You never walk out if you enter that trap.
Lucian's angry voice sounded like a snarl; his silver eyes burned into mine. His body tense and his grip on my arm unrelenting.
I pulled free using my arm. And Tessa dies as well should I fail.
His jaws locked. You think Darius would merely let her go? Neither will him. Surely Calla is what he wants. She is merely leveraging her position.
I will then conduct the trade.
His nose flared, his hands tensed at his sides. "OVER My. Dead. Body."
Eli began to move slowly behind Lucian. "We have not much time here. If we are doing something, we should have a scheme.
Lucian stayed still. His eyes locked on me, his expression unreadable.
You are not giving yourself anything. His voice was deadly, yet faint.
You are not able of stopping me.
Something black shone in his eyes. a front-of-reference. A threat.
Then he was on me, very abruptly.
His hand rested on my chin and pointed my face upward to his. His touch was aggressive and possessive. His mouth hung just close by.
"You belong to me, Calla," he continued, voice raw. And I do not let what is mine walk into death.
Heat shot out from my chest. Retaliation. Requirement. Terror.
Come with me then, I whispered silently.
His breath came to a stop.
a drawn-out pause "Damn you," he muttered then crushed his lips to mine.
It wasn't like light. It picked up speed really quickly. The state of affairs was desperate.
His fingers seized in my hair, his body drove me up against the wall. His kiss tagged me, claimed me, was fire. And, knowing this could be the last time, I kissed him back equally.
Then Lucian withdrew, his breathing heavy, just as fast as it started.
"We do this my way," he said, snatching.
I nodded and began to chew deliberately.
Eli couched his mouth to cough. "We ought to then begin to move. At present.
Lucian corrected himself, his face once again incomprehensible.
"Gear up," he issued the instruction. "We walk in ten." .
Silence greeted us when we arrived at the subterranean abode. Not quite quiet.
Lucian and Eli surrounded me as we came in; our feet resonated on the stone floor. Along with damp earth, the air smelled of something darker—blood.
Fluttering torchlight illuminated the middle of the cave.
And she was there as well.
Tensus.
limitations. fractured. Her hazel eyes open in terror.
Lucian rummled in his chest, a deep growl. "d Darius."
From the gloom, a steady clap rang out.
Then he moved into the light.
volk Long is Darius. inclined. Like death, pallid. He spread his arms and laughter glistened in his golden eyes.
With a drawl, "Lucian," he said. "You came."
Lucian tensed his body at my side. Allow Her. Look.
Darius groaned. Thus consistent. He fixed me with a slow, deliberate stare. Then you have to be Calla. The tiny mystery with red hair.
I inhaled hard and pushed my voice steady. "you have me." Let her go.
Darius bent his head down. "Uh-uh. captivating. Nevertheless... He proceeded ahead. "I would much prefer keep you both."
Lucian moved before the blink time allowed.
Second he was right close to me. Then Darius was shoved into the tunnel wall, his claws jabbing into his throat.
Lucian shouted, "bad choice."
Darius displayed no flinch. He still laughed, though.
"Did you honestly think it would be that easy?"
Then discord erupted.
Figures tore out of the shadows. Many more than that as well. Wolfines, rues. Darius's military force.
Eli swore and transformed mid-air; his sandy-brown wolf dropped in a squat.
Darius scarcely had time to react before he broke free and smashed a knee at Lucian's ribs.
Then I felt myself pulled backwards.
Oh, oh, oh—a lovely voice begging.
Her icy blue eyes shone with laughter as Isolde Renfield came up to me. I cried.
" You thought Darius was working alone, did you?"
I tried, but her hold was iron.
The cavern shook with Lucian's scream.
"allow her to go!"
Isolde merely smiled. "I question so." She bent forward, her breath icy against my ear. Calla, you carry something I need. And I meant to grab it.
One painful shot went through me.
I gasped, then gripped my chest.
Something didn't seem correct.
My view started to blur. My body rocked.
My blood started to flow across the cavern floor then.
She solde had covered fingers in it.
"Your blood is the key," she told me.
Lucian had enraged flaming silver eyes.
Then a shriek tore across the atmosphere.
Not what Lucian had in mind.
The Rowans.
The cavern explode into mayhem.
Lucian aimed for Isolde, but she vanished into the night bearing me with her.
Lucian's enraged gaze were my last sight before oblivion engulfed me completely. "Your never walk out if you enter that trap."
Lucian's angry voice sounded like a snarl; his silver eyes burned into mine. His body tense and his grip on my arm unrelenting.
