“NOOO!!!”

A terrified shout rips from my throat as my eyes snap open with a violent gasp.

I spring upward in my chair, my heart hammering furiously as cold sweat drenches my forehead. My hands claws at the armrests, panting as I frantically look around the dim room. My eyes land sharply on the bed.

Lyra is lying there on her own, still looking pale under the fluorescent lights, her chest rising and falling in a slow rhythm. No Roman standing over her. No fangs ripping into her throat.

A sharp breath escapes my lips as I swing my gaze toward the entrance. The door is also still shut exactly the way it was a few minutes

ago.

Fuck. It was just a dream.

A breath of relief leaves my lungs, my shoulders collapsing as the tension drains from my muscles. Thank the moon goddess. I run a shaky hand through my hair, wiping away the cold sweat sticking to my skin.

That was an absolute nightmare. How long did I even close my eyes for? It couldn’t have been more than five minutes, yet the sheer horror of the vision still has my blood running cold.

‘What did you dream about? Vlad’s deep voice suddenly rumbles in the back of my mind, his tone full of an intense curiosity. ‘I felt your heart rate spike. Your fear almost triggered a forced shift.”

I shake my head silently, staring down at Lyra’s still form. “It doesn’t really matter now, Vlad. It was just a stupid trick of my mind.”

‘It matters!’ Vlad snaps, his tone turning incredibly sharp and demanding. ‘Because while you were out, our mate’s condition grew worse. I can feel it through our proximity. Lyra’s heartbeat is slowing down right now. The freeze is taking over her. If you don’t mark her within the next few minutes, I will forcefully take control and come out to do it myself.’

A cold wave of dread hits my stomach. I stare at my hands, my jaw clenching. “Vlad, wait-”

‘We both know how a marking from the primal animal goes, Kal,’ Vlad cuts me off, growling with warning. ‘If we mark her in my form, you know what it might cause. It is bloody, and the pain might tear her soul apart. The mark from your human form is gentle compared to what I will do to save her life. Make your choice. Now.’

Vlad is entirely right, I cannot let my beast take over and rip into her while she is this fragile.

Grim determination replaces my fear. I rise from the chair and lean my over Lyra’s frozen body, careful not to overcrowd her.

Chapter 329

My breath cuts as I stare at her. Her face and her skin are now icing all over, tiny crystals of frost spreading across her cheeks, her lips, and her collarbones. Without even touching her bare skin, I can feel the absolute cold radiating off her, biting into the air around the bed. It is so terrifying to look at. She is slipping away right into an iceberg inside her own mind.

I lean down further, my face hovering just inches from her bare neck. The scent of her sweet skin is fading, replaced by the smell of

winter.

“I hope you understand that I had to do this to save you, my little flower,” my voice trembles with guilt as I whisper into her ear. “Please

don’t hate me for this when you wake up.”

Before I can change my mind, before the guilt can stop me again, My fangs elongate and slide out completely. I lean down and

immediately sink my teeth deep into Lyra’s neck.

The exact moment my teeth pierce her flesh, an overwhelming and incredible sensation instantly explodes through my entire body. A

groan escapes me as the sheer power of

bond surges through my veins like liquid fire. I don’t know what I was expecting, but

this is way more than it. It feels like

ody is floating.

I immediately feel Lyra’s fadi
