CHAPTER 197
The house suddenly went dark, but the blackout didn’t last for more than three seconds. “D-Devin!” Petra screamed. When the lights snapped back on, Devin froze. Viktor was standing right there in the middle of the room, smiling like the crazed murderer he was. Petra instantly drew her knife, the anger filling her blood at the thought of Amanda being murdered by this thing. “You son of a—” “Petra.” Devin said without looking at her. “Get out.” She didn’t move. “Like hell I’m leaving you alone with him—” “Get. Out.” His tone made it clear there was no discussion. Then his voice softened. “Please.” Viktor’s eyes never left the table where the map lay. “You’ve been busy, Devin.” He smiled. “Putting my little treasure back together. I’ll take it now.” Devin stood straight, hands loose at his sides. “You’re not getting shit.” Viktor chuckled low, like a predator humouring prey. “Do you even know what you’re holding? You think you’re ready for what that m
CHAPTER 196
Petra’s boots hit against the gravel drive as the mansion came into view, her chest burning, lungs screaming for air. The car had stopped just about a mile away, and she was running as fast as she could. She had the map clutched so tightly inside her jacket that her knuckles hurt. Her clothes and skin were torn and bloodied. She didn’t care about any of that, though. All she knew was that she just had to get to Devin before anyone else did. If something like this could cause Amanda to die… fuck, she didn’t want to think about that. When she got to the gate, the guards bowed to greet her, and the gates were already opening. “Devin! Devin!” She yelled as she ran in. Devin got out of the car that was coming out with his coat still on, looking panicked and on edge as he’d been ready to leave. Dreykov and two other guards were behind him. “Petra?” Devin sounded annoyed. “Where the hell have you been?” She shook her head. “I—” “I wasn’t expecting you to leave with Amanda
CHAPTER 195
The darkness inside the room felt alive. Amanda could have sworn that it was breathing. The wind had stopped spinning and flinging papers and books around and they stood there, shaking. Petra’s knife was already out, her blade catching what little moonlight was squeezing through the cracked window. “Amanda…” “He’s supposed to be out by this time, he’s never usually in this late…” Amanda whispered. That was when they heard someone laughing evilly. Petra went forward, raising her knife. “Show yourself, you coward. I dare you.” Amanda nearly facepalmed herself. Who says something like that to someone capable of causing a natural disaster? From the darkness, a figure got out of it like it had been part of the wall all along, emanating a dull light. He snapped his fingers and the darkness started to dissolve before it became one huge creature in front of them, standing next to him. “Viktor…” His smile widened. “Ah… my sweet little traitor. You brought a friend too.
CHAPTER 194
Amanda’s was crouched low behind a stone wall with Petra. This was her one chance to prove herself to Devin, to prove that she was a changed woman. She had promised to get the missing half, and she would get it. Viktor’s hideout loomed ahead. It was an old, rotting estate hidden in the woods, and its roof was caved in on one side, and it looked like it was somehow… breathing. “This is it?” Petra asked. “Devin told me—” “He has multiple hideouts.” Amanda said. “This is one of his oldest, and he makes it look terrible to not draw suspicion, just in case.” “Is that so? I just thought it represented who he actually is on the inside.” Petra said, unimpressed. “Well, yeah. This is where he hides the stuff he doesn’t want anyone finding.” Amanda sighed. Petra tilted her head and gave her a side glance. “I heard you the first time. And do you mean where he hides your stuff too? Or was that your bedroom in there at some point?” Amanda didn’t look at her. “Funny.” “I
CHAPTER 194
The sky above the mansion was starting to get much darker, and the cloud-like whirlpool in the sky seemed to just keep folding in on itself until the shadows came down into the yard looking like a part of the place was just night. The dogs were still barking like mad, and Amanda felt goosebumps right above her skin. She felt like she could die. All of a sudden, out of that darkness that came to the floor, a figure came forward. It was Viktor. His boots hit the ground and the force of him destroyed the large gates, throwing it backwards. He walked in like he owned the place, his coat was ripped in a lot of places, and he still had the blood stains from the fight in the woods, but his face carried that same smirk that he always had. “Devin.” He drawled. “Long time since our last fight.” Devin didn’t move. “You’re on my property, Viktor. That’s a bad move, you of all people should know better.” Viktor’s eyes slid past him, and that was when he and Amanda locked eyes instan
CHAPTER 192
192. The sun was beginning to go down when Devin finally got in as Dreykov drove through the iron gates of his mansion. The sky was painted with beautiful reds and oranges, and everything looked so beautiful and at peace. His jacket was half-unzipped, and his boots stomped heavily on the polished tiles as he walked inside. Petra stood at the edge of the hallway, her arms folded, keeping her face tight. "You're late." She said immediately. "I was handling stuff, I'm sorry." Devin replied flatly. "What happened? Why are you outside?" Petra sighed, moving closer to him. "A woman came here. She was crying, and she seemed scared out of her fucking mind." "Okay, who was it?" Devin asked. Petra took in a deep breath. "Your ex, Amanda." Devin's brow furrowed. "Amanda?" "She mentioned a name. Viktor." The moment she said it, Devin froze. The air around him turned cold. "She said that Viktor killed someone. A man called Luke, I think." Devin's eyes narrowed.
