ROMAN.

Denial washes over me like a giant wave, flattening me on the edge of the ocean. I turn to Padma and she slowly lifts her gaze towards mine like she’s asking for help.

And I want to give it to her. I know how the poison feels and it’s genuinely the most painful thing I have experienced, but right now all I can do is look back at her. My mind is actively denying the possible facts.

But August isn’t shying away from them.

“I don’t mean to blame your mate, you know that,” he starts to say. “But Padma hasn’t been anywhere outside even the palace. As soon as she woke up and got dressed, she immediately tried to look for Monica. She wasn’t anywhere close to you when you were poisoned either. The only connection is Monica.”

Padma tries to shake her head, but the pain only makes her wince. August puts a hand on her forehead, steadying her. “She couldn’t have done this. She has no capacity to do this. Please, don’t punish her for something out of her control….”

“I won’t do that,” I just

    MONICA.It had to be a lie. There’s simply no way it could be the truth. I look at the darkness where his face is supposed to be and I know deep down that I can’t trust it.“I made you,” the Disciple says in a low voice, and there’s a hint of raspiness in it that tells me that he enjoys sharing that fact. “You belong to me. Not to Roman, not to Terra Lycaon. At least, not the one that exists today. You belong to the future I’m going to make. With you by my side, in full power, no one will be able to stop us.”I can feel it from him, the waves of greed. I would even say that it’s hunger. It’s like hearing a delusional man stuck in the desert for so long, describing a feast that they’ve never had.“What do you plan to do?” I ask, stalling, stepping back.There must be a way I can still escape him. There has to be a way for me to get home and tell everyone about what he plans to do.But every step I take backward, he closes with another step forward until we’re face to face again. I can

    ROMAN.Years of seeing this thing as the enemy didn’t allow me to get my guard down. I shake my head, backing away from it. “No, I can’t come with you.”As soon as I say that, I immediately recoil. What am I even doing here, talking to that thing? Did Cassandra get my head hit so hard that I’m starting to imagine things? I look in the distance and see that Cassandra is still being torn into pieces by the same Creatures. Janus is still nowhere to be found. The only thing keeping me from dying are the very things that I know killed my people before. If it’s possible for a Creature to look impatient, the one in front of me definitely looks like it. "We don't have much time. My people are already getting destroyed by that beast, and I only instructed them to fight before you come with me. I don’t want to lose them."The urgency in her voice makes me snap out of it for a moment. And that moment is enough for her to drag me by the back my shirt and out of the place."No, my friend is stil

    MONICA.The change in energy surrounding the Disciple causes the knot of dread in my stomach to lock up. He holds out his hand for me, his movement surprisingly graceful. I lift my hand, about to hold his and get this over with.But that’s when I feel the tug of energy from the portal and realize that it’s open again.I turn my body slightly, knowing that if I make a break for it, I might just make it.“It will all make sense soon,” he tells me, his tone gentle. “If you just come with me now, it’s all going to get better. Roman won’t be harmed. None of the people back in Terra Lycaon would be harmed. Take my hand.”It’s a request. Not a command. Like he’s really trying not to be too harsh with me. I don’t know what else that would do to me, because I already know that I can’t trust him.When I don’t move, he takes a step forward, emerging from the shadows. But the darkness seems to follow him. He extends his arms further, urging me to take it, but I also just take a step back.And bef

    MONICA.“No,” I whisper to myself, running faster and ignoring the screams coming from the crowds I’m dispersing.The male voice in my mind is just as strong as the female one, if not stronger. If not louder. He laughs in my mind, taunting me.“You can’t escape me. I know where you are and I’m coming for you.”I run faster. My bulky body keeps ramming down the chairs in the alfresco restaurants. The people try to get off the sidewalks and into the streets, almost getting ran over by the rushing taxis. The chaos is palpable. The panic in my chest is even worse.Still, I push myself to run, navigating the streets. I can see some onlookers trying to take videos of me, but I don't care. I need to go back to Terra Lycaon as fast as possble.My breath is hitching in my throat. I'm not used to this form and how much energy it seems to take just running, and I'm starting to feel exhausted. “I need more energy,” I tell the female voice in my mind. “I need to keep up this form to save myself w

    MONICA.Fear strikes my heart, strong and sharp. The gasp that I was going to let out gets stuck in my mouth. I take a step back, away from Elvira, but I only end up bumping into Andy, who catches me and puts me back in place.I look around, and the place seems to change in real time. The lights become dim. The music becomes slow and distorted. Dust rains from the ceiling, and when I look up, I realize that there hasn't been anyone in this place for a very long time. These people have been stuck here, waiting for me.If I can even call them people.Suddenly I remember what the Creature said when I left Terra Lycaon. Beware of the one who sells flesh. It was warning me about Andy and I was too stupid to see it.This might have been all a trap, and now I have nowhere to go. No way to leave. They’re all closing in on me, smiling as they trap me in the middle of their circle.Elvira’s grip loosens around me, but it’s no use. I still can’t move. Their bodies are pressing on me, keeping me

    ROMAN.Time seems to slow down. I see Cassandra opening her mouth, her teeth inches away from my face. Images of the dead guards and staff flash before my eyes, and I immediately know that that is what’s waiting for me if I don’t do anything now.Face clean. Head nearly unrecognizable. Blood everywhere.I can’t let that happen to me.Cassandra’s mouth draws closer, ready to bite, ready to disfigure me forever. In a split-second, I partially shift into my wolf form to block her blow. My arm shifts, my hand curling into a claw.At the very last millimeter, I deliver a punch on her face, feeling her jaw crack under the pressure. But even that is not enough to discourage her. She growls even more loudly, spraying her sour scent on my face. She goes for another bite, but this time I scratch the side of her cheek She goes for another try, gnashing her teeth at me.This time, I extend my nails as far as they can go and stab the side of her face with it.Blood splatters on my face, warm and s
