My heart was pounding erratically. I could feel the heat radiating from Lucian, and I knew he was strong enough to overpower me, but I wasn't going to make it easy for him."Is this the kind of male you are, Lucian? Have you forgotten the years we worked together in the trackers' department? In the army? Would you really stoop to such terrible practices?" I said, and I saw his expression change drastically. "Would you hurt me like this?"Lucian looked away, and I realized that my words had gotten to him."How can you ask me who I am when the only thing I've shown you is care, and you respond with nothing but cruelty?" he shot back, turning his gaze toward me again.Bastard... He had kidnapped me, and he was angry because I was being rude?"How am I supposed to respond to someone who takes away my freedom?""You can respond to me the way you responded to Marius," he retorted, and I saw a primitive jealousy flicker in his eyes. "He kidnapped you, and even so, you take me for a cruel lun

My body moved like never before. I felt my mind merging with Selene's, felt her bloodlust and violence radiating through every inch of my body.Long, sharp teeth, strength surging through me...I felt the grass beneath my paws as I charged forward, my eyes fixed on the alpha male who wanted to dominate me.Lucian, in his black wolf form, crashed into several wolves trying to overpower him, his teeth tearing into parts of their bodies.His strength drove several of them back, but they continued to resist and surround him...I charged forward, managing to bite one of the wolves that lunged at me, feeling the wolf's blood in my mouth.While all I could see was blood and violence, Selene's thoughts were completely chaotic, and all I could see was the desire to kill. I managed to bring down the first wolf and run toward Lucian, who had already taken down several, but they kept insisting on getting back up, and I could see that Lucian was aiming his attacks at killing them quickly.However,

POV MARIUSHow many hours had passed in that damned place? The sky was still dark, giving no indication of the passage of time, the dirt road surrounded by trees with dark foliage... And Gaius's footsteps beside me.His steps were slow, and the male walked with his gaze fixed on the ground.I knew he wanted to say something, but my heart was completely restless. If I was right—and I had to be—this god Gunnar would free me from the world of the dead.Somehow, I would return to Jane.When I thought of the female and her wild, dark eyes, my heart, even though it was dead, clenched.It was strange how even in death I could suffer and feel pain.Her scent appeared in my mind, so vivid that I could have sworn she was standing beside me, the touch of her skin... soft.Then my memories returned to my last night alive.And to the baby I had lost, to the disappointment filling my female's eyes.Was my fate in life to make her suffer forever?"Marius..." Gaius's voice pulled me from my thoughts.

His eyes gleamed with that deep jasper that made my heart beat faster and faster.But his words cut deeply because I could feel Marius's sadness through them.I could see how heavy his gaze was, as though he carried an entire world of torment inside him, and I wanted to ask him where he had gone when he died, but part of me did not want to know.I did not want to transport him back to such a place again, even if it was only through his thoughts.I cupped his face in my hands and looked into his eyes."Hatе him? How could I hate the one who holds my heart? How could I hate you, Marius? Am I the fool here? I have no choice when it comes to this love."Marius swallowed hard and opened his mouth to speak, but before the words could leave his lips, a male voice rang out through the darkness of the clearing."What the hell am I seeing? Marius?" Lucian said, and I immediately turned my gaze toward the male.He was wearing old clothes, and there were cuts across his face that were already hea

LUCIAN'S POVMy entire body ached...My throat felt dry as voices blended together.Slowly, I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt so heavy...Until something cold and damp touched my forehead.My vision was limited as I managed to open one eye.The first face I saw was Jane's.Dark eyes stared at me... while her hands rested on my forehead."You woke up! God... you're awake!" Her voice sounded loud and relieved.The female suddenly threw herself into my arms, and her weight made me groan in pain."Oh... Lucian, you're still in pain, aren't you?" Jane asked, and I sat up, looking around.I was in a small room with pale stone walls.There was little furniture, a small TV mounted on the wall tuned to a news broadcast showing images of burning houses.When I tried to settle myself on the single bed, I felt as though my ribs were being torn apart."You've been asleep for many hours." Marius's voice drew my attention to a corner beside the wooden door.I must have been in a hotel roo
