CHAPTER 126

Two hours later, after the medical team had tended to Camila's injuries, setting her broken nose, splinting her finger, treating the various contusions and lacerations, Adrian returned to the interrogation room.

This time, he came alone.

Rafael had argued against it, insisting that Adrian should have backup, that Camila was still dangerous despite her injuries.

But Adrian had been firm. "She'll talk more freely without an audience. Without feeling like she's performing for your bene

  • I SLEPT WITH HER!!!😱

    CHAPTER 129The Mercedes sedan pulled up to a sprawling estate on the outskirts of Ottawa, a property so secluded that Isabella hadn't even known it existed despite living in the city her entire life.The building itself was breathtaking, a modern villa that somehow managed to blend contemporary architecture with classical elegance.Floor-to-ceiling windows. Immaculate landscaping. Stone pathways that wound through gardens that probably cost more to maintain than most people's yearly salaries."Papa," Isabella said quietly as the car came to a stop. "Where are we? Who lives here?"Jean-Baptiste didn't answer. His jaw was clenched so tightly that Isabella could see the muscles jumping beneath his skin.The driver, one of their regular employees, opened the door, and Jean-Baptiste stepped out stiffly.Isabella followed, her heart racing.What you did last night has exposed our family to something dangerous.You have angered someone we cannot afford to anger.The words kept echoing in he

  • WE HAVE ANGERED SOMEONE WE CAN'T AFFORD TO

    CHAPTER 128Isabella stood in front of the hotel room mirror, her fingers working methodically through the buttons of her blouse.The clothes had been delivered while she was in the shower, neatly folded and placed on the dresser by hotel staff. A simple but elegant outfit: dark jeans, a cream-colored silk blouse, and a lightweight jacket. Far more practical than the wet, ruined clothes from the night before.Her hands trembled slightly as she fastened each button, and she had to start over twice when she realized she'd misaligned them.Stop shaking, she told herself firmly. You made a choice. You don't regret it. So stop acting like you do.But her body didn't seem to be listening to her mind.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Adrian's face, those impossible black eyes that had slowly bled back to blue as the night progressed. His fangs that had retracted gradually until they were almost normal. The way he'd looked at her with such desperate need mixed with genuine care."I'l

  • WHEN THE HUNTERS FINALLY FIND HIM

    Chapter 127"You have heard something," Adrian observed. "What is it?"Camila hesitated, clearly weighing whether to share the information."The medical treatment you received," Adrian reminded her. "The promise that you'll be released unharmed. All of that depends on your cooperation."Camila exhaled slowly, her shoulders slumping. "Fine. Yes, I've heard something. From one of my contacts...someone who keeps tabs on supernatural activity in North America.""And?" Adrian prompted."The Cazadores de la Noche," Camila said, the Spanish rolling off her tongue with native fluency. "The Night Hunters. They're here. In Canada."Adrian felt ice settle in his stomach. "When did they arrive?""Within the last week," Camila said. "Maybe five or six days ago. My contact spotted them in Montreal initially, but they've been moving steadily westward.""Toward Ottawa," Adrian said grimly."Presumably," Camila confirmed. "Though my contact lost track of them about forty-eight hours ago. They're good

    CHAPTER 126Two hours later, after the medical team had tended to Camila's injuries, setting her broken nose, splinting her finger, treating the various contusions and lacerations, Adrian returned to the interrogation room.This time, he came alone.Rafael had argued against it, insisting that Adrian should have backup, that Camila was still dangerous despite her injuries.But Adrian had been firm. "She'll talk more freely without an audience. Without feeling like she's performing for your benefit."So now he sat across from Camila Reyes in the sterile interrogation room, studying her bandaged face with clinical detachment.She looked marginally better than before, cleaned up, medicated, her more serious injuries stabilized. But the damage was still evident.Her eyes were still swollen, though now she could at least open them both partially. Her nose was packed with gauze. Her split lip had been treated with some kind of supernatural healing salve that had stopped the bleeding but le

  • COULD ISABELLA BE OF ROYAL BLOOD?

    CHAPTER 125The armored SUV pulled away from the Fairmont Hotel, heading north toward the Canadian wilderness where the Valerio family maintained one of their most secure safe houses.Adrian sat in the back seat, still feeling the lingering effects of the aphrodisiac though they were significantly diminished. His eyes had returned almost completely to their normal ice-blue, though faint dark traces remained around the pupils.Rafael sat across from him, reviewing documents on his tablet. Miguel occupied the front passenger seat, coordinating with security teams via encrypted phone. And Fabian...Fabian sat beside Adrian, his ancient eyes sharp and assessing, studying Adrian with an intensity that made him uncomfortable."What?" Adrian finally asked, noticing the constant scrutiny. "Do I have something on my face?""No," Fabian said slowly. "But I've been observing you for the past two hours, and something is... different.""Different how?" Adrian asked warily."You haven't petrified

  • LOOK AT ME ISABELLA

    CHAPTER 124Sunlight filtered through the gauzy curtains of the hotel suite's bedroom, painting everything in soft gold.Adrian's eyes opened slowly, his consciousness surfacing gradually from the deepest sleep he'd had in weeks.For a moment, he was disoriented, unsure where he was, why his body felt simultaneously exhausted and strangely relaxed, why he could smell vanilla and something sweet so close by.Then memory crashed back.The drug. The bathtub. Isabella.Oh God. Isabella.Adrian's entire body went rigid with sudden awareness.He was in a bed, the hotel suite's massive king-sized bed, judging by the feel of expensive sheets against his skin.And he wasn't alone.Slowly, carefully, Adrian turned his head.Isabella lay beside him, propped up on one elbow, already awake.She was wearing one of the hotel's plush white robes, her damp hair spread across the pillow, her face clean of makeup.And she was watching him.Not with fear or disgust or regret.Just... watching. Her brown
