My throat still burned from where his hand had been, and I could feel my pulse in my ears as my eyes shot instinctively to Lazarus. I shouldn't have looked at him. It probably looked guilty as hell. But there were too many things tangled up in this mess, too many truths stacked on top of one another, and no way to separate them without everything collapsing. There was the obvious stuff. Mystic Mountain. Opal. Nigel Senior. Noah. And then there was the stuff nobody here could know yet. Velma being Lazarus's mate. The curse. And most of all, the body swap.

The Lighten coughs in blood trying to resist from the five beings. “This is hilarious! He really thinks he can still live after this.” Matteo grab the Lighten’s head and let him see the battlefield. “See?” The southern borders is covered with blood and corpses of the defeated battalion. The sand is all red, dark, and stinky. The battle has almost ended and the sight has brought pleasure to the victorious squad. “See?’’ “c-Cr-cro-crossbr-…crossbreeds…I-“ Matteo strikes him to death with his sharp stone mold. “That ends it here.”, Matteo satisfyingly said while looking at the dead Lighten.

She leads me away, positioning herself between me and the fight. But I can't tear my eyes away. Mikhail dodges another swipe from the switchblade, retaliating with a swift kick to the man's midsection. The man doubles over but remains standing. With a lightning-quick twist of the arm, Mikhail snatches the switchblade from his grasp. The man's eyes widen in shock as Mikhail plunges the blade into his chest, just below the collarbone.

Blood darkens his fur. He doesn’t make a sound. The cut doesn’t slow him. I duck under a snapping jaw and roll, coming up on one knee with my second blade already up. I strike again. Deeper. Cleaner.

"This is a court-issued writ of execution. And this one is a Red Notice issued by Interpol." He pointed at Leo. "You're suspected of large-scale smuggling, embezzlement, and money laundering.
