring, slipped an arm around her waist, and pulled her closer.“You okay?” he asked softly.Valkira slowly shook her head, still a little surprised that Darius had stepped in for her. She was used to dealing with things herself, or having Chris at her side, so seeing Darius take action caught her off guard."Since when did you learn to fight like that?" she asked, her voice low.Darius shrugged. "I run a global corporation. You think

The guards rushed at them, and the one in front swung his baton at Valkira’s head. She ducked out of the way, grabbed his vest, and drove her elbow into his throat. He stumbled and dropped to his knees, coughing as the baton fell from his hand. Beside her, Darius caught a guard rushing at him with a knife. He grabbed the man’s wrist and twisted until his arm cracked. The guard cried out, but Darius took the knife from him and drove the handle into another guard’s jaw. Blood filled the man’s mouth as a few teeth hit the floor, and he went crashing into a leather booth. Wilson watched his men go down, his face twisting with rage. He turned to the others and pointed at Valkira and Darius. “Surround them! Use your knives! Kill the man first, then bring her to me. I want her alive!” The remaining guards rushed in with their knives, closing in on Valkira and Darius. Valkira looked straight at Wilson, her eyes turning gold. The look in her eyes told him exactly what he had just done. He

The mansion’s foyer was still lit when Victoria and Joseph reached the top of the staircase. They stopped when they heard a car pull into the courtyard. A few seconds later, footsteps sounded below. Victoria grabbed Joseph’s arm and looked at him. “He’s here,” she whispered. “Taros is here.” They hurried down the stairs as the front door opened. A tall man walked into the foyer in a dusty tactical uniform, with several soldiers coming in behind him. They looked like they had been on the road for hours, but they stayed alert as they followed him inside. Taros stopped and looked up at Victoria and Joseph before giving them a brief nod. Joseph’s voice cracked when he saw him. “Taros. Thank the Moon, you’re here. I was starting to think you wouldn’t make it.” “Of course,” Taros replied. “You called me, so I came.” Joseph hurried over and grabbed his hand. “We have a serious problem. She’s back. Valkira is alive.” Taros pulled his hand free and looked at him. “I heard about her on
