This was a very 

bad idea

There was no justification, no silver lining, no noble sacrifice attached to it. It was just bad

I exhaled slowly, closing my eyes for a brief moment as I reached for my wolf making sure she was there. Before I even got into the car that brought me here, I had made my stance clear to herI would not tolerate her dramatics or stubbornness today. If I called for her, she had better listen

All I got in response was a sharp flicker of amusement in my head, but I knew deep down that if I truly needed her, she would be there. At least, I was counting on it

The restaurant was eerily empty. No tables, no chairsjust a vast open space that felt more like a stage than a meeting place. Damien was nowhere to be seen yet, but I knew better than to relax

Then the door creaked open, and I went rigid

Footsteps./Steady, unhurried

My wolf bristled instantly, a low growl vibrating through my chest. I turned sharply, expecting Damien

But it wasn’t him

It was Grayson

For a moment, neither of us spoke

I wasn’t sure what to say. I wasn’t even sure why he was here. Had Damien called him, too? Or had he followed me

Another set of footsteps echoed through the space, and my wolf’s growl turned violent this time. I tore my gaze from Grayson just in time to see Damien stroll in from the other side, wearing that signature smile of his

And just like that, I realized how much I had hated that smile had held so much reassurances that had helped me stay sane over the years. I had to remind myself that every single, every single smile ever directed at me was fake

Just like this one was.. 

The golden couple to be graces me with their presence,He mused, spreading his arms as if he were welcoming guests to a party, What an honor this is.” 

I opened my mouth to speak, but he raised a single hand, cutting me off before I could even begin

The rules from the vault still apply here, Little Dove,He reminded me smoothly. Don’t speak unless I ask or give you permission to. Istill have a target on all your friends. And yournonfriends.” 

His gaze flickered to Grayson behind me, and something dark curled in his smirk

You know, has anyone ever told you that you frown too much?Damien mused. Wrinkle lines aren’t a good look. It’ll ruin that pictureperfect face of yours. Why do you think I smile so much?” 

Because you’re a lunatic,I spat before I could stop myself

Damien’s smirk sharpened, his eyes flashing with something unreadable

Grayson still hadn’t said a word, but I felt the shift in him, the quiet, simmering tension radiating off of him in waves. Even without his wolf, he carried that raw, commanding presence that had once been second nature to him

And for some reason, that realization settled something deep inside me, made me feel more reassured that we were going to get out from whatever sick and twisted thing Danien had by bringing us here

Not that it mattered. I pushed the thought away as quickly as it came

I wasn’t depending on him. I didn’t need him to save me anymore

The tension in here is just suffocating,Damien sighed dramatically, stepping back toward the door he had come from, Why don’t we clear the air a little?” 

I glanced back at Grayson, but he wasn’t looking at me

His eyes were locked on the exact spot where Damien had entered from, his expression stonecold

And then, with a casual ease that made my stomach twist, Damien disappeared behind the doorway

A few seconds passed, and then he returnedthis time carrying a single chair

He set it down in the middle of the empty space, flipped it around, and straddled it backward, resting his arms lazily over the backrest. His eyes flicked between us, amusement glinting in their depths

You two are tense,He observed, shaking his head. Honestly, I expected a little more warmth. A little morechemistry. What’s going on? Trouble in paradise?” 

My jaw clenched

Don’t,I warned

Damien ignored me completely, tilting his head as he studied Grayson, Tell me, Your Highness, do you ever stop brooding/ long enough to actually talk to her? Because from where I’m sitting, it looks like-” 

Enough,Grayson cut in, his voice like ice

It was the first thing he had said since walking in, and the weight of it was enough to silence the room

Damien arched a brow, lips curving

Grayson stepped forward slightly, his gaze locked on Damien’s. No one is in the mood for your games. Why don’t you tell us what you want, or better yettell us what the next step in your grand plan is?” 

And Damienhe laughed

Low, Amused

Like he had been waiting for that exact moment

Ah,He exhaled, his smile deepening, There it is. That lovely edge I was waiting for.” 

