---- They caught Celia''s falling body midair. Her waist, head, and legs were held with incredible gentleness -the same way Rousse used to touch her. The generalnded hard in the square, standing in a cloud of dust beside the massive vine. "Get out of her! Let her go!" Victoria saw him shout at the witch, as he cradled her in his arms and gentlyid her down. Rousse was trembling, his eyes wild and full of a fear she had never seen in him.

    Meridiana''s shadow finally left Celia''s body, which dropped to the side, exhaling her final breath. In the midst of the chaos, Rousse held his woman tightly against him, lifting her, hugging her so hard it was as if he wanted to bury her inside his chest forever. "T can''t lose you too... can''t..." He pressed her head against his chest, burying his face in the crook of her neck. Meridiana felt something wet dripping continuously down her skin- Rousse was crying.

    ---- His shoulders trembled more with each ragged sob. It was like adam had burst behind his once-dry eyes. She clung to him, calming him,forting him-even though she was the one who''d just survived the fall. She felt the shadows shift in his mind-he remembered everything. He was in shock, but sadly, that moment of intimacy and grief wouldn''tst. They were still in the middle of a war, and the enemy had grown tired of waiting. The war horn echoed across the walls.

    No one knew if Drir''s army was on their side or against them. Most likely, they were loyal to that cursed man who had just appeared on one of the towers. He had seen his woman murdered and his daughter''s body desecrated-he would not forgive them. "DRACOMIR, YOU AND YOUR WHORE WILL PAY FOR THIS! TLL MAKE YOU SUEFER A PAIN WORSE THAN DEATH!" He roared, bloodshot eyes aze, raising his hands to summon his hidden army. ---- The entire fortress shook, and bone-chilling growls rose from.

    the depths. ''The sound of ws came rushing like a gue toward the square, ready to fight for their master. The wolf warriors answered the call, unsure which Alpha to obey. Chaos took over everything. "TF YOU''RE NOT WITH ME, THEN YOU''LL DIE WITH THOSE TRAITORS!" Frederick''s voice boomed as he pointed at them, feeling invincible, while the horde of those fake lycan spawns poured through the doors and windows. Drir and his wolf knew they had to flee.

    Fighting those things alone was suicide, even asa lycan. He moved to lift his mate onto his back-the four of them were gathered in the square, but there was still one exit left. "No, no, my Lord!" Victoria stopped him just as he tried to bite her clothes to drag her away. "Victoria, no one will take our side! We have no support -I won''t let you die!"
