They shove Dušan toward the door, and I rush to the front of my prison, sticking my arm out. “Please, don’t do this! I’ll do anything you want, Mad. I beg you.”

It’s Dušan who still looks at me, holding my gaze while my tears run rampant down my face.

He smiles, and I’m crying, unable to stop. “Our souls will always be united. I promise this won’t be the last time you see me. I love you, Meira.”

He’s forced out of the prison, with the guards and Mad following him. Before the main door is barely closed, Dušan turns ferociously onto two of the guards. Brutally, he slams into them, bringing them down to the ground.

The door claps shut.

I freeze.

I can’t breathe.

I’m falling apart.

Growls and thuds erupt, the banging and shuffling escalating.Kill them, Dušan.

I wait breathlessly for him to return. To find out that he finished them off. To take me away from here.

It takes moments for the blast of noises to flatline. Silence.

Anticipation coils around me, suffocating me.

The longer I wait, the more I deflate, and my insides incinerate with anguish.

Never had I dreamed that I’d fall in love, let alone with three men. But to have one ripped from me is like tearing my heart physically out of my chest.

I collapse to my knees, crying loudly in my hands, hissing my anger through clenched teeth.

Seconds pass.

Minutes.

He doesn’t come.

Dušan never returns.

He’s gone.

My world breaks into pieces that will never be put together again.

In my mind, all I see are his wolf-blue eyes, the softness of his lips cushioning against mine, the soft whispers in my ear of what he promised me. Everything we shared had been taken from me and I can’t bear to fathom a future without him.

A sob breaks through me.

Those memories sit inside me like horrible, jagged shards of glass.

Tearing me.

Shattering me.

Killing me.

Selfishly, all I can think is that I wish I’d never fallen in love with anyone.

“Hurry the hell up,” I bark as Lucien lags behind me.
