I knew that voice.

Mira.

Her name hit me like a slap, sending a pulse of heat surging through my body.

LENA

Mira.

She was gone.

Cassian had taken her, hadn’t he?

I remembered the way she screamed when the mirror swallowed her, the way her body twisted as she was dragged into the abyss.

No.

I wouldn’t let that be the end.

I wouldn’t let him win.

With a choked gasp, I forced my hands to move, clawing at the suffocating dark around me.

It clung to my skin, thick and wet like tar, resisting, trying to pull me deeper.

But I kept climbing, pushing through the weight of it, fighting against Cassian’s grip.

His voice sharpened, a sliver of irritation curling beneath the warmth.

"Why do you always make this so difficult?"

He hissed the words against my ear, and for the first time—he sounded angry.

Good.

I reached deeper, grasping at that crack in the darkness, pulling at it with everything I had.

Something gave.

The blackness shattered.

Light—blinding, searing light—tore through the void, a

    And he was there.Sitting in the chair beside my hospital bed like he belonged there.Dressed in black, the collar of his shirt loose, his sleeves rolled up, exposing the veins that ran up his forearms.His eyes—They weren’t just looking at me.They were inside me.Sinking into my thoughts.Curling into the cracks of my mind.The room felt smaller.Tighter.The walls weren’t white anymore.The lights overhead buzzed, flickering between shadows, casting shapes that moved.Cassian tilted his head.The slow, indulgent movement of a predator who already knew how this would end.“I can hear your thoughts.”His voice was a silk-drenched whisper, threading into my bones.“All that fear. That doubt.”I forced my mouth open, my throat raw, words rotting on my tongue.“This—this isn’t real.”Cassian sighed, running a hand through his dark hair.“Still clinging to that, are we?”He leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees.Then—His fingers ghosted over my wrist.Every muscle in my body lock

    Warm.Slow.Too close."You’re mine, Lena."Something touched my wrist.Cold.Gentle.Just a fingertip tracing my veins.I snapped.I stumbled forward, scrambling for the door—But the ground wasn’t there anymore.The floor tilted, shifting beneath my feet like the whole world had turned upside down.My stomach flipped.The hospital walls melted into something else—something wet, pulsating, dripping with a darkness that stretched on forever.The mirror was gone.The sink was gone.Everything was gone.Except for him.Cassian stood in front of me, smiling.Not the kind of smile people gave when they were happy.The kind of smile people gave before they tore you apart."You ran, little dragon."His voice was silk and razors, curling around me like smoke."But I always catch what’s mine."I shook my head.“No.”My voice came out hoarse, strangled.“I beat you. I—”"You think breaking the bond was enough?"He tilted his head, his black eyes drinking me in."You think you were ever strong

    Why did my body still expect to feel Cassian’s fingers around my throat, still expect to see the dark claw marks down my arms?Why did the shadows in the corners of the room seem too dark, stretching toward me whenever I blinked?I turned my head to the small bathroom across the room.The door was open just enough to see inside.And there it was.The mirror.My stomach twisted.I hadn’t looked at a mirror since I woke up.I couldn’t.Because I knew.I knew.If I looked, if I really looked—I wouldn’t be alone.13LENAThe air in the hospital room felt thick.Stale.Like it had been sitting untouched for centuries.I couldn’t move.I couldn’t breathe.The mirror in the bathroom loomed in my peripheral vision.I tried not to look at it.I knew what would happen if I did.But I had to.Slowly, I sat up, every muscle screaming in protest.The sheets tangled around my legs, cold and damp with sweat.The heart monitor beeped steadily beside me, the only sound in the room.I swallowed.The m

    My head throbbed with every beat of my heart.My skin felt wrong—too smooth, too untouched.I forced my eyes open.White ceiling.White walls.The steady beep-beep-beep of a heart monitor to my right.An IV needle pressed into the soft skin of my hand.A thin hospital blanket covered my body, but beneath it, I felt the stiff fabric of a gown against my skin.I was alive.But something was missing.My arms shot up, my hands running over my forearms, my shoulders, my chest.My breath hitched.The scratches.The marks.The scars Cassian had left on me—Gone.I yanked back the blanket, my hospital gown riding up as I twisted my body, searching every inch of myself for proof.Nothing.No jagged claw marks down my spine.No dark sigils carved into my ribs.My skin was untouched.As if none of it had ever happened.A sharp panic surged through my chest.I shoved the blanket aside, ripping the IV out of my hand as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed.The second my feet hit the cold tile,

    It melted and reformed in waves, swallowing my feet, releasing me, pulling me back down.The glass had turned to liquid, thick and cold as blood.Then the first hand burst from the floor.Fingers—long, sharpened, black as tar—clawed their way up from the depths.The surface of the mirror rippled like water, spilling bodies into the collapsing world.I choked back a scream.There were so many of them.People.Or what used to be people.Their skin was stretched too tight over their skulls, their eyes hollow pits of flickering red.Their mouths gaped open in eternal screams, jagged teeth stained black.Some were missing pieces—limbs twisted in the wrong direction, faces slashed apart like shattered porcelain.They were his.The ones Cassian had taken before me.They crawled from the abyss, their broken fingers leaving trails of wet, inky smears across the fractured mirror floor.Some of them barely held together, their bodies split open like rotting fruit, organs sliding out in slow, wet
