Then blackness. Shit. I finally come to the realization that I was taken. I test my body for injury, but find only old scars and working limbs. I feel no pain, but I cannot escape the icy bite of the marble. I look around for my bag and I find it thrown in a corner of the tomb I have found myself in. I remove the clothes and dress myself in layers. I warm myself enough to stop shaking and I find myself fatigued from my shivers.

Seraphina & Declan ✦ 18+ — explicit language, graphic violence, torture ✦ The basement smells like concrete and old water and the particular kind of fear that has been marinating for several hours. I know that smell. I've been in rooms like this before — not many, and not as the one asking questions, but enough to understand the architecture of them. The single hanging bulb. The drain in the floor that doesn't try to hide what it's for. The chair bolted to the concrete, which is a practical detail that tells you something about whoever built this room and how seriously they took their work. Declan built this room. Of course he did. The man in the chair is named Caruso. Nico Caruso, forty-thr

Without even a moment's hesitation, he poured the entire bowl of soup into his stomach. Jorge said through gritted teeth, "Klose didn't leave us with any words. Winnie has already gone to atone for her sins with him. You should join them!" Just then, footsteps came from upstairs. Lara looked up at Cynthia, who was standing on the stairway, and gave her a kind smile. Lara waved, saying, "Cynthia, come down quickly. I made you your favorite chicken soup." In the living room, the stereo suddenly started up, and a mournful, low voice said, "We all have sins, different sins... I can decide who is right and who should sleep… forever…"

London didn’t stand a chance against him. Memories from last night flooded my mind—the scorching kisses she gave me and how tight her pussy was. Bones would never give her that kind of sex, the merciful kind. It would only be chains, whips, and broken bones. I actually felt sorry for her. “What’s taking her so long?” Bones asked with a sigh. “I should be getting back. Besides, I’m eager to play with my new toy.” He grinned in a sickening way, one eye smaller than the other. His teeth were crooked, and he smelled like old garlic.

It was a deep chill, something that went straight into your bones. I had never felt anything like it… It was as if the cold was emanating from inside of my bones, freezing me from the inside out. Raziel came running into the bedroom and we locked eyes. I could see confusion in his eyes, as he looked at me as if to ask what I had done. But I hadn’t done anything.

Elara stood frozen in the chamber of bones, her silver eyes locked on the figure before her. The chamber was vast and cold, its walls lined with the skeletal remains of wolves and other creatures she could not identify. The floor was stained with dark, ancient blood that had seeped into the stone over centuries. The air was thick and heavy, carrying the scent of decay and dark magic. Torches flickered on the walls, casting dancing shadows that seemed to move of their own accord.

"For now. My hounds do not like metal. It breaks their teeth." The creature stood up. It was tall, impossibly thin. Its bones clicked like dice in a cup. "But hunger is creative, Warden. If you cannot eat the nut... you eat the soil around it." The Skeleton walked to the ventilation shaft. He sniffed the air drifting down from D.C. "The boy is safe. But his garden..." The Skeleton smiled. His teeth were needles. "The garden is soft." He reached into his rags and pulled out a handful of dust. It wasn't gray dust. It was red.

Maria POV The cold here had a texture. It was not the cold of winter, not the kind a person could bundle against and outlast. It was the cold of stone that had not seen sunlight in fifty years, cold that rose up through the floor into the bones and stayed. The kind of cold I had read about in books once and dismissed as gothic exaggeration. I was finding out it was not exaggeration. I was finding out it was inadequate.

He was pale as a ghost, and his heart had stopped beating. He was already cold as ice. Meanwhile, the sounds of bragging from Wayne's room hit me like a sledgehammer. "Ms. Stewart! Shouldn't we have the doctor check on Frank, just in case?" "Josh’s son is as worthless as his life. He won't die that easily." Jessica's voice was soft, but it cut through me like ice. "Just take care of yourself. If he dies, the Stewart family will have one less problem to deal with.

He memorized my face. "I love you Elena," he said. "I love you Victor." He turned away. He walked toward the entrance of the crypt. He stripped off his shirt again. He tossed it aside. He closed his eyes. The temperature in the cavern dropped. Frost spread across the floor from his feet. The sarcophagi covered in ice. The air turned into a white mist. He was letting go. He was opening the door to the grave and inviting the winter in. The first Bone Wolf appeared at the bottom of the stairs. It snarled and clicked its teeth.
