{Lyra}

We waited until the sky had darkened and traces of the moon had begun to show. The streets of Crownshaven had quieted, and the darkness made it perfect for what we were about to do.

Reina tightened the strap on her boot, her eyes focused on the task ahead.

“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” I asked.

“Born ready.”

Ryker smirked beside her and tugged her close by the waist. “Then kiss me for luck.”

She rolled her eyes, but only half-heartedly, before she leaned in and gave him a kiss that made me politely avert my gaze. A few seconds later, she pulled away, whispered something in his ear that made him grin, and then turned and slipped into the night.

Ryker exhaled slowly. “Let’s hope that firecracker doesn’t burn the whole city down.”

“Wouldn’t put it past her,” I muttered.

We crept closer to the edge of the street where my mansion sat, looking like a fortress than a home. Varen had taken it over completely; guards patrolled every corner, talking amongst themselves but still

    {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.

    {Lyra}“And I suppose I’m just meant to… trust you now? After everything you’ve done?”My fingers hadn’t stopped trembling since I shattered that orb, and it felt like my heart was playing hopscotch in my chest.Alissa gave an exaggerated sigh. “Trust? Oh, sweetheart. You think I need your trust? What I need is for you to not die in the next twenty-four hours.”“Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence,” I muttered, pressing a hand to my still-thudding heart. “So what—you’ll just tutor me?”“That would take weeks,” she said dismissively. “We don’t have weeks, we barely have minutes. No, we need something faster… deeper.”I turned around slowly, arms folded across my chest. “Define deeper.”“I’ll put you in a limbo state,” she said smoothly. “A kind of suspended consciousness. There, I can unlock your ancestral memories. You’ll receive the Mark of the Pure Blood. It’ll grant you access to the witches before you.”“And… this is safe?” I asked, eyes narrowing.She snorted. “No. But neither
