POV: KILLIAN BLACKWOOD**The second hand of the law faculty wall clock moved with a slowness that was becoming unbearable to me.I had a black ink pen between the fingers of my right hand, but I hadn't marked a single line of the code in my hand.My mind was not in the classroom, nor at the university. My mind was trapped in the east wing of my mansion, fixed on the motionless body of Ivy Sterling.Nearly four days had passed where the smell of her blood and the sound of her skull hitting the marble repeated in my head like an eternal curse.It had been my fault. My own energy, unleashed by the fury of Mark's betrayal, had thrown her against the marble as if she were a feather. I hated myself for it. My Lycan, Fenris, was curled up at the base of my mind, releasing mournful whimpers that drilled into my nerves.I dropped the pen onto the noble wood desk, opening and closing my fist violently.I had the mobile phone right next to my left hand, but I refused to touch it.I had a goddam

POV: ANASTASIA VOLKOVKillian Blackwood's words drove directly into my chest like a rusted silver dagger, provoking a sharp pain that tried to make me step back.However, I did not yield a single millimeter. I was not a weak female from the southern packs who bowed before the roar of a mafia Alpha.I had heard the stories about the Hybrid, the fearsome Alpha and mafia CEO who ruled the north with an iron hand and a coldness that terrified the Alphas of neighboring packs.I knew that a man like him, accustomed to twisting the laws at his whim, would try to fight against the Goddess's design.But I was no ordinary Lycan from the lot; I was a Volkov, and my blood was as ancient and pure as his, and I wasn't going to let him discard me for some goddamn Omega bitch.I parted my lips to reply, feeling rage and humiliation mix in my eyes.But in the middle of my reply, I forced my body to react; my shoulders trembled in a subtle way and tears, perfectly calculated but loaded with a real pain

“I already called him, Ivy! I sent him three red alerts through the mind link and dialed his number, but his phone isn't answering and Caleb isn't either!” Sarah hit the nightstand with frustration, her own eyes bloodshot from the tension. “Neither of them is showing up!”“Look for him again!” I shouted, my body trembling so violently that my teeth chattered despite the scorching heat I felt inside. “Look for him now, Sarah! If he doesn't come... my pup is going to die and so am I! Look for him, goddamn it!”Sarah nodded desperately, realizing that human medicine was not going to be enough if my she-wolf didn't find her Alpha's anchor.“I'm not sure what is happening,” Sarah admitted, her voice trembling as she prepared a syringe with a translucent liquid. “I have never before seen this type of reaction in a pregnancy.”Quickly she patted my thigh and with a skillful movement plunged the needle into my thigh, spreading the liquid inside my body.“It's a sedative, Ivy… it will stabiliz

POV: KILLIAN BLACKWOODI did not stop to get into my vehicle; the idea of being locked inside a metal box while Ivy's body collapsed was unbearable to me. I had stripped off my tailored suit at the edge of the university campus, letting the civilian clothes tear under the pressure of the transformation. I let my Hybrid out, feeling the crunch of my bones lengthening and the transformation of my Hybrid musculature last barely a second.My huge beast, a mass of dark fur, exposed fangs, and muscles modified by the serum, stood on its two hind paws, defying gravity and the anatomy of ordinary wolves.I leaped into the thickest part of the forest, my claws tearing the tree trunks with every impulse. I ran upright, on two paws, devouring the distance between the campus and the mansion with a speed that defied the physical laws of gravity.“Ivy! Open the goddamn link, Ivy!” I shouted mentally, trying to force the connection of the mark that united our souls.But the channel was blocked, su

My military boots clattered against the ground-floor tiles while my trembling hands gripped the wooden railing.I paced in circles around the large mahogany table for nearly twenty whole minutes, feeling as if every passing second were an axe blow against Ivy's life.The air in the mansion seemed to have turned dense, heavy with the furious static that Killian was giving off from upstairs.Finally, Logan's hurried footsteps broke the silence. The guard entered panting, holding a steel tray between his hands.“Doctor Sarah! We have them!”I lunged at him, snatching the tray away with a rough movement.But as soon as my eyes landed on the pre-filled syringes he brought, I felt the ground open beneath my feet.My stomach contracted with a violence that almost made me fall face forward against the carpet.“Goddamn it... Goddamn it a thousand times!” I muttered between my teeth, clenching my fists until my nails hurt my palms.This couldn't be happening. It had to be a goddamn joke from th
