Lucas was coming at me, all snarls and fists, a mad dog let off his chain.
I didn't give a damn about him or his bruised ego. Leila was somewhere in this crumbling heap of a building, surrounded by bombs, and every second I wasted on this bastard was a second she might not have.
His arm swung wide, aiming for my jaw. I caught it mid-air, twisted it hard, and threw him over my shoulder like a sack of grain. He hit the ground with a grunt, dust kicking up around him, but I didn't stick around to watch him squirm. I bolted for the entrance, the darkness swallowing me whole as I crossed the threshold.
Cassius' voice chased me, sharp and panicked. "Are you crazy?! There are bombs everywhere! You step on one, you're dead!"
Zion's shout followed, thinner, desperate. "The bombs buried on each floor are marked in red! Be careful!"
I didn't turn back. I couldn't afford to waste a second. Leila was on the tenth floor, and I'd claw my way through

LeilaThe floor beneath my feet trembled. A faint shiver at first, like a whisper of something wrong, then a roar that clawed up through the soles of my boots. Lucas and Darren grabbed my arms, their fingers digging into my flesh - Lucas's grip iron, Darren's desperate. We ran. The stairs buckled under us, steps cracking like dry bones, splintering into dust. A monstrous rumble chased me, a sound so deep it rattled my teeth.I didn't look back. Couldn't. Fear stitched my eyes forward, my breath ragged in my throat.They dragged me out as the building gave up its ghost. The crash was deafening - stone and steel screaming as they collapsed into a heap of ruin. Dust exploded around us, a choking fog that clawed at my lungs. I coughed, doubled over, hands braced on my knees. My chest burned.Before I could steady myself, Lucas' arm hooked around my waist, hard and possessive, and he threw me into the car. My body hit the seat with a thud. The leather smelled

DarrenI slouched in the passenger seat, staring through the tinted window at the skeletal remains of Nulford City's Sullepoint Avenue project house. The night swallowed it whole, leaving beams and crumbling concrete to claw at the sky. This place was a festering wound - abandoned by one bankrupt fool, then another, passed around a dozen times like a cheap whore no one could afford to keep. A mess too tangled to fix, it suited filth like Zion perfectly.Cassius' fingers tightened on the wheel, his voice a low growl. "That coward Zion actually dared to stand us up?! He's really asking for it!"I squinted into the dark, the emptiness pressing against my skull. I shook my head. Zion was a rat - squeaking, scurrying, but toothless unless you let him bite.Cassius shot me a glance, his eyes glinting like wet blades. "Could he have left without us?"I shook my head, slow and deliberate. "He doesn't have the guts." The silence stretched, thick and suffocating, until the faint rumble of an en

LeilaThe car growled to a stop outside my house, its engine a guttural hum that vibrated through the leather seats. Darren slumped against the door, his fingers laced with mine, clinging like he could tether me to him forever. My chest tightened as I stared at the shadowed outline of my house beyond the tinted window. This was the scene I'd clawed from my dreams - a perfect date, a beautiful man delivering me home, my pulse hammering with the weight of what might come next.Would he kiss me goodbye? The question gnawed at me, feral and insistent.In my previous life, Lucas never bothered driving me home. Even when he did, it was mechanical - no spark, no hunger. His lips never sought mine at the end of a night.But Darren, my shadowed savior, my sweet, jagged knight - he was different. Every glance from him was a live wire, every touch a promise."Come home with me, Leila," he murmured, voice low and syrupy, coiling around my ribs. "Let's leave this place together now." His grip tigh

Leila's POVI pressed my cheek against the cold car window, staring at the blurred outline of my face in the tinted glass. The dress Lucas had forced me into earlier that evening cinched too tight at the waist, a gilded cage for a bird already half-dead. The night outside swallowed the world, leaving only the hum of the engine and the weight of two men I barely trusted."Where are we going?" Cassius snapped, his voice a blade slicing through the silence. His eyes, sharp and unyielding, caught Darren's in the rearview mirror."Let me take you home," Darren said, and before I could blink, he shifted, his body pressing into mine. My heart slammed against my ribs, a frantic, caged thing. What was he doing? I braced myself, expecting something raw, something violent - but then his hands found the seatbelt. The buckle clicked, a metallic snap that echoed in my skull. He pulled back, that damned mischievous smile curling his lips, the one that made me want to slap him and kiss him in equal m

LeilaI tilted my head toward the voice that cut through the murmur in the crowd, sharp as a blade through flesh. An old man shuffled in, his dark brown suit hanging loose on a frame that once held power. Tall, burly soldiers flanked him, their eyes hard and unyielding. I knew him at once - the old gardener, his gnarled hands and stooped back a fixture in my memory. But then it hit me, a fist to the gut: that familiarity wasn't just habit. It was..."Alpha Basil from Night Growler Pack!" a soldier bellowed, his voice a hammer against the silence.From the corner of my eye, I caught the manager - some puffed-up fool who'd sneered at the gardener not ten minutes before - crumple. His knees hit the floor, a trembling mess of sweat and fear. I almost laughed. Almost.Alpha Basil stood there, the most respected general the Kingdom ever birthed. The Night Growlers, his pack, were legends - elite, brutal, the kind of wolves who'd rip your throat out and call it mercy. My father had adored hi
