Lucian's POV continued The screen goes black.For one brief second, absolutely nobody moves.Then chaos detonates.People are shouting.Guards are moving.Someone screams.Somebody throws a chair.The palace explodes into panic.And all I can think is one thing.*He's going to kill her.*The thought repeats.Relentless.Endlessly.*He's going to kill her.*My vision tunnels.Narrows.Darkens.Everything else disappears.Grief.Funerals.Politics.Phantom.Gone.Nothing exists except getting to her.Then—Pain explodes across my jaw.The world snaps back into focus.I stagger.Blink.Taste blood.Israfil stands directly in front of me."What the hell—""Snap out of it!"The prince's voice booms across the chaos."WE ARE GOING TO SAVE HER."The words slam into me.I inhale sharply.Once.Twice.The fractured pieces of my mind begin clicking back into place.Strategy.Resources.Intelligence.Action.I rub my jaw.Cough once.Force myself to focus."Thanks."My voice sounds rough.Forei

Lucian’s POV She nestles against me, our legs tangled beneath the covers, her presence as natural and necessary as breathing.A white tank clings to her, barely concealing the graceful curve of her back. Her shorts ride high on her hips, leaving long, sun-kissed legs tangled with mine beneath the sheets.Dark hair spills across the pillow, damp strands catching the faint glow from the bedside lamp.She looks unreal.Like a dream too beautiful to survive daylight.My Maryelle.My breathtaking Diyosa.Her brown eyes search mine as though I'm something precious.Something worth keeping."I'm so lucky," she murmurs, her lips brushing my chin. "I found real love in this lifetime."She tries to suppress her smile.Fails spectacularly.Light pours through her anyway.I brush a strand of hair from her face."I think I'm the lucky one."My thumb lingers against her cheek."And I could give you a thousand reasons why."She leans closer.Forehead against mine.Breath mingling with mine.Then sh

The lab looms ahead like a monument to human cruelty.Steel-reinforced walls rise from the earth.Scarred.Twisted.Wrong.Deep gouges claw across the metal exterior.Something tried to escape this place.And failed.A flickering fluorescent light hangs above the entrance, casting sickly shadows across reinforced glass streaked with stains too old to be fresh.The smell reaches us first.Antiseptic.Bleach.Rot.Chemical decay.The scent has been scrubbed and sterilized so many times it feels embedded in the walls themselves.Like death wearing perfume.The floor vibrates beneath our boots.A low mechanical hum.Steady.Unnatural.The building feels alive.Watching.Listening.Remembering.This isn't a laboratory.It's a tomb dressed in stainless steel.Then another scent slams into me.Maryelle.Her blood.The smell crashes into my lungs.Violent.Immediate.She's here.Alive.She has to be.Canum wouldn't—"Ah." Canum's voice echoes through the facility. "So the boys finally showed

The sensation is impossible to describe.It's like being ripped apart atom by atom.Like falling upward.Like being thrown through the center of a star.Light floods my skull.My bones vibrate.My stomach vanishes.For one endless second, I exist nowhere.Then—Salt.Wind.Sunlight.I gasp.When I open my eyes, I'm lying on a beach.A beautiful one.Painfully beautiful.The sky is impossibly blue.The water shines like molten sapphire.The horizon looks painted.Wrong.Perfect.Too perfect.Something crunches beneath my hand.I glance down.Plastic pellets.Not sand.Not even close.Wrong.Completely wrong.I wiggle my fingers.Then my toes.Movement.Actual movement."Paralytic was replaced with saline." Joaquin crouches nearby. "You should be mobile."I stare at him.Then at Kat.Then back at him."You saved me..." My voice cracks. "For a favor?"Kat hands me a bottle of water. "I'm collecting allies."I drink greedily. "For what?"Her expression darkens."To remove Defetrius.""You
