Phantom’s POV

Maryelle’s body convulsed once more, then went still. Too still.

The healer’s hands moved quickly, pressing against her chest, checking her pulse, his brow furrowing deeper with each passing second. Finally, he looked up, his face grim. “Her system has shut down. She’s fallen into a coma. If we don’t act soon, she won’t have much time.”

The words hollowed me out. I had planned to have the vial examined thoroughly—tested by my scientists, studied by werecreature medical profess

    The lab looms ahead like a monument to human cruelty.Steel-reinforced walls rise from the earth.Scarred.Twisted.Wrong.Deep gouges claw across the metal exterior.Something tried to escape this place.And failed.A flickering fluorescent light hangs above the entrance, casting sickly shadows across reinforced glass streaked with stains too old to be fresh.The smell reaches us first.Antiseptic.Bleach.Rot.Chemical decay.The scent has been scrubbed and sterilized so many times it feels embedded in the walls themselves.Like death wearing perfume.The floor vibrates beneath our boots.A low mechanical hum.Steady.Unnatural.The building feels alive.Watching.Listening.Remembering.This isn't a laboratory.It's a tomb dressed in stainless steel.Then another scent slams into me.Maryelle.Her blood.The smell crashes into my lungs.Violent.Immediate.She's here.Alive.She has to be.Canum wouldn't—"Ah." Canum's voice echoes through the facility. "So the boys finally showed

    "I'll kill him." The promise leaves quietly. "Unlike you, I won't hesitate to put down a rabid dog."A strange smile crosses Phantom's face.Cold.Almost amused."There you are." His eyes narrow. "The Lucian I know. I wonder what Maryelle would think if she saw this version of you. The real version of you."The jab finds its mark."Maybe she'd regret picking a psychopath.""What exactly were you offering her?" I fire back immediately."You made it painfully clear she would never wear your crown."A step closer."You chose your uncle over her."Another."And you broke her in ways she still hasn't recovered from."The amusement vanishes. Shame takes its place.Briefly.Painfully."I did love her."His admission catches me off guard."She was my first love."His voice lowers."A part of me still believes she's the one."For a moment, I almost feel sorry for him.Almost."Then help me rescue her." My own voice softens. "And when we do..." I pause. "Let her go."His eyes meet mine."She de

    Lucian’s POV She nestles against me, our legs tangled beneath the covers, her presence as natural and necessary as breathing.A white tank clings to her, barely concealing the graceful curve of her back. Her shorts ride high on her hips, leaving long, sun-kissed legs tangled with mine beneath the sheets.Dark hair spills across the pillow, damp strands catching the faint glow from the bedside lamp.She looks unreal.Like a dream too beautiful to survive daylight.My Maryelle.My breathtaking Diyosa.Her brown eyes search mine as though I'm something precious.Something worth keeping."I'm so lucky," she murmurs, her lips brushing my chin. "I found real love in this lifetime."She tries to suppress her smile.Fails spectacularly.Light pours through her anyway.I brush a strand of hair from her face."I think I'm the lucky one."My thumb lingers against her cheek."And I could give you a thousand reasons why."She leans closer.Forehead against mine.Breath mingling with mine.Then sh

    For a moment, Phantom just stares at me.Then, "So she lied to my uncle."His voice drops. Dangerously low. "Murdered innocent people."Another step forward."And destabilized my kingdom."His jaw clenches."All because of a prophecy.""I never asked her to.""No." His laugh is humorless. "You just knew she'd do it."That one hits harder.Because it's true.His eyes bore into mine."You knew she'd burn down a continent for her twin--for you." He snaps. "And you left out the gasoline."Silence.I absorb the blow.Then force myself back to the problem at hand. "Are we here to catalogue our mistakes, or save Maryelle?"The room stills.The anger remains.But his expression changes.Shifts.Narrows toward a singular target.Canum."She's the only reason I haven't killed you, Lucian."The admission doesn't surprise me."I care how she sees me." His jaw flexes."I won't let her remember me as the man who destroyed her peace because I couldn't give her happiness."For the first time all day,

    Lucian's POV continued The screen goes black.For one brief second, absolutely nobody moves.Then chaos detonates.People are shouting.Guards are moving.Someone screams.Somebody throws a chair.The palace explodes into panic.And all I can think is one thing.*He's going to kill her.*The thought repeats.Relentless.Endlessly.*He's going to kill her.*My vision tunnels.Narrows.Darkens.Everything else disappears.Grief.Funerals.Politics.Phantom.Gone.Nothing exists except getting to her.Then—Pain explodes across my jaw.The world snaps back into focus.I stagger.Blink.Taste blood.Israfil stands directly in front of me."What the hell—""Snap out of it!"The prince's voice booms across the chaos."WE ARE GOING TO SAVE HER."The words slam into me.I inhale sharply.Once.Twice.The fractured pieces of my mind begin clicking back into place.Strategy.Resources.Intelligence.Action.I rub my jaw.Cough once.Force myself to focus."Thanks."My voice sounds rough.Forei

    Lucian's POV "Ride with me." Israfil is already climbing into a sleek black town car at the front of the motorcade. "Our guards and my royal fold will follow behind." I glance toward my own vehicle before sighing. "You're very bossy for a prince." "So I've been told." I slide into the seat beside him. The door closes. Silence settles between us as the procession begins moving. For several minutes, neither of us speaks. Which is unfortunate. Because there is something I need to say. Something that has been rattling around inside my skull for days. I clear my throat. "I'm in love with Maryelle." Israfil turns his head. Mild surprise flickers across his features before disappearing entirely. "A straight shooter." A corner of his mouth curves upward. "I respect that." The city drifts past outside his window. "But your actions over the next few months will either prove that statement true or expose it as bullshit." A laugh escapes me. Fair. Entirely fair. "I wasn't expect

    Despite the mountain lion scare, Phantom and I spend the next couple of weeks moving through summer as if it were stitched just for us. Each moment with him eclipses the last, and the way he treats me makes him feel less like a prince of bloodlines and more like the kind of prince carved out of dre

    In the club, the music pounds against the speakers like an angry woodpecker trying to demolish a tree. Al yells her order over the noise, and the bartender hands her two shots in return. She shoves one in my direction, and before I can decline, a guy jumps in front of me and shoves the glass filled

    The sun sets. Captivated, I watch its buttery haze disappear behind the clouds in pretty shades of blue, purple, and splotches of gold. It reminds me of the sunsets back home at Falls Quaker and briefly takes my mind off being stuck in Rome, Georgia. I glance at Al’s bed and wonder what the next fe

    “This is not Australia.”“You're a genius, Maryelle—too clever for the world,” my mother deadpans.“Mom, what the heck! You said we were going on a summer vacation. You were taking me to Australia and Rome. Again, I have to point out that this place looks like neither.” I hadn’t been suspicious whe
