The intruder scoffed, their gaze going back to me. “You’ve got fire,” they observed, almost admiringly. “It’s a shame it won’t save you.” They raced for me, but Damon caught them, their bodies meeting in a whirl of action. I stared in dread as they battled, the sound of their fight filling the room. And then, just as swiftly as it began, it was done. The intruder faded, slipping into the shadows as if they’d never been there. Damon turned to me, his face pallid and his breathing ragged. “Are you okay?” he questioned, his voice husky with anxiety. I nodded, but my legs felt like jello beneath me. “Who was that?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. He hesitated, his gaze moving to the damaged glass. “They’re part of the organization I’ve been trying to protect you from,” he stated eventually. “What do they want?” I demanded. He stared at me, his eyes filled with a mix of shame and resolve. “You,” he stated simply. Before I could react, a deep, sinister hum filled the air.

Before Julian spoke a word, I could feel his weight. Cold and analytical, his gaze cut through me like a blade, and for the first time since everything had begun, I wasn't sure which side I was on.Elena, "Elena," Julian seemed to be cursing my name. His voice was silky, tinged with poison, but beneath the words there was something else, deeper. "You haven't been running from the truth, you?"I found it difficult to breathe. That was him. The guy I had once loved, the man I believed I could trust. But under the weight of his attention, I failed to identify him here now.What... What are you doing here? My voice quit with a mix of doubt and incredulity. I had to be dreaming; this is not reality.His smile became twisted, harsh and nasty. " Elena, I am here for the same reason I have always been here. To get what is rightfully mine.Though they were little compared to the blazing reality that followed, his comments hit me like a slap."You think I'm the key to some twisted game, don't y

As I attempted to keep awake, tears welled up in my eyes; every second seemed to last an age. I wanted to reach for him and tell him all I was feeling. My legs would not follow through.My voice shaking, I said, "I'm scared." "Damon, I'm not sure if I can do this."Shaking his head, his breath was laboured. "You are able. Elena, you have always been stronger than you could ever imagine. Keep on not giving up. Just kindly.But my body was failing me, and the gloom was pressing in. Though everything looked far, like I was caught in a dream I couldn't wake from, I could hear feet approaching and boots crushing the gravel underneath.The next second, a man emerged from the cloud, sending my heart racing.Julian here.His gaze was cold and calculated as he gently walked toward us, as if he were viewing a play he would find entertaining. His face lacked any true expression. "You didn't believe you could run forever, Elena?” His voice was soft, yet it carried bitterness. You are deeper than

"Do you believe you are the only one keeping secrets, Damon?” I snarled, trying to ignore the hammering aching in my brain as the words came out more sharply than I had planned. I sneered at him, "You have been playing me exactly as much as I have been playing you."Damon's massive shoulders flexed with hardly held wrath as his face constricted and his expression became incomprehensible as he stood across from me. His dark and stormy gaze fastened on mine, but then something else took me off guard. It wasn't simply resentment. It was... wounded.His voice strained, and just a whisper, "Is that what you think of me?" he questioned. His words' rawness made me stop and fasten my pulse. "You believe I have been exploiting you after all? Games?"You're not exactly innocent in all this," I yelled back, my chest taut. Damon, you have secrets of your own. Do not believe I have not observed.He inhaled slowly and deliberately, then started toward me. His gaze softened only a little bit. "You h

"You do not remember us, do you? Like this was all some weird game to him, his voice was bursting with laughter.Stiffened, I tried to slow my rushing pulse. "What do you desire?" I insisted, my voice trembling more than I had meant.The man stared with shining eyes. "We are here for him, naturally," he added, pointing his head toward Damon. "The legendary Damon Blackwell." Have you not been hidden for far too long?Damon's jaw got tighter, and I could see a flash of wrath in his eyes. He did not move, though, or talk. The weight of what was about to happen made the stillness that enveloped the room oppressive. Every second I felt my heart in my throat suffocating me.With a firm voice, I said, "Why now?" "What's so unique tonight?"The man with scars opened his smile, and I shivered along my spine. "Ah, so you know," he remarked, somewhat mockingly. Do you believe this is only about Damon? No, Sweetheart. It involves you.My breath hung in my throat. "Me?," asosHe got closer, his sm

