SerenTime didn't just slow down. It shattered. Lucian's body jerked as the silver blade drove through him, and then he was falling like a tree cut at the base. The thud of him hitting the ground seemed to echo forever. "Lucian!" The scream tore out of me, raw and jagged, shredding my throat on the way up.Alexis, that strong, sassy warrior who hadn't broken even after weeks of torture in the cells, made a sound I'd never heard before. It wasn't a warrior's cry. It was devastation. Large, gut-wrenching sobs that stabbed straight to the heart.I didn't think. I moved. Enemies still circled him, weapons and claws raised and ready.
