Darius arched an eyebrow, intrigued by the fire in Lyanna’s rope. He had always loved her fierce spirit, but this was something else–pure, hrbridled
Eleazar’s eyes darted to Darius, seeking an ally “You brought the Crescent Stone“, he said, his voice a touch desperate. “We can use it together, Darius Think of the power-

Darius watched, unflinching, his expression unreadable.
Leanna stood over Eleazar’s body, her chest heaving. She turned to Darius, her hands still stained with blood.

Darrus stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. “And what about us, Lyanna? You can’t keep running from this–running from me.”
Her lips curled into a batter smile. “I’m not running. I have a war to win and I don’t need distractions,”
Darius growled softly, his wolf stirring at her defiance. “You think I am a distraction?”
“I think you are a complication“, she shot back. “One I can’t afford.”

“I don’t have time for love, Dartus,” she whispered.
“This best love,” Darius said, his voice rough. “It’s survival, and whether you like it or not, we are stronger together”
Lyanna pulled her hand free, stepping back. Then prove it,” she said, her tone challenging “Stand by me in what’s to come. Fight beside me, not against me.”

Darius shook his head in regret. “It’s too bad we can’t use at till we get a hold of Lucian. Do I send my warriors after him to retrieve him? The Bood Moon is almost upon us.”

“I know what I told you. If you had known it was Elena’s blood we needed, you would have taken her long before she transformed. She needs to come into her true self for the ritual to work. And she is still not ready. Maybe seeing Lucian again will motivate her,” she said with an evil glee in her eyes

He moved quietly to the door. He turned as his hands touched the knob.