He muttered frantically, dragging me closer and saying, "We don't have much time." "You have to pay attention to me if you wish to survive this—that is, if we wish to survive this. Don't act dumbly.I tried to ignore the mounting anxiety in my chest by swallowing. How did we arrive here? We were in a protected haven, buried from the world just hours ago. And just now it seemed as though the world was closing in on us. The men all around us were too many, with too obvious motives.I asked, trying myself to seem more courageous than I felt: "What do they want with you?"Damon did not respond immediately; his eyes veered to the disfigured guy guiding them inside the chamber. The man was grinning, observing us like a predator assessing its victim.Damon said, "It's not me they want," his eyes narrowing. "It's you."I halted. "What?""I'll explain later," he answered hurriedly, but his voice had a terrible edge. "Just remain near. Move just as directed by me. Not anything else.The scarred

Ethan turned back to me after glancing at Damon, a look of identification lighting across his face. "You are with him right now? I had not anticipated that. Though his voice was laden with ridicule, there was something deeper in his gaze. "You seemed to be smarter than that."Damon's jaw tightened, and he grabbed my hand. I could sense the pressure emanating from him—the need to snap at Ethan was hardly under control. He held it back, though, his eyes icy and exact."What do you desire?" Damon insisted, his voice low and lethal.Ethan shrugged lazily, his hands sliding into the black coat's pockets as though he had endless time. "What then do I want for? That's a pertinent inquiry. You could argue that I'm here to wrap up some unfinished business.My tummy turned over, discomfort slithering up my spine. "Loose ends?" I repeated, not sure whether I wanted to hear the response.Ethan's smile wavered, something darker flickering in his gaze. Let us just state... Our little game is not yet

Turning to watch Jackson barreling into the clearing, his wolf form was magnificent and horrible. He wasted no time flinging himself at the closest renegade with a passion that astounded me.Though brief, relief washed over me. The shadows moved once again, as a fresh person entered the area.He was towering and intimidating, with nasty glistening eyes. "Well, isn't this touching?," he said in a sarcastic voice. The courageous Luna and her warriors.Marcus, I spat, venomous in my voice.He grinned and looked over the devastation. Ava, I cautioned you. One cannot run from the past. And you most definitely cannot run from me.He lifted his hand before I could reply, and a flash of black energy rushed at me. I tuned myself, but it never hit.Riley launched himself in front of me with full assault might."No!." As he sank to the ground, his wolf shape flickering before he turned back into his human nature, I shouted.Jackson hissed, blazingly angry eyes guiding him toward Marcus. Marcus w

I'm locked in. No one knows how to get out. I detect it. Panic claws at the margins of my thoughts, my pulse thuds in my ears. Here's how we got here. How rapidly did things spiral?My fingers shake at my sides, and my brain runs for any answer. But not at all. Only me, powerless here. Levi... God, Levi's blood is staining the concrete and I am unable to stop it."Please, Marcus," I say, my voice breaking with need. "Please, please do not do this. I will do anything, I promise to God. Anything your wish is for. Just try not to damage him. kindly.He tilts his head as if he is thinking about what I said, and he smiles sickeningly. His firm hold on the pistol narrows. "Everything? You believe you still have something worth offering me?Though I'm not sure what I anticipate, Marcus fires before I could respond.The gunshot had an unbearable sound.But it's not me.My heart rushing, blood hammering in my ears, I automatically lower to the ground. Turning, eyes wide, I see something that s
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 153: Bound by Secrets
I cannot lose you once more, Evie. Not like this. Not once again.Levi's voice is a harsh whisper on my skin; his words pierce the shroud of uncertainty and anxiety clouding my head. His hands quiver as they draw me in, his warmth sustaining me in this whirl of anarchy.In my chest, my heart beats wild and chaologically. Though everything seems to be disintegrating, I find it difficult to distance myself from him. His words and his touch really felt so authentic and honest. The pain I went through upon believing I lost him may easily overwhelm me once more. But the danger—that of Marcus—that is all too real. Too perilous.My voice quivering, I say, "I'm not going anywhere." "But we have to—”I swivel around, heart jumping into my throat, the sharp sound of cracking glass cutting me short. Under the low light of the alley, the figure's shadow blocks the passage. Breath freezes in my throat.He's it. Marcus?"You thought you could escape me, didn't you?," said Given the circumstances, h
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 152: Shattered Bonds
Though I can't concentrate on anything except the heat of Levi's fingers clutching mine, the planet is disintegrating all around me. Knowing we have limited time, my heart is racing not only from anxiety but also from the intense feeling that this may be the final time I spend with him."Levi, we have to go—now, my voice quakes with panic."With his clenched jaw, he draws me in and I can see the weight of what we have gone through in his eyes. Though he is staring at something I cannot yet see, his dark and strong eyes convey everything I need to know: danger is near. overly near."I am not leaving you," he adds, his voice a hoarse growl of will. "Not again.."I wonder whether he is speaking to himself or to me. Still, I feel it. The truth was found in his comments. Everything we have endured weighs less now than this. Marcus, the falling stone walls—the improbable chances—we have come so far; now, everything depends on this one instant.Hearing the sound of feet behind us—faint at fi
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 151: "Threads of Fate”
The man slanted his head slightly, as though entertained by my query. "I am the one dragging the threads straight from the darkness. The one waiting for this turning point. And about what I wish for... The person fixed cold, objective eyes on me. "You have to decide something. a decision meant to either rescue or ruin everything.With fast, shallow breaths, Evie's hand tightened in mine. "Levi," she said, her voice breaking with terror. "please. You really have to trust me. Choose not to pay attention to him."The person advanced still another step, their gaze narrowing. " Trust her?" They laughed dimly. "How can you believe someone who hardly knows her? Someone who from the beginning has been lying to you?Turning to Evie, the weight of her words etched in my chest. "Is that true? Evie... I asked, hardly sure I could keep my voice steady. "What then is happening? Not what are you not telling me?"The voice of the stranger came out once again, louder now before she could respond. Levi