Grayson said nothing

I said nothing

Damien leaned forward, resting his chin on his arms as his eyes glimmered with something dark, something wicked

Alright, then, he murmured. If we’re skipping the foreplay, lets get to the good part, shall we?”

Chapter 221 

The room felt impossibly still

Then Damien’s 

eyes 

nicked up, straight toward the window behind us

And his smirk widened.. 

I do have a question for you both,He mused, tilting his head, Why is the curse still intact? He might not have realized it yet, but he did mark his fated mate.” 

Behind me, I felt Grayson go completely still. The shift in his presence was so sudden, so sharp, that it sent a wave of tension through my body. My teeth ground together in frustration, my hands curling into fists at my sides

Damien’s smirk stretched wider as his eyes gleamed with realization, Oh,He breathed, almost delighted, You didn’t tell him, did you, Little Dove? About the misunderstanding surrounding your entire existence? About how your dear sister, the one I took, was supposed to carry the essence? How she was meant to be his fated matebut in reality, it was you all along?” 

My breath caught in my throat

I didn’t move

I didn’t dare look at Grayson

Because I didn’t want to see it

Didn’t want to see the weight of realization settle in his features, the moment it all clicked into place for him. I didn’t want to see him take me innot as the mistake, the replacement, the miscalculation I had believed myself to be, but as the truth That we had been right to find each other. That we had been meant to

Damien let out a low, mocking whistle, So many secrets between you two. It’s honestly exhausting watching you around them. I think it’s time we leveled the playing field.” 

dance 

His eyes flicked back to me, sharp and knowing, You found out about your sister after he threw you out. Which means he never told you that he already knew she existed. That he was searching for her. That he had his precious PI sniffing around trying to track her down, believing she was the one he had been waiting for all along.” 

I felt my chest tighten

Damien’s gaze slid toward Grayson, his smirk deepening. Of course, he failed. Couldn’t find a single trace of her.His voice dripped with satisfaction

I swallowed hard, forcing myself to turn toward Grayson

You knew?My voice was quiet, but it carried, You knew I had a twin sister? You thought she was your fated mate? And didn’t tell me?” 

you 

For a fleeting moment, his gaze softened. Just for a second. A flicker of something raw passed through his eyessomething close to regret

And then, just as quickly, it was gone

His expression hardened, his jaw tightening as he tore his gaze away from me and back to Damien, Get to the point.” 

Damien sighed, shaking his head in disappointment, You used to be so much more interesting, you know that? All of you.He leaned back lazily, stretching out his legs, You were all just pieces on my board, and none of you even knew it. And now?He clicked his tongue. Look at you. Refusing to work through your issues. Refusing to acknowledge the truth that’s staring you right in the face.” 

His eyes 

found mine again, the amusement in them chilling, But no matter. I have a proposition for you, Little Dove.”

I know what you are,His voice lowered, the playfulness melting into something far more dangerous, The product of a prophecy. The vessel of something ancient. And I’ve felt it. The glimpses of power inside you. The mistake I made was trying to kill you when I should have harnessed you instead.” 

The air in the room changed

I accept my misstep,He admitted, But I am offering you something nowsomething greater than any of the chains they’ve tried to put on you. You and I together?His lips curled. We could take the realm, With your power and my influence, we would be unstoppable. Everyone who has ever doubted you, everyone who has ever tried to cage you….His gaze flickered to Grayson, They would be nothing compared to you.” 

Silence hung between us, thick and suffocating

And then I exhaled sharply, tilting my head, And that,I said slowly, was supposed to be the part that tempted me? The part where I jump at the chance to join you?” 

Damien frowned slightly

But just as quickly as the expression appeared, it vanishedreplaced by something far more calculated

His smirk returned, smoother than before. What if I promised you something more? What if I offered you something more? A real family more connected to you than anyone could ever freak of being.” 

My pulse stuttered

You and I,Damien continued, voice almost gentle now, We have always made a good team. You know we have. That’s not just historyit’s nature.His head tilted, And that, my dear, is a trait I shared with both Pierce daughters.” 

Silence followed before his next words, I believe it is time for you to meet your sister, Little Dove.”
