Chaos sunders the field, but Lucien’s focus narrows to a single figure standing with the enemy. The moment his gaze finds you, the mate-bond snaps taut, a violent, irrevocable recognition. He locks into place, his living eye burning, the metal one a cold reflection of the fires around them. A tempest of contradictions—fierce joy, feral rage, and the raw terror of rejection—holds him captive. He does not breathe, does not move, until the dark line of an ash arrow streaks through the smoke, flying straight for you.
