Knox's warm hand guided Serena into the awaiting limo. The plush leather seats enveloped her as she slid inside.A faint red glow bathed the opulent interior in an otherworldly ambiance.Serena's eyes struggled to adjust to the almost darkness.That's when she heard it. The unmistakable sounds of passion. Grunts and moans pierced the quietness.Serena's cheeks blazed. She instinctively turned toward the noise, squinting to make out anything in the shadows."Oh god," she whispered when she caught glimpses of writhing forms at the opposite end of the large limo.Was that Meredith?Serena quickly averted her gaze, embarrassment flooding through her.She hadn't expected... this.Her eyes darted around, desperate for somewhere safe to land.She was startled when she suddenly found Knox’s face mere inches from hers.Her breath caught in her throat. When had he gotten so close?His amber eyes gleamed in the low light, fixed intently on her lips."Knox," she breathed, barely audible.The air

Knox just stared back at her silently. His expression remained cold but Serena could see the fury blazing in the depths of his eyes in an all-consuming wrath that burned hotter than the sun's core. "Answer me!" She cried, her voice rising in pitch as hysteria threatened to overwhelm her. Her throat burned, yet she didn't care. "Is my sister alive? Have you been lying to me this entire time?"Silence was all that met her.Serena's heart shattered into a million shards that instant. All the love and affection, the burning desire and passion she'd felt for Knox just...evaporated, dissipating like a wisp of smoke in the wind. Her own father's life was in danger for being held hostage by Knox's vile family, and the possibility that her supposedly dead twin sister was alive and kept prisoner by her own husband… the revelation of Mia being kept in the estate and cheating on her.... it was simply too much for her to process all at once. An overload of emotion threatened to drown her where

Meredith's lips curled into a sneer. "Because in the grand scheme of things, my dear, he does mean nothing. He's a liability, a weak link that needs to be severed for the greater good. You have your sister and those vile souls to blame.""They only want Sirona in exchange for my father's life. Why the hell is that so hard for you monsters to do? Just hand her over and let him go!" Serena screamed. She didn't give a damn about anything else Meredith said. Her twin sister and father needed to be saved, that was all on her mind. A violent coughing fit racked her body, her throat raw and aching from the screaming and sobbing. Meredith's face contorted in disdain."Because giving up Sirona for your father is impossible, stupid, naïve girl!" The old woman's voice rose. "That girl is more dangerous than you can possibly comprehend! More of a threat than a thousand nuclear bombs if she's not kept contained and carefully controlled! You are only alive and breathing now because she’s locked

Knox felt as if the entire world had collapsed around him, with a devastating blast of despair and despair threatening to break what little remained of his damaged psyche into a million shattered fragments. The sheer, all-consuming agony that had lanced through him was unlike anything he'd ever experienced before. It that it defied description… as though every nerve ending in his immortal body had been set ablaze and doused in acid simultaneously.The air became heavy and oppressive as the full impact of what had happened started to sink in, and the cold stone of the dungeon walls seemed to close in around him.Knox simply couldn't - no, he utterly refused with every fiber of his being to accept the cruel reality that his worst fears had been realized in the most brutal and decisive way imaginable. Serena. His beautiful, precious mate...the very radiant light in his darkness...she was gone. Why? The question kept coming back to him, echoing through the vast emptiness of his head, e

Meredith's heart thundered against her ribcage as she paced the length of Knox and Serena's bedroom suite. Her footfalls echoed with a hollow resonance that belied the emptiness gnawing at her very soul.The incessant rattling and banging against the thick oak door grew more insistent with each passing moment in a cacophony of destruction that served as a reminder of the hellish forces laying siege to their home. Beyond that rapidly crumbling barrier, chaos ruled in an unholy storm of violence that threatened to devour all Meredith held dear.Shrieks of unimaginable agony intermingled with roars. Each haunting wail, each guttural bellow, sent a fresh wave of anguish coursing through Meredith's immortal frame. How many had already fallen? The question burned in her mind like acid, eating away at what little composure she managed to maintain. How many brave warriors, loyal protectors of the estate had lost their lives under the claws of these abominations? The faces of those she had
