MATED TO MY BROTHER'S ENEMY
Honestly, they’ve yanked Marcus out of some real disasters before, but nothing this bonkers.
Lucas is just about to sprint for Marcus when, oh, fantastic, a new voice rips through the noise. Lord Roderick Blackfang, angry as a kicked bear, screaming bloody murder that his fancy ritual’s gone south.
“Kill them all!” he bellows, swinging that axe like he’s auditioning for the world’s angriest lumberjack. “Every last one, no mercy for anyone in my way or my bride’s!”
So, yeah, the stakes just went through the roof. Now it’s not just corrupt guards and black magic, they’ve got a legendary psycho with an axe and zero chill. Rescue just got about ten times hairier.
