“Drifting where?”

He didn’t answer.

“WHERE?” I roared.

“We don’t know!” Tony shouted back. “Maybe nowhere. Maybe she’s just–she’s just lost.

I grabbed him by the front of his shirt and slammed him against the wall. “You said this was safe. You said you could restore her mate bond.”

“That’s not “Tony’s eyes went wide. “That’s not what this procedure was for.”

I froze. “What?”

Anthony stepped forward, holding his hands out placatingly. “Alexander, please. Let him go.”

“Answer the fucking question.” I didn’t let go of Tony. “What was this procedure for?”

Tony looked at Anthony. Anthony looked at the floor.

And then, slowly, haltingly, they told me.

They told me about Maria. About how they’d been trying to bring her back for years. About how they thought Ella’s rebirth, combined with the crystal’s power, made it possible to transfer Maria’s soul into Ella’s body.

They told me they had lied.

I let go of Tony. He stumbled back, gasping. I wanted to hit him. I wanted to rip both of their throats out. But Ella was still lying in that chair, still unconscious, still slipping away, and killing them wouldn’t bring her back.

“Fix this,” I said. My voice was shaking. “Fix this right now.”

“We’re trying,” Anthony said. “But we don’t know how. The procedure was experimental. We didn’t anticipate-”

“I don’t give a shit what you anticipated!” I was shouting now. “You used her. You lied to her, and you used her, and now she’s dying because of it!”

“She’s not dying,” Tony said quickly. “Her body is stable. But her consciousness is somewhere else. We just need to find a way to bring her back.”

“Then do it!”

“We’re trying!”

I turned back to Ella. Her face was so still. The crystal was barely glowing now, just a faint flicker beneath her skin.

I reached for her hand again, but before I could touch her, my phone rang.

I almost ignored it. But then I saw the name on the screen.

Hunter.

I answered. “What?”

“Alexander.” Hunter’s voice was frantic. “The house is on fire.”

Time stopped.

“What?” I hissed.

“The house. Someone set it on fire. I got most of the staff out, but-” He paused. I could hear sirens in the background. “Lucien is still inside. The nursery–I can’t get to it. The stairs are blocked.”

My son.

My son was trapped in a burning house.

I looked at Ella. She was lying there, unconscious, maybe dying, and I couldn’t do anything to help her. But Lucien

“I’m on my way,” I said.

“Hurry,” Hunter said, and then the line went dead.
