CHAPTER 698
THREE YEARS LATERBehind the walls of the Black-Rock Maximum Security Prison Clara stood in the middle of the crowded cafeteria.She stood in a long line for food that was moving slowly. She held a plastic tray in her hands.Her long hair which used to be soft and groomed, was now pulled back in a tight, messy braid. Her eyes, which used to sparkle, were now cold and sharp."I know you’re surprised, you must be wondering how the sister of the most powerful man on Earth ended up behind bars, wearing a jumpsuit that smells like a grave. This was far from the life Adrian wanted for me. If he saw me now, if he saw the things I’ve done and the blood I’ve spilled, I’m sure he wouldn't even recognize me. I’m no longer that little girl who would run to hug him when he got home."She adjusted the collar of her uniform. Beneath the fabric, the pendant Adrian had given her hung against her skin. It was cold. Dead. The dragon energy that had resided within it had been exhausted months ago; most
CHAPTER 697
The glowing circle rushed forward, hitting Adrian square in the chest. Adrian felt his strength, his energy, and his very life being drained out of his body. He fell to his knees, his hands clawing at the grass."What... did you do... to me?" Adrian gasped, his voice fading to a whisper."Just a little nighty-night spell," the voice said, laughing hysterically. The sound was cold and hollow.Adrian’s eyes slowly closed. The world turned to gray, then to black. His body went limp, and he slumped forward, lying motionless on the cold earth."Alas," the figure whispered, looking down at the fallen king. "The Lancaster bloodline is closed for good."With a soft shimmer, the robed figure vanished into the night, leaving nothing but silence and destruction behind.Clara, finally regaining her breath and pushing herself up from the floor inside, ran out into the yard. The sight stole the air from her lungs. The beautiful garden was a war zone."Brother!" she screamed, her voice cracking with
CHAPTER 696
Clara’s scream ripped through the air as she scrambled over the broken wood and drywall, rushing toward the guest room where Adrian lay buried under debris. Before she could reach him, a wave of unseen energy slammed into her, tossing her aside like a rag doll."You are not worth killing, you're not even a true Lancaster.""Clara, no!" Adrian roared, his voice thick with blood and fury.He pulled himself from the wreckage, his clothes torn and his skin bruised, but his eyes were glowing with a terrifying, desperate light. The energy around him began to boil. He ignored the pain in his shattered ribs and his pounding head."I will make you regret ever setting foot in this house!" Adrian screamed.He launched himself forward, moving so fast he became a blur of green light. He aimed a strike that could have leveled a building, but the robed figure didn't even move. Just as Adrian’s fist was an inch from his face, the figure reached out with impossible speed and caught Adrian’s hand m
CHAPTER 695
Outside, a storm erupted out of nowhere. Lightning hammered against the house, the thunder sounding like the footsteps of a giant. The walls began to vibrate, and the floor began to shake as if a massive earthquake was tearing through the foundation."Adrian?" Clara trembled, her hand gripping his arm so hard her nails were almost sinking into his skin. "What’s happening?""Stay behind me," Adrian commanded, his voice sharp and urgent.He stood up, shielding her with his body. In the center of the living room, the shadows began to swirl and thicken. They knitted together, forming a tall, imposing figure clothed in a heavy, coal-black robe. The hood hung so low that his face was just darkness, just only a hint of a chin and a pair of cold, unblinking eyes were visible.The vibrating stopped. The room went deathly silent."Who the hell are you?" Adrian demanded, his voice echoing in the stillness.The figure didn't move. A deep, rumbling voice emerged from the hood, sounding like stone
CHAPTER 694
Lyra came in through the shattered window of the industrial building. The violet glow around her hands faded as she looked at Vanessa, who was finally sitting up, color returning to her pale face. The nightmare was over. Vanessa leaned heavily on Adrian as they helped her down the stairs, past the wreckage of Marcus’s fallen army, and toward the waiting sedan. Lyra walked beside them, her expression calm and satisfied. "He won’t bother you again, Vanessa," Lyra said with a small, knowing nod. "Marcus Thorne has met his end." Adrian helped Vanessa into the backseat of the car. He took her home. When they arrived at her apartment, he signaled a team of elite Rhein Group guards who had followed them in a separate SUV. "Stay here," Adrian commanded the guards. "Secure the perimeter. If she needs so much as a glass of water, you get it. Nobody goes in or out without my authorization." Vanessa looked at Adrian, her eyes shining with tears of gratitude. "Thank you, Adrian. If not for y
CHAPTER 693
"You called, Boss?" she asked, her eyes fixed on the cowering Marcus."Take Marcus on a brief flight around the city," Adrian ordered, his voice cold and flat. "Teach him what it feels like to be truly helpless. When you are done, dump his body where the vultures can have what’s left. I never want to see his face in this realm again."Marcus’s laughter died instantly. He stumbled back, his face turning a pasty, sickly white. "What? No! Stay back! What are you? Don't you dare come close to me!"Lyra stepped toward him, a wicked, predatory smile spreading across her face. "Oh, don't be like that, Marcus. You said you wanted to reach the top of the world, didn't you? How would you like to go on a fun little flight?""Keep away from me! Guards! Someone!" Marcus screamed, scrambling backward, but there was no one left to save him.Lyra reached out, her fingers locking onto his collar with the strength of an iron vice. With a casual flick of her wrist, she vaulted into the air, dragging the
