{Lyra}

“No. Absolutely not,” I said, stepping in front of Eliza so fast I nearly tripped over the rug. “You are not going out there.”

My mom—my actual, flesh-and-blood mother, who I had just gotten back after years of believing she was dead—stood inches from the door, her hand already on the knob.

“I mean it, mom.” My voice cracked, embarrassingly so, but I didn’t care. “I just got you back. You think I’m about to let you go out there and lose you again? Over my dead body.”

Her brows softened, but she didn’t move. She opened her mouth to speak—then a voice slithered through the walls like smoke.

“I can smell you all in there…” it hissed. “When I’m done with her, I’ll kill the rest of you, one by one. Starting with the boy”

My stomach dropped and a chill ran down my spine.

That voice. That infuriatingly smug, corrupted, and deadpan tone—I’d know it anywhere.

“Varen,” I breathed, while my heart drummed frantically in my chest. “H-How the hell did he find us?”

“I don’t know,” Eliza murm

    {Lyra}“What do you mean I’m the key to winning the war?” I stared at Dominic, my voice sounding as confused as I felt.Dominic didn’t answer. He just glanced toward the man in the smoke-shifting robes.“If I may?” Allen stepped forward, his voice smooth and gravelly at the same time. He adjusted his tiny spectacles and gave me a small nod, then glanced toward a large, moss-colored book floating in midair behind him. “This will require a bit of storytelling, I’m afraid.”“Go ahead,” I said, crossing my arms.Allen’s mouth twitched, then he walked in a slow circle around us, his raven still perched like a crown on his shoulder. “A few weeks ago, Dominic and one of his Deltas stumbled across an abandoned cemetery just outside the old territories. Nothing but ruins, overgrown stone, and a dangerous creature of corruption, much like the one Varen is using to terrorize the town. But buried in one of the graves was a skeleton engraved with gold.”“Creepy,” Odessa muttered beside me.“Oh,

    {Dominic}The tires crunched against the gravel as I pulled the SUV to a halt at the edge of the woods, not far from the edge of Crownshaven. The engine hummed softly before dying out, and the forest in front of us looked harmless, with filtered sunlight glinting through the canopy and birds chirping above.Lyra was curled in the passenger seat with her legs tucked up and hoodie sleeves over her hands, glanced sideways at me. “Why are we stopping here?” she asked, brows knitting.“You’ll see soon enough.” I shot her a faint smirk, then pushed the door open. “Everyone out.”Behind me, doors opened and slammed gently shut as Odessa, Isaac, and Lyra followed. Boots hit gravel and soft grass behind me. Isaac landed with a thud. Odessa stretched with a groan. Lyra wrapped her arms around herself, clearly not a fan of surprises, and followed close behind me as I led them into the woods.The trail was faint, but I knew it by heart. “Where are we going?” Odessa asked, hugging her hoodie tig

    {Dominic}I barely noticed Reina slip through the front door.“Ryker!” I barked, already charging through the hallway like a man on fire.He didn’t respond, and so I followed the scent of wind and steel up the stairs, two steps at a time, until I reached the terrace and shoved open the door.Ryker stood at the edge, arms crossed over his chest, wind tugging at his hair. His face was tight, mouth drawn in a grim line. He didn’t glance back when I stepped out.“What is it?” I asked, heartbeat already doing double time.He lifted a single finger and pointed outward. “Look.”I followed the direction of his hand and my stomach dropped. Down below, Crownshaven had turned into a waking nightmare.Smoke curled into the sky, flames licked the tops of buildings, people screamed and scattered like terrified birds as dozens of corrupted creatures crept along the streets. Twisted limbs, glowing eyes, and black-veined faces moved in a wave like a small army.A tight breath slipped past my teeth. “N

    {Lyra}The second Dominic's lips touched mine, I exploded.Not literally, thank the Goddess—but something deep in my chest definitely did. It felt like every ounce of confusion, fear, and grief cracked open all at once, and out bloomed this wild, urgent need to pull him closer. My entire being leaned into him, my fingers twisting into the collar of his ruined shirt like I never wanted to let go. I felt my wolf rise with a deep, hungry growl, one that vibrated in my bones and begged me to claim him.My lips parted on instinct, and suddenly, the world went hazy around the edges. His body heat soaked into mine, his hand cradling the back of my head like I was the only fragile thing he’d ever handle with care.My magic hummed, a green glow curling in the corners of my vision, and Dominic’s eyes lit up gold like sunrise breaking over shadow.And then I knew… our mate bond was finally igniting. His mouth tore from mine like he’d just remembered how to breathe. He looked wrecked. Handsomel

    {Dominic}“Who's they?” Odessa asked, her eyes darting between Dahlia and I, filled with unease. I glanced over at her, “Corrupted creatures,” I said. “They’re not human, and all they do is hunt and destroy whatever’s in front of them.” “Like the one that attacked Lyra and I back at the asylum.” Odessa’s eyes widened in realization. “Exactly. But judging from the intensity of the smell, I would say these ones are way worse.”We all shared a look, and when Odessa saw my eyes, she began shaking her head. She obviously knew what I was about to say before I even said it.“I have to go out there.”“No,” Odessa said instantly, her voice sharp like cracked glass. “We’re not doing that. We just got you back, Dominic. You—this is a terrible plan.”I took in a breath and stepped forward, “I’m not going to sit here and wait to be cornered. We need a way out, and someone needs to draw that thing away from the exit.”“You’re not seriously thinking—” Dahlia started, but Odessa cut her off.“No.
