LUCY.

My body jolted awake, making my eyes snap open as my heart thudded loudly in my chest. I sat up from lying down with

my hands clutching my sheets tightly as I

looked around.

I’m still in the underworld, and

something doesn’t feel right.

‘Lucius?’ He was my only connection in this place.

‘Damn it, Lucija! I’ve been trying to wake

you up for an hour now!’ He snapped at

me, and I knew it had something to do

with Adan.

‘Where is he? What’s going on?’

‘No time to explain! Kosior dungeon,

now!’

Oh, Goddess! Oh, Goddess!

I shoved the blanket off my body and grabbed my robe, wrapping it around me before I closed my eyes and flicked my fingers, hoping against hope that I would end up at the right place.

In seconds, I found myself on the stairs.

that would lead me to Adan’s cell.

The smell of blood, sweat, and flesh being burned was swirling around me, making my jaw twitch. I wanted to scream, but I composed myself. I needed to think and act logically, but I swore to the Goddess

that I would kill whoever was responsible if something happened to Adan.

I didn’t waste any more time as I ran toward his cell. The blood I was smelling wasn’t ordinary blood – it was his blood, the same blood I was feasting on last

she was right.

But then we were in the underworld, where everything could be changed with the flick of a finger. I had no idea how powerful my father was, but I was errified – not for me, but for Adan.

I ran and walked until I reached the cells

where he was being held. My mouth dropped open as my legs buckled at the sight of him. I couldn’t stop myself from falling onto my knees, but Lucius was quick to catch me, or my entire body would have stumbled on the dingy floor.

Nothing matters now but Adan.

I steadied my feet and rushed toward him, dropping to my knees as I looked at his horrible condition.

He was unconscious, but he was

these hurt like hell.

But why didn’t I feel anything?

Tears were trickling down my face as rage surged within me. “Did Father do this?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“I had no idea. I just went to look for him and saw him whipping him. I was too late already, he just kept hitting him.”

“Why didn’t I feel anything?”

“I don’t know.”

“Did he scream? Did he ask him to stop?”
