Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 93: The Awakening
The dragoons moved swiftly through the dimly lit tunnels, their footsteps echoing off the cold stone walls. Faolan led the way, her keen senses guiding them as she sniffed out any trace of danger. The faint scent of blood and sweat clung to the air, mingling with the stench of mold and damp earth—a reminder of the grim reality of the mine. Shadows danced along the walls, flickering with the dim light of their torches as they navigated the maze of passages, each one more foreboding than the last.Parker’s grip tightened around his rifle, his senses on high alert. The team had cleared several tunnels, silently taking out guards with swift, lethal efficiency, but they had yet to find Conor or Kerrigan. Each step deeper into the mine heightened the tension; the deeper they went, the more the walls seemed to close in, the oppressive heat and stifling air bearing down on them.As they rounded a corner, Faolan stopped abruptly, her ears perking up as she let out a soft whine. She sniffed the
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 94: Reckoning
The team moved with purpose, a unified force sweeping through the dark, winding tunnels of the mine. Conor and Kerrigan remained at the center, their hands clasped together, a tangible connection of blue and green lightning mixed with gold, coursing between them.Every step they took sent a pulse of energy rippling outwards, the raw power of Celia and Abraxas reshaping the very air around them. Conor could sense that this was only a taste of the power of the dragons, but it was building with each moment he and Kerrigan were united.Parker took the lead, his rifle up and ready as he scanned the corridors ahead. Faolan trotted beside him, her nose twitching as she picked up traces of unfamiliar scents—blood, sweat, and something darker, something tainted with an ancient malice. The dragoons moved with precision, their eyes sharp and every muscle coiled like a spring ready to snap.The alarms continued to blare, echoing through the stone passages. The shrill, grating sound served as a co
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 95: Sacrifice
Zadok stood, the fractured Soul Stone pulsing in his grip, its dark energy flaring like a twisted sun. The chamber was a battlefield of light and shadow, each strike of magic and burst of gunfire rattling the stone walls.Conor and Kerrigan, despite their combined might, were being pushed back, every ounce of their power barely keeping the dark onslaught at bay.The dragoons were scattered, bloodied but still fighting. Parker’s shoulder hung limp, Reilynn and Evelynn struggled to fend off the shadowy blasts, and Colonel Eli barked orders, his resolve unbroken even as the tide seemed insurmountable.Conor was on his knees, his breath ragged, pain etched across his face as he tried to stand and protect Kerrigan.Zadok’s sneer widened, his face contorted in a grotesque mask of victory. He raised his hand, shadows coiling around it like serpents, ready to deliver the final blow.“Kneel before Falik, and accept your end,” he growled, his voice dripping with malice as the room darkened with
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 96: Fractured Remains
The aftermath of the battle hung heavy in the stifling heat of the chamber, the air thick with the acrid stench of sulfur and charred stone.Conor held Kerrigan close as they sat on the floor, his grip firm as she clutched her knees to her chest, slowly rocking, her soul threatened to buckle under the weight of their shared loss.His own back was a smoking mess of charred skin that hurt to move, but he still held her, refusing to let the woman he loved deal with this pain of loss alone.Gabriella’s sacrifice had saved them all, but her absence left a hollow ache that gnawed at the edges of their resolve.Colonel Eli moved to the edge of the lava pit, his face drawn and grim. His eyes fell on the Soul Stone, its jagged pieces scattered near the molten rock, still pulsing faintly with the dark energy of Falik.The once-whole artifact, so dangerously close to full power, was now a fractured mess, its ominous glow sputtering like a dying ember. Yet even in its weakened state, the stone ra
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 97: The Weight of Leadership
The mine tunnels echoed with the weary footsteps of the dragoons as they made their way toward the exit. The oppressive darkness and suffocating heat of the mine were finally behind them, but the weight of their losses hung heavily in the stale air.Faolan led the way, her keen senses guiding the team through the labyrinth of rock and stone, her nose twitching at every new scent.As they moved, soldiers from the split teams began to rejoin them, their faces grim. Some men were visibly wounded—bandages hastily wrapped around arms and legs, blood staining their fatigues. Many limped, others leaned on comrades for support, but all were determined to get out of the mine with as few casualties as possible.Parker took a headcount, his expression growing darker with each tally. “We’re missing eight,” he said, his voice rough with frustration and fatigue. “Three of the teams are down men, and the rest are hurt.”Reilynn’s face was set in a hard line as she scanned the group. “We knew it was
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 98: Extraction and Decisions
The cool night air was a stark contrast to the suffocating heat of the mine, offering a brief but welcome relief as the team emerged from the underground hell.The clear sky above was dotted with stars and the first hints of morning light, indifferent to the suffering below, but the sound of approaching helicopters broke the stillness, drawing everyone’s attention.Colonel Eli’s team had called for extraction, and now the cavalry had arrived. Three helicopters circled above, their searchlights slicing through the darkness, illuminating the battered group of dragoons and soldiers as they gathered at the entrance of the mine.As the helicopters hovered, ropes dropped, and medics in tactical gear descended swiftly. They immediately began assessing the wounded, their faces grave as they moved from one injured soldier to the next.Conor, Kerrigan, and the rest of the team were exhausted, their bodies pushed beyond their limits, but there was no rest yet. There were decisions to be made, an
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 99: Chaos at Lokir Regional Medical Center
The emergency room of Lokir’s central hospital was in complete disarray. Medical staff moved frantically, their white coats billowing as they rushed from bed to bed, trying to make sense of the influx of wounded soldiers.The sudden surge of military personnel had turned the quiet, orderly hospital into something resembling a war zone.Stretchers clogged the hallways, some carrying men groaning in pain, others unconscious, their uniforms stained with dirt and blood. Shouted orders and the frantic beeping of monitors created a cacophony of sound that only intensified the chaos.Nurses and doctors worked in triage mode, doing what they could to stabilize the worst cases first.Provincial army soldiers from Targu, all clad in their dark blue and silver uniforms, stood watch over every corner of the hospital, their presence a stark reminder of the intensity of the situation.Security was tighter than anyone in Lokir had ever seen, and the tense atmosphere only added to the already palpabl

Evelynn scoffed, unable to hold back. “So, he’s bought his way into power, and now we have to bow and scrape just to hold him accountable for his crimes?”“Not exactly,” Eli interjected, his voice cutting through the tension. “We can still pursue charges against Kelan Benedict. His involvement isn’t covered by his father’s new title, and if we find solid evidence, we can drag him into court.”Parker folded his arms, his expression dark. “But you know they’ll use every trick in the book to stall and deflect. They’ll bury us in legal battles and smear campaigns.”Kerrigan’s mind was racing, trying to piece together a strategy. “We need to be smarter. Gregor’s title may give him legal protection, but public opinion is another story. If we can expose the truth—get the people on our side—Gregor’s newfound nobility won’t protect him from the outrage of the masses.”Her eyes narrowed, “Besides, now that he is nobility, his actions rise to the level of treason.”The Colonel and Captain both sh
