---- What if her dad was listening to this mental conversation?! "Don''t worry. He''s talking to your brother," Sigrid reassured her. "Now tell me the truth, pup-why were you so upset?" It was time to talk, and Nyx lowered her head, beginning to confess. Behind them, Drakkar''s body floated through the shadows, with Ss keeping guard. "Laziel, close that massive portal and let your sister Lyra know to bring everyone," the Specter King instructed his son.


    "When I summon you, open the portal from your side. I''ll wait until ''''m ina safe location." "Yes, Dad," Laziel responded calmly through theyers of vortex and teleportation magic. He had already stolen the specter he wanted into his inner world. He nced at Lavinia beside him, fully focused on her task; his golden eyes lit up with love. Their souls were deeply entwined. "My beloved Lavinia, I can''t wait until we''re alone in our world...


    so I can devour youpletely." ---- sobs "Don''t let him get away!" Cedrick roared, getting used to running in this spectacr new body. Faster, stronger, more agile-better hearing, vision, smell... everything! There was no way those lions and their ragtag army could escape back to their pce. Tonight, they were determined to cleanse the crown of the beast men. "Take down those rebels!" Aldric shouted, fired up.


    No one had dared rebel against the crown in his realm for a long time, and honestly, he was getting bored. "Dad, leave some for the rest of us!" Fenrir growled at him, seeing how excited he was. "If you''re gonna cry like a baby, go back to your mother!" Aldric crushed his spirit mercilessly over their shared bond. Laughter erupted instantly. "Daaad! Damn it!" Fenrir groaned. Magnun shaking his head as he listened to his twin''s protests.


    ---- ''They were like drops of water physically, but once Fenrir opened his mouth, the difference was clear. Powerful shadows raced forward, shaking the ground and making the wild animals flee. There was nowhere to hide. seek Another one who didn''t get far was the vampire trying to escape. He felt someone chasing him, and in a distant clearing among tall, thick trees, something grabbed his ankle from the ground and wouldn''t let go. "Ah, damn it!" BAM!


    He hit the grass hard, kicking at whatever had caught him. He could feel things digging under his body. Suddenly, a silhouette emerged from the darkness. It looked like a woman. She wore a dark dress and a ck veil over her face. But her long brown hair shimmered through the shadows, and a pair of red pupils watched him from the dark. ---- The scent of her blood hit the vampire straight on, and his eyes widened in disbelief. "Victoria!


    Did you follow us all the way to this realm, you damn traitor?!" he roared, half-panicked and half-furious. He tried to flee, summon mist, flow with the night... but he was too weak. ''The supposed Victoria didn''t speak, but a man with shoulder- length ck hair stepped out behind her. His ruby eyes looked like those of a cold-blooded killer-and that''s exactly what he was.


    "''$o my trap worked," Zarek walked slowly toward the prey, who looked like he was about to wet himself from the weight of his aura. "You know my daughter... and right now, you''re going to tell me where Victoria is."
