The corridor pulsed like a heartbeat around him–dark, endless, alive. The walls wept black liquid. Shadows moved like insects beneath his skin.

Still, he ran.

The sound grew louder–slick, rhythmic, shameless.

He didn’t think. Didn’t breathe.

Julian reached the door and didn’t hesitate. He kicked it open, nearly knocking the door right off the hinges-

And the world stopped.

Kaelani was there. On the bed. Naked, her body glistening like a fever dream.

She was bent forward, spine arched like a bowstring, hands gripping the twisted sheets.

Draevyn was behind her.

Fucking her.

Deep. Hard. Possessive.

The sound of skin on skin echoed like a slap to the soul. The tempo was obscene. Endless.

Julian froze. His stomach hollowed. Time fractured.

Kaelani’s eyes opened–and locked on his.

Not startled. Not penitent.

She looked through him. Past him. As if he were a ghost.

As if he meant nothing.

And as Draevyn drove into her again, her mouth fell open-

Right on the edge of ecstasy.

Right on the edge of coming.

And as she cried out–broken and beautiful–her gaze didn’t waver.

Didn’t flinch.

Julian staggered back, bile in his throat.

Something inside him shattered.

No splintered.

This wasn’t jealousy.

This wasn’t anger

It was obliteration.

His mind screamed no, but his wolf only howled

The walls began to bleed.

a sound full of betrayal and madness and a need to destroy

Draevyn looked straight at him—and smiled with too many teeth, still pounding into her.

“She’ll be dripping with me long after you’re dead.”

Julian didn’t think.

He lunged.

A guttural snarl ripped from his throat as he tackled Draevyn off the bed, slamming him hard into the stone floor. The impact shook the room–furniture splintering as they crashed through a table, knocking over chairs, ripping curtains from the walls. Julian was on top of him in seconds, clawed fists pummeling, fangs bared in pure, feral rage. He hurled Draevyn across the room, into a dresser that shattered on impact–wood snapping like bone.

But Draevyn only laughed.

Julian roared and charged again, driving him into the wall so hard it cracked.

He didn’t stop.

Didn’t care.

He pulled the dagger from his belt–jagged, gleaming, deadly–and brought it down toward Draevyn’s throat.

Draevyn caught his wrist–one–handed–like it was nothing.

The bastard was still laughing.

くる。

“This isn’t real,” Draevyn said, grinning, teeth red. “None of this is real.”

Julian snarled, pushing the blade down harder. His muscles shook with effort, veins bulging as the edge pressed closer to Draevyn’s skin.

Still Draevyn laughed.

“You think this pain will fix it?” he hissed. “You think killing me will bring her back to you?”

Julian screamed–a raw, primal sound–and shoved harder.

The blade sank deeper.

Draevyn’s laughter cracked.

He coughed. Strained.

His grip started to slip.

And then, with something close to fear in his voice, he rasped-

“Julian… it’s not real.”

The words struck like a whip. Something inside Julian jolted.

“You have to tell your mind,” Draevyn said, weaker now. “Tell it… this isn’t real…”

Julian blinked.

Once.

Twice.

The shadows flickered.

And suddenly–Draevyn’s face was gone.

It was Jace.

Julian was on top of him, pinning him down, the dagger trembling inches from his throat.

Blood at the corner of Jace’s mouth. Eyes wide. Real.

“Come back, man,” Jace choked out. “You gotta come back…”

Julian’s breath sawed in and out of his lungs as he looked around-

The bridge.

They were on the bridge–right near the edge.

Wind screamed past them like a warning. The drop below was endless–miles of open air yawning beneath their feet.

Then he looked back at Jace–his best friend’s upper body dangling dangerously close to the ledge.

Reality crashed over him like ice water.

He wasn’t just about to slit Jace’s throat…

They were seconds from plummeting to their deaths.
