The yelling, the voices and the footsteps were everywhere now, close and I heard the voices yelling in English. Javi … he was here, he had to be!! Hashem began to gasp, holding his groin area and stumbling. I ran at him as he was losing his balance and stabbed him in the side of his gut multiple times quickly and he fell back. The gun shots were now outside the door and there were many voices. Someone was pounding on the door, trying to kick it down. I was so woozy and knew the darkness was imminent. “We’ll both die then … you bitch,” he said defiantly, trying to get up.

"I'll find a way." "Big talk for a guy in zip-ties," Andreas retorted. He walked back toward Nikos, his shadow stretching long and dark across the marble. The King reached out, his gloved hand catching Nikos under the chin. He tilted Nikos’s head back, forcing him to meet a gaze that was as vast and unforgiving as a winter sea.

And there, at the base of the Father of Roots, sat the Shadow King. He wasn't on a throne of gold or stone. He sat on a throne of woven shadows, his massive glass blade resting across his knees. He looked more like a statue than a man. The obsidian smoke that made up his skin was swirling slowly, like a storm trapped in a bottle. The outcasts stopped at the edge of the clearing, refusing to go further. Even Leo stayed back, his hand trembling as he gripped his dagger. I walked forward alone. The air in the clearing was freezing, yet it hummed with a violent energy. As I stepped onto the black grass, Kaelen lifted his head.

They dissipated into the air as if they’d never existed. He pinned me to the freezing floor. His heavy knees pressed into my thighs. His hands clamped down on my shoulders. I could smell his burning flesh as his palms blistered against my radiant starlit skin, but the greed in him swallowed every shred of pain. His liquid ruby eyes locked onto the pulsing vein in my neck, right beside Dominic’s permanent mating mark.

“They won’t wait passively.” As if on cue, her phone buzzed again. Unknown number. She answered. A male voice spoke quietly. “You’ve made yourself visible.” “Who is this?” “Someone who prefers discretion.” “Another of the Twelve?” A pause. “Careful,” the voice said. “Not all of us approved of that night.” Fracture confirmed. “Then help dismantle it,” she said.

The baton connected with the back of my neck, hard and final. Pain exploded through me, fast and blinding. My body gave in instantly, strength draining out like it was never mine to begin with. My knees buckled. The wall slipped away. Voices turned distant. Blurred. And just like that... Darkness took over.

He places my boba in my hand and turns back to his friend. "Back off," he tells him, a strange edge to his voice. "What?" Anderson questions, eyes wide. "Back off," he repeats. "You got the reaction you wanted, and it is over now," "She punched me," "You deserved it. Now back the fuck off,"

The crowd growled their approval, a guttural sound of acknowledgment, of acceptance, of witnessing two wolves proving that leadership was not given—it was forged. Leadership required more than blood.
