Chapter 53: A Desperate Escape
The walls of the stronghold trembled immediately.
Lucia barely had time to adjust to the changes before the torches went out, turning the whole chamber into complete darkness.
"Move." Kain was at her side instantly, his voice was very low and very sharp.
But she could not just move that very moment.
Something unseen calling out to her deep inside, turning in her chest like a tied being pulled from the other end.
Her breath stopped. And then she felt him.
A voice not spoken, not whispered, but something far worse.
"Come to me."
Lucia moved back , holding together her head. The feeling was not just in her mind it was inside her. A deep, ancient force was calling to her, as if she were a rope used to woven him into existence.
The Darkborn Alpha was awake. And he wanted her.
"Lucia!" Kain held her arm, looking at her just as the first howl split through the silence.
