    Drevana had said that if we didn’t kill Lucien, then he would kills and after seeing those pure red eyes filled with killing intent, I didn’t doubt her for a second.


    That man would truly kill me if I didn’t do something.


    The man standing before me wasn’t like the Lucien I knew, which was ironic considering that even the old Lucien wouldn’t have hesitated to kill me too. But this one… this one felt differen More terrifying.


    I stared, panting hard on the ground, my throat burning from the earlier assault, my chest rising and falling as a slow grin spread across his face. Before I could even process it, he moved


    So fast I didn’t even see his shadow. One second he was against the wall, and the next, just as my eyes widened and I scrambled up, he was right in front of me, his fist cutting through the air so violently that it seemed to ripple around it.


    As I watched him aim the punch straight at my head, his smile widened, his lips moving. Even though I couldn’t hear him over the pounding of my heart, I knew exactly what he had said


    “I will kill you.”


    A shaky gasp tore from my throat. The next instant, I didn’t even know how I did it, but my body reacted to the danger on instinct. Just as his fist was about to connect with my face, I moved.


    I dropped to the ground and rolled inches away from him, narrowly avoiding the blow. A deafening boom echoed behind me, and I jerked my head toward him just in time to see his hand cave the wall in.


    No-he hadn’t just dented it. His fist had smashed straight through, his entire hand buried deep inside the cracked stone. Through the hole, I could clearly see Ss’s empty room on the other side, my jaw nearly dropping at the sight.


    Oh my goddess.


    My heart plunged to my stomach in disbelief.


    If I hadn’t moved… my head would have been crushed. Exploded into nothing.


    A cold shiver crawled down my spine at that thought, especially when a low, sickeningughter spilled from the man before <ol><li></li></ol>


    It was amused, almost unhinged, as he threw his head back and chuckled like the idea of killing me was the most thrilling thing in the world. Before I could even react, his head suddenly tilted backwards, eyes meeting mine, a smirk curling on his lips as he yanked his hand out of the wall as if it were nothing.


    Just as he did, Drevana’s voice slid through my mind, the usual amusement gone, reced with a warning.


    “Another attack.”


    I knew what she meant. Because the moment Lucien pulled his and free, he disappeared again.


    This time, I forced myself to remainposed. I forced my breathing to steady, forced my mind to catch up. Unlike thest time, when he moved now, I could see him, almost in slow motion.


    He was still terrifyingly fast, but slower than before, as if my senses had sharpened under the pressure.

    When he appeared behind me, the air itself seemed to darken, te tension snapping tight but I wasn’tpletely taken off guard this time.


    “Kill… kill everyone. Destroy Lucien from within.”


    Those sickening words hummed right behind me, his smile stretching wide even though I couldn’t see it.


    And just as Lucien raised his leg to kick me from behind-this time, I was faster.


    I drew in a sharp breath and dropped low, the world slowing as I watched his leg slice through the air above me, the strike passing inches from my nose. Then everything snapped back to normal speed.


    I fell into a split, barely keeping my bnce, and without wasting a second, I pushed off the ground and sprinted to the other side of the room, desperate to put as much distance between us as possible.


    Even though I knew… distance meant nothing to him.


    With that man’s speed, though not as fast as ude, he could still close the gap within a single tick of the clock.


    But that single second was enough for me to call out in desperation.


    “Drevana, tell me. What can I do to help him?”


    My voice was urgent, breathless, almost pleading but before I could even hear her response, he moved again.


    This time, much faster than before.


    Before I could react, he was already in front of me, his attack a bur of motion, raw killing intent radiating from him as he cornered me against the wall. There was no space left to retreat o path to dodge. His fist drew back, the same force gathering in it as he aimed straight for my head once more.


    If that punchnded… I would die.


    I sucked in a sharp breath. There was no time to think.


    My body moved on instinct.


    Just as his fist came down, I lunged forward instead of back, wrapping both arms tightly around his wrist. Using his own momentum against him, I lifted my legs and, without hesitation locked them around his neck.


    Then I twisted.


    Hard.


    His bnce broke instantly, and the next second-


    Thud!


    We crashed to the ground.


    It wasn’t hard enough to seriously injure him, but it was enough Enough to buy me a single, precious second.


    I shoved myself off him and scrambled to my feet, sprinting straight toward the door. My hand reached for the handle, then I froze.


    No.


    I couldn’t run out

    If I left to call for his brothers and he followed, anyone unlucky enough to cross his path would be ughtered without hesitation. I couldn’t let that happen. I couldn’t let anyone die because of this.


    So instead, I closed my eyes, making my decision, turning around and pushing myself in front of the door, blocking it with my own body, my back pressed against the wood as my eyes locked onto him.


    I would stop him here. Somehow.


    “Nothing,” Drevana’s voice finally answered inside my mind.


    I watched as Lucien began to sit up, his head jerking upward first slow and unnatural, like something straight out of a nightmare.


    “The curse has already started to take effect,” she continued coldly. “Seeing him now, his wolf will destroy anything in its path bef


    ore killing its human. So either you die… or he dies.”
