로그인Lilith's POV I woke up screaming.Not the kind of screaming you do in nightmares where you jolt awake and laugh it off. No, this was the kind where your throat tears and your lungs burn and you don't even know why yet because your body already knows something is catastrophically wrong before your brain catches up.The white walls hit me first. Then the chains. Then the silence.Not real silence. The kind that lives inside your skull when something that's supposed to be there just isn't anymore. I reached for the pack bond the way you reach for your phone in your pocket, automatic, thoughtless, and my mind slammed into a wall of nothing. A vacuum. A dead zone where my entire world used to live.Vane's sarcasm. Ronan's quiet steadiness. My son's chaotic little heartbeat. The newborns. Lilith.Gone.I didn't think. I didn't strategize. I just moved, throwing myself against the null-stone cuffs like a rabid animal, feeling something in my wrist pop and grind in a way that should've made
Lilith's POV The sky above the bone colosseum split open like someone took a can opener to reality, and hundreds of armored warriors came pouring through the golden rift like angry hornets whose nest got kicked.I had Lilith's head in my lap, her fingers crushing mine hard enough to grind bone, and I was already doing the mental math on how screwed we were. The Solaris Vanguard landed in perfect formation on the shattering floor, their sun-forged armor gleaming like they'd spent hours polishing it for this exact moment. Their commander touched down last, because of course he did, dramatic entrances being a universal constant for people who thought they were God's favorite children.He pointed his spear directly at Lilith's stomach, and I felt something inside me go absolutely feral."Hand over the Sun-Heir, street rogues, and we will grant the mother a quick death!" he bellowed, like he was reading from a script someone wrote for him.Malakai didn't say a single word back. Just let o
Lilith's POV The shockwave hit us like a freight train made of pure nightmare fuel and sent me, Vane, and Ronan flying across the bone colosseum floor. My back slammed into a pillar hard enough that I felt something crack, but I was already scrambling up before my brain even caught up to my body because Lilith was screaming and that sound alone could bring me back from death itself.She was on her knees in the center of the arena, both hands clutching her stomach that looked so wrong, so swollen, so unnatural for someone who was only five months pregnant. Her veins were turning black right before my eyes, spreading like poison under her skin, and I could literally watch the life drain out of her face as the thing inside her fed."Kai!" Vane shouted, already on his feet with his golden eyes blown wide. "Kai, her pulse is dropping!"I knew that. I could feel it through the bond, that thread that connected all four of us, and it was flickering like a dying lightbulb. The unborn Void-God
Lilith's POV The Shadow-Titan’s claw came down so hard the bone floor cracked under my feet. Malakai, Vane, and Ronan lunged forward like they were ready to tear the thing apart. Alpha instincts, pure and stupid. I screamed the command before any of them could get close.“Stand down, all of you!”My dark magic slammed out and locked them inside a dome. Malakai hit the barrier so hard his fists bled. His red eyes looked frantic as hell.“Lilith, move! He doesn’t know it’s you! He’s gonna crush you!”I stared up at the roaring Titan, tears already running down my face. “He’s my son, Kai. I’m not fighting him.”The claw smashed against my shield again. The Void-blood inside that huge body had him completely gone. I couldn’t hold the barrier forever. I needed something deeper than magic. Something biological.I dropped the part of the dome around Malakai and yanked him in by his blood-stained shirt until his body slammed against mine right under the Titan’s shadow. No time for soft. No t
Lilith's POV I took every hit like it was nothing. Vane’s claws ripped straight through the armor on my chest, and Ronan’s sank deep into my shoulder like he was trying to tear the whole arm off. Black acid dripped from their jaws and burned straight through skin. Their eyes were pure pitch black. No gold left. No recognition. Just hunger.I didn’t raise the broadsword. I couldn’t. Street vow still held. Never hurt my brothers. Not for anything. I let them cut me open while I tried to drag them both down to the bone floor.“Vane, snap out of it!” I roared, blood filling my mouth. Ronan’s claws twisted harder. “It’s me, you idiot. Come on.”The Void Empress laughed from the balcony, swirling that dark wine like this was dinner theater. “They don’t know your name, street rat. They only know hunger.”Lilith dropped her shadow-scythe. It hit the floor with a heavy clang. Her black eyes didn’t even flicker with fear. “Then let them eat.”She walked straight between us. No hesitation. Just
Lilith's POV I stood on that single floating plank of wood, the sky dead and empty all around us. The portal was gone for good. The Empress had taken my son and my Alphas and locked the Deep Void behind her. Only the dead got invited back in.I turned to Malakai. His red eyes were already wild, blood still streaked across his face from the last fight. I grabbed his wrists and shoved his hands straight onto my chest.“Stop my heart,” I said.He jerked back so hard the plank rocked. “Absolutely not. I am not stopping your heart, Lilith. I’ll find another way.”“There is no other way, Kai. She has our son. Kill me, open the door, and drag me back.”His jaw locked. Tears of pure rage mixed with the blood on his cheeks. “If you don’t wake up I’m burning this entire multiverse to ash.”I didn’t look away. “Then don’t let me stay dead.”He moved fast. One precise strike to the nerve cluster on my neck and everything went black. My heart just quit. The sky ripped open like it had been waitin
Lilith's POV The sound of running water fills everywhere, echoing in the bathroom. Steam fills the air until it's almost heavy and thick, the scent of expensive jasmine clogging my nostrils…the kind my mother loved. But no matter how much perfume is poured, it still can't reduce the bitter, meta
Lilith's POV The room is suffocating and hot, like it's about to explode. Heat stings on my skin, my heart ramming in my ribs so hard I can hardly think properly. The silk ties are still wrapped around Roman's fingers and Vane? I can feel his long, masculine hands wrapped around my hip, pulling m
Lilith's POV One moment, I'm standing on the platform, the next, I'm being dragged out of the room. Vane doesn't lead me towards the red carpet at the main entrance or the hotel. Instead, he hauls me through the back service doors reserved for the workers, right past empty stacks of crates. His
PROLOGUE;They always told me the world was my oyster. Turns out I was just the pearl….polished pretty for someone else's collection.My name is Lilith. And no, this isn't one of those stories where I'm the rejected mate crying in the rain. I don't do rain, it ruins the suede on my Birkin. I was th
