CHAPTER 61

The chamber smelled of fire, iron, and something older—ancient, predatory, impossible to name. Lyra’s heart hammered in her chest, echoing in the veins of the Veil itself. Every pulse of her magic seemed magnified, amplified by the predator outside, by the shadows creeping along the walls, and by the bond between her and Rylan—burning, raw, too much, yet not enough.Rylan’s arms wrapped around her, his wolf energy radiating in a golden aura that lit the room like molten sunlight. Yet even that radiance seemed small against the encroaching darkness.“Kade,” Rylan growled, voice dripping venom. “Step back. Now.”The king’s jaw tightened. His pride, his jealousy, his obsession with Lyra’s Veil power all warred inside him. “Step back?” he spat, voice low, dangerous. “Do you think I’ll stand aside while you… own her? You’ve done nothing but protect her because you’re weak. Because you cannot handle her power. I—”“I handle her, Kade!” Rylan snapped, eyes flaring gold. “Not the Veil! She ch
