Chapter 185
“I want the whole fucking world to see you wear it. How do you feel about a billboard?” His hands rested on my waist.
These butterflies were eating me up.
“First food,” I said and stepped up on my toes.
Our lips met and his hand came around the back of my head, his fingers entwined in my hair and he took my lip between his lips and pulled before he whispered.
“Anything you want,”
We walked downstairs about to head into the kitchen, I hadn’t felt hunger like this in forever and I had a hankering for everything. Waffles sounded especially good, with cranberries dipped in brown sugar and syrup.
My stomach growled and Darian pursed his lips to hide the smirk.
We walked down the last hallway, almost there, I could smell the delicious scents of everything the chef was making but before we made it Darian stopped and looked around with suspense.
He lowered his head an inch and his eyes shifted into that of a predator.
“Come on,” he pulled me behind him and every time I tried to step next to him he tensed his arm to hold me back. He Must have gotten a mind link but it was early morning, what was the rush?
“What’s wrong?”
“Gabe needs to see us,”
He walked with a straight back to the family room and just as we entered I saw them all gathered; Gabe, Nora, Lauren- one of the lead Guards, and Elise.
But if Elise was here then who was with the girls?
I looked around and then set my eyes on Elise.
“The girls, where are they?”
She raised a hand and offered a calming smile.
“The girls are alright, they are with Mrs. Smith,”
I chewed on my inner cheeks to keep from laughing. Who knew that Mrs. Smith was a babysitter?
I could see her sitting at the edge of a table with a whip in her hand in case Kiera drew outside the lines.
“Right,” I said, dragging the word and Darian nudged me.
“What is this about, Gabriel?”
Gabe looked at me and nodded to Darian.
“Have you told him?” Gabe asked me.
“Told him what?”
I could feel Darian’s intense gaze at the side of my face but I was bewildered, unclear of what I was supposed to have told him.
And it struck me like a rock and I closed my eyes.

Chapter 185
“No, I haven’t had the time. We got…preoccupied,”
“I can see that,” Nora gleamed and sized up the shirt I was wearing.
I wanted to squeal and run over to her to share everything but the seriousness of the situation dimmed my joy in a heartbeat.
I looked up at Darian and licked my lips.
“After you left last night, Zade visited me. He told me something and then Gabe came and Zade disappeared,”
“Of course he did, disappearing is what he’s best at,” Darian groaned. “What did he tell you?”
My brows automatically furrowed when I thought about the secret Zade revealed.
“He said that you weren’t the key- that you were never the key,”
Darian’s eyes flickered over mine while the wheels in his brain took off spinning. Another riddle to be solved but that didn’t answer what everyone was doing gathered in here.
Then something shifted, from confusion to realization in a split second and his eyes took on a hard glare as he turned to face the others.
“Now you got it,” Gabe said proudly baring an evil grin, one that turned his eyes into something of a nightmare as he stared at his brother with a burning hatred.
The hatred couldn’t be directed at Darian though, that didn’t make sense.
Darian’s grip around my hand tightened to the point where it became painful and I put my hand on his arm where I noticed that he was stiff like a tree.
“They’re not coming for me,” he seethed and slowly turned his gaze to mine. My shoulders shook from the shiver that shot through me when I saw him and then he added,
“They’re coming for you,”