Varian's smile grew wider, his eyes shining with a terrible, nasty pleasure. "To release a power outside your comprehension. She belongs to a lineage of entities designed to transform our planet. And her blood? It is the essence of everything.My heart came to a standstill. Blood, please. What was he referring to?"Don't listen to him, Levi," Evie urged, her voice cracking and desperation leaking through the gaps. "He's lying. He is controlling you. He usually has.But Varian turned her aside, staring just at me. His tone caustic, he spat, "You don't get it, do you, Levi?" She is not any ordinary person. She is the one who may bring either the birth of a new world or the end of this one. And you, he added, his eyes narrowing, "you're standing in my way."I knew nothing about what to do. What Varian was saying eluded me in terms of logic. All I knew, all I believed was real, was disintegrating.Once more I looked at Evie, but she was shaking her head and tears were running down her che
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 149: Shattered Trust
"Levi, please, just trust me!" Now she was trembling, her voice a combination of terror and something more—a plea, a warning. " This thing... it's after me."My ears could hear my pulse pound. Her comments have weight like those of a goods train. "Once you?" I asked, voice just a whisper. "Evie, you are hunting this thing?"The beast howled before she could reply, the sound splintering the air. I halted momentarily, not sure what was happening; it was like the roar of a beast and the wail of a dying man.I turned back to Evie, but her gaze had altered. Now, there was something icy about it—a resolution that froze me right down. "Levi, you have to go." At now. Before it becomes too late.I shook my head, shoved her behind me. "Not a probability. I am not bidding you farewell here.She grasped my arm, her hold overly strong. You must have. Should we not, it will wipe us both. Ask kindly.She kept me steady as I attempted to back off. Her eyes softened, only a little, as though she were
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 148: The Final Confrontation
A terrible, all-consuming terror seized my chest as the world darkened. My senses went wild and I could feel everything falling down right away. My sole anchor was the firm hold on my shoulder; my breath came in short spurts. Desperate for anything, anything to grip, I reached out.Levi... Evie's voice sounded far-off, a faint whisper that accentuated the terror chewing at me. "Levi, what's happening?"I had no retort for her. The gloom seemed overly weighty, too oppressive. Something cold pushed, metallic, and sharp pressed on my flesh; I automatically withdrew attempting to get away.Riley, the woman, leaned forward grinning wickedly from her lips. "You really thought you had control, didn't you?" Her voice sent chills up my spine like ice."Let him run!" Stronger now, Evie yelled, her voice tinged with an underlying horror I couldn't ignore.Riley's hold tightened, dragging me even nearer. Though it was pointless, I battled her grasp. Her strength felt surreal, as though she drew f
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 147: "A Promise in the Dark”
The planet appeared to spin at that instant. A huge crack sounded far away, then a deep, rumbling sound shook the earth underneath. The very ground seemed to be complaining, straying under the weight of something far more potent than I could understand.The shadows moved suddenly, then the unmistakable sound of shackles rattling. From the distance, a weak glow flickering revealed a shadowy figure rising from the gloom.Her face was hidden yet her shape was silhouetted against the low light. Her motions frenetic as she twisted and tugged, I could see her trying against the chains but she was nowhere."Evie!," My heart was hammering in my chest, I yelled. "Don't—,"The man's grasp tightened on my arm, pressing till it seemed as though the bones in my wrist were about to break before I could finish. "Don't waste your breath," he remarked frigantly. She had already left.Fury blazing in my chest, I turned to confront him. "You are lying!"But another crack louder this time rang in the dis
