LUCY.

Tears trickled down my face as I tried to keep myself together. It was agonizing to see Adan chained and punished, but it was torture to hear his pleas. I hope one day he will forgive me for doing this to

him.

A loud crashing sound, like bricks exploding, erupted in the air as metals and chains clattered as they were dragged on the floor. And I knew Adan had broken free. My gaze darted to my father, who was left stunned in his place.

Adan was soon on my back, his chained arms coiling around my body as he

hugged me tightly.

My father hissed, his eyes blazing red, as

he stood up from his throne, but I was

faster. I let fire engulf my whole body, including Adan. I knew my father had the possibility of penetrating my fire, but I was thankful that Lucius held his arm to

block him from reaching us.

If anything, it caused Father to pause and just stare at me, his chest heaving as I continued to sob and let myself be lost in Adan’s touch while Patrea continued her

chant.

“Lucy… Stop her. We can win this

together.” Adan mumbled against my

skin, his mouth kissing the skin of my

neck.

I let the fire make a gurgling sound to keep the others outside from hearing our

conversation.

“I love you, Adan. I need you to trust me. I promise I will come back for you.”

“I don’t want you out of my head.”

“Adan…” I wanted to tell him it would just be temporary until I got my act together, but I felt something digging into my neck. “Adan…”

A soft gasp left my throat, but I stopped. myself from creating more noise as his fangs sunk deeper, piercing my soft spot.

He was marking me.

I had no idea how he was able to let his fangs out, but it might have something to do with why his aura became strong.

My hands flew to his forearms, which were still gripping my body tightly as I held on to him for support because my knees were buckling but my mate wasn’t stopping.

It was painful and exhilarating. Despite the situation we were in, I couldn’t help but revel in the way his teeth were digging into my skin. I was so lost at the

moment when, all of a sudden, Adan’s hold on me loosened as his body dropped to the ground just beside my feet. With my fire still enveloping us, I cleaned the blood from my neck and covered his mark with my hair before wiping the blood off his lips. His fangs retracted as his chest. rose and fell as if he were just sleeping.

I lowered the flame that was embracing us until it completely extinguished. Lucien immediately rushed forward to

check on me.

“What have you done?” He hissed, his jaw tightening as he threw me a furious

look.

“I just protected him from your wrath. He just wanted to hug me.” I told him in a cold voice, with my eyes blazing red before I turned my full attention to Patrea. “Were you able to do it?”

She nodded her head.

“I will send Stone back to his territory.” My father spoke, but before he could do anything, I spun my body around and

held his wrist.
