로그인POV: KILLIAN BLACKWOOD
The roar with which I leaped from the underbrush seemed to tear the night apart.My body wasn't responding to human reason; it was moving purely on Fenris's destructive thirst. I shattered the air between the trees and slammed full force into Silas's first executioner before the subject could even raise the barrel of his tactical rifle.I drove my claws into his throat and ripped it out in a single lateral swipe.The warm blood of theThe Eclipse Alpha held a heavy tactical pistol in his right hand and a silver dart launcher in his left.“I told you that you had nowhere to go, little she-wolf,” Silas said, tilting his head with a bloodthirsty smile. “The Hybrid already signed the surrender of his empire for you. Now you belong to me.”“Don't touch me...” Ivy groaned, trying to press her back against the stone wall, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Don't come near my child!”“That child is the seed of my worst enemy,” Silas answered, raising the dart launcher and aligning the green laser sight directly over Ivy's abdomen. “And the blood from her uterus will be the sealer of my political victory.”Ivy closed her eyes and released a muffled cry, awaiting the impact of the silver projectile.At that precise instant, the fog in my brain vanished completely. The weakness of the poison, the blood loss, and the neck hallucinations dissolved before the imminent threat to my ne
POV: KILLIAN BLACKWOODThe roar with which I leaped from the underbrush seemed to tear the night apart.My body wasn't responding to human reason; it was moving purely on Fenris's destructive thirst. I shattered the air between the trees and slammed full force into Silas's first executioner before the subject could even raise the barrel of his tactical rifle.I drove my claws into his throat and ripped it out in a single lateral swipe.The warm blood of the first kill splattered across the chest of my bare torso. The man didn't even manage to emit a groan as his body collapsed limp onto the wet leaf litter.“ALPHA IN THE PERIMETER!!” shouted the second guard, trying to spin on his heels with his sidearm in hand.Caleb burst out from behind me in the bushes. Despite his knee's broken splint and the pain forcing him to limp grotesquely, he launched himself like a catch-dog at the shooter's legs. He brought him down hard onto the mu
Anastasia backed away in giant steps toward the balcony door, her face white as paper.“You are crazy!” the Volkov woman shrieked, pulling a slender dagger from her coat. “If you touch me, the Northern Council will burn this entire hospital!”“I don't give a fuck about your Council!” Leyla roared, leaping over the leather sofa and landing right in front of her.Anastasia lunged with the dagger, aiming for Leyla's throat.Leyla dodged the blade by millimeters, caught the Volkov woman's wrist, and squeezed her bones with such force that the metallic dagger fell, bouncing off the marble floor.“Let go of me, trash!” Anastasia screamed, trying to strike her face with her free hand.Leyla crossed her face with a sharp punch that split the aristocrat's lip open.Before Anastasia could recover from the impact, Leyla grabbed her by her black hair, twisted her body with rage, and slammed her brutally against the marble floor.
POV: THIRD PERSON Caleb's agonizing howl continued echoing through the air ducts as Leyla advanced in quick steps down the third-floor corridor.She stopped in front of the reception's large window, with white knuckles and heavy breath. The crunch of the invisible mark on her neck kept sending shoots of pain straight to her temples, but she clenched her teeth and contained the nausea.“Leyla!” Sarah's voice cut through the whistle of the air conditioning.The doctor came out of the nursing station holding a black leather folder and a biometric scanner. She had messy brown hair and bloodshot eyes.“I heard Caleb's scream from the operating room,” Sarah said, catching up to her in the hallway. “What the fuck happened in there?”“I broke the bond,” Leyla answered without looking at her, her voice hard as stone. “That bastard preferred to sell Ivy to the Council to buy my mark. I don't want to hear his fucking voice ever again in my
I heard the rustle of her heavy skirt against the floor as she bent over me. She extended a wrinkled, bony hand to search for the pulse in my neck. “Open your mouth, let me see your blood...” I didn't let her finish. With my left hand, I grabbed the leg of the small side table with force, and in a single explosive movement, I pushed myself upward. My right hand had already located the solid wood picture frame resting on the shelf. I smashed it with all the force of my arm against the side of her head. The impact sounded sharp, like a thick branch snapping. The oak frame splintered as it struck her temple. Nathalia released a muffled shriek, staggering backward as blood gushed from her gray hair. “You goddamn bitch!” she shrieked, trying to swipe blindly. I delivered a violent shove to her chest. The old woman fell backward against the table, knocking the steaming clay container o
"Open this goddamn door, Nathalia!” I pounded on the thick wood until my knuckles burned.No one answered from the other side of the hallway. My breath came in harsh gasps, tearing at my throat. I felt the walls of the room swaying. The dark floorboards seemed to give way beneath my bare feet, as if the very earth were crumbling.“Liana... wake up,” I whispered, pressing my fist against my chest. “I need you to wake up now.”A freezing pull tangled in my entrails. The acrid liquid Nathalia had forced me to swallow minutes ago was no simple sedative. It burned from within, numbing the bond with my she-wolf. Liana scratched at the back of my mind, trapped behind a wall of heavy fog, emitting muffled groans that twisted my belly.I stumbled toward the window. The wooden frame was nailed shut from the outside with cross slats. Through the cracks, the night blizzard whistled with the violence of a thousand ice daggers. The cold seeping through the crevices froze the sweat on my forehead, b
