Kane POV "No!" My girl announced with a firmness that made my heart soar with pride, only for it to sink in the next breath seeing the scumbag approach her, and the turmoil he was putting her through. I couldn't help but smile through the pain, noting how Charlotte's resolve remained unwavering in

Chase's POV"That's enough, Astaroth," The almighty Selene declared, her voice calm but commanding."You... How dare you interfere!" His eyes widened, a flicker of annoyance breaking through his usually unflappable demeanour. Despite Selene's sweet voice, there was an unmistakable trace of irritatio
Liam's POVThe glow intensified, spreading across the room. It was as if a supernova had ignited within the chamber, banishing shadows and flooding every corner with blinding light. The oppressive atmosphere began to lighten, the dark tendrils of energy recoiling and retreating like serpents fleeing
Chase's POV"Get Lottie out of here!" Liam yelled to Kane and Knox. I spared a quick glance to make sure they were moving, but my attention was torn between the battle and the unpredictable energy emanating from Lottie."We need to go, now!" Kane grabbed Lottie's hand, urgency dripping from his voic
Chase's POVAstaroth lingered in the doorway, his satisfied smirk sending a chill down my spine. The grand chamber felt oppressive, the air thick with otherworldly energy that set my nerves on edge. I caught Liam's eye across the room; we both knew we needed to get Lottie and the others out of here—
Kane's POVWe continued our climb, more cautiously this time. The winged demons maintained their circling above but kept their distance. The reddish sky intensified the dramatic ambience, casting warm, golden shadows that made the setting feel even more isolated and formidable. I stayed close to Lot
Lottie POVA creeping sense of panic began to bubble within me as I watched Kane try to reach out through the bond. My heartbeat quickened, and a cold sweat formed at my temples."What's wrong?" Kane asked, his eyes filled with concern as he noticed my distress. I felt a rush of warmth at his gentle
Liam's POV"I think you know," Selene—the Moon Goddess, or whatever she wanted to be called—clarified, her ethereal voice echoing softly in the grand room."No," I roared, closing the distance between us in a heartbeat. My face was mere inches from hers, eyes blazing with a fury that had been simmer
