"What matters is this—what exactly did you and Damon discuss earlier?" He gestured to the seat across from him. "Relax, Tom. Sit." The casual tone did little to calm Tom, who swallowed nervously before seating himself opposite Drake. "It was nothing much," he stammered. "I... I was discussing a potential partnership with Prospectus Technology. Once I gain their trust, I'll find a way to bring them down." "Really?" Drake's sharp eyes locked onto Tom's, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Yes," Tom nodded quickly. "By the way, Mr. Mummery, what brings you back to the country? Something important?"

Yet, the postmark revealed that it had been sent from Wildhaven. “Darien, something wrong?” Jacob queried. Get me a map of Colorado, Tom. “You bet, man.” Tom glanced at Jake with confusion, not understanding what was happening.

"What… what do you plan to do?" The old Duke trembled and tried to break the chains in his hands. However, it was useless. Now that the Duke was there, the pressure in those shackles was stronger than before. "I will send to their death every single one of them, do you hear me?" The old man widened his eyes.

There was a gig gone wrong shortly before I arrived, and it sounded like she was already tiring of Tom. He was on a short leash by then, old enough to shift but tethered by silver. He’d been getting too confident, taking too many risks, and when he and Duke inadvertently caused the death of four of her best men when they wer

I can’t say I didn’t enjoy all that though, I had to stifle a grin more than once. After dinner, I went outside to explore the territory and I ended up by a beautiful small lake a few miles from the palace. Something about this lake is just so serene it drew me in and keeps me rooted to the spot where I am currently sitting. It’s like all my thoughts and worries seep away when I am sitting here. It’s not an overly large lake, but not too small either. One could go for a decent swim in here. I would definitely try that as it looks really tempting, but I don’t know

The horse made a little jump and Kate yelped as she threw her arms around the horse's neck and hugged it tightly. “If I fall and break my neck, it will be on you.” The devil laughed, showing off his perfectly white teeth and his charming smile that could steal the heart of a

"And you should have seen Your man, kicking in doors, taking down bad guys ... a bonafide superhero" I turn to look at Luca, as I let Tom go. "Oh really, that sounds ... kinda hot". "I was kicking asses and taking names baby". He says grinning, as he gives me a cheeky wink. "Just ... don't ask him to ... jump walls you know". Tom chuckles, making Luca glare at him. I look from one to the other. "Jumping walls ?" "Apparently Tom is like half spiderman ... Let's take two steps back and jump a seven foot wall in one go". Luca say shaking his head.

Kaelus didn't even blink at the bloody display unfolding right in front of him. "Raipherze! I—I heard the Duke talking to the head butler!" the young man who leaked the information blurted out, shivering in pure terror as he stared at his comrade's mangled face. "You just said Lancaster." "It—it was just a stopover, Your Grace! The Duke owns a massive estate in Raipherze. Back when he proposed to the lady—" "Enough," Kaelus cut him off sharply.

Tom said before Nick smirked. "That's Dragomir for you, Rambova. You better remember that we can get our talons to sink deep inside your bones if necessary," Nick said as his eyes were turning black as his inner Demon was rising, wanting to protect what is considered as its protection.
