The hooded figure stood at the edge of the embankment, staring down at the wreckage of the silver Mercedes below.

The black sedan sat abandoned behind him, its front end crumpled from the collision in the parking garage.

But the figure hadn't needed the car anymore—not when the pull from the rings was so strong, drawing him forward like a beacon.

He tilted his head, listening to something only he could hear, and then began his descent down the steep hill. His movements were wrong—too fluid, too graceful for the treacherous terrain.

It was as if gravity itself had less hold on him than it should.

When he reached the bottom, he approached the crashed Mercedes, peering inside through the shattered windows.

Empty. Blood on the seats, shards of metal and glass everywhere, but no bodies.

They'd survived. And someone had taken them away.

The hooded figure's hand clenched into a fist, and the air around him seemed to ripple with barely contained power. He closed his eyes, focusing on the pull

Chapter 56 PART 1
Alexander's body tensed as the hooded figure stepped closer, that unnatural green glow pulsing beneath the shadow of his hood like a diseased heartbeat. The rings in Alexander's pocket burned against his thigh, responding to the presence of their counterpart."Lila, we need to move," Alexander said urgently, his eyes never leaving the approaching figure. "Right now.""I told you, I'm staying here!" Lila clutched her phone tighter, her face pale with pain and fear. "Victor's men will be here any minute. They'll protect us.""They won't be able to protect you from that," Alexander gestured toward the hooded figure, who was now less than fifty feet away and closing the distance with those impossibly smooth movements."You're being paranoid!" Lila's voice was shrill with hysteria. "Ever since the divorce, you've been acting crazy! First with those ridiculous rings, then with your fake black card, and now this—this delusion that someone is trying to kill us!""It's not a delusion!" Alexand

Lila's eyes fluttered open, and immediately, she wished they hadn't.Pain radiated from her abdomen in waves that made her want to scream.She bit down on her lip, tasting blood, and tried to remember what had happened.The chase. The crash. Alexander driving like a man possessed. The car going off the road...She tried to sit up and gasped as agony lanced through her stomach.Looking down, she saw her torn blouse and the crude bandaging wrapped around her midsection.The fabric was stiff with dried blood, and beneath it, she could feel the strange, puckered texture of burned skin.Someone had treated her wound. But how? And where were they now?"Alexander?" Her voice came out as a croak. "Alexander!"No answer. Just the distant sound of sirens and the eerie quiet of an abandoned neighborhood at dusk.Panic began to set in. She was alone, injured, in one of the most dangerous parts of the city. Her car was destroyed. Her phone—she patted her pockets frantically until her fingers close

Somehow, impossibly, he understood her perfectly. She'd said: Don't come closer!"Katarina, put the knife down," Alexander said slowly, raising his hands to show he meant no harm."Ya ne znaju, shto ty!" Her voice cracked with fear and tears streamed down her face. "Ty monster! Ty ubyvaesh' ludey kak nichevo!"I don't know what you are! You're a monster! You kill people like it's nothing!Alexander's mind reeled. He understood every word. More than that, when he opened his mouth to respond, the same foreign language poured out fluently, as naturally as breathing."Ya ne monster," he said gently, keeping his hands raised. "Ya spas tebya. Pomnish'? V klube? Ya kupil tebya, chtoby otpustit'."I'm not a monster. I saved you. Remember? At the club? I bought you to set you free.Katarina's eyes widened in shock. "Ty... ty govorish' na moyom yazyke?"You... you speak my language?"Apparently so," Alexander replied, still speaking her tongue without conscious thought. "Though I have no idea h
CHAPTER 54 PART 1
Alexander was still processing what had just happened—how his body had moved with lethal precision, how five grown men now lay groaning at his feet—when he heard slow, mocking applause echoing from the mouth of the alley."Well, well, well. Looks like we got ourselves a real tough guy here."A sixth man emerged from the shadows, and Alexander immediately recognized him as the leader.He was taller than the others, with a lean, wiry build that spoke of street fighting experience.His arms were covered in prison tattoos, and a nasty scar ran from his left eye down to his jaw.In his right hand, he casually flipped a switchblade, the metal catching the dim light as it spun.Behind Alexander, Katarina let out a small gasp of fear."Ricky," one of the groaning thugs on the ground mumbled. "He came outta nowhere—""Shut up, you useless piece of trash," Ricky sneered, not taking his eyes off Alexander. He continued his slow advance, the switchblade dancing between his fingers with practiced

His hands moved to his shirt, tearing off strips of fabric. He wadded some up and pressed them against the wound, applying pressure.With his other hand, he fumbled with a lighter he'd found in the glove compartment.This was the worst part. The part that would scar her, but would save her life.He heated the blade of a small knife from the first aid kit until it glowed faintly red, then pressed it against the wound.The smell of burning flesh made bile rise in his throat, but he didn't stop. Cauterization was brutal, medieval—but effective. The bleeding slowed, then stopped.Lila had mercifully passed out again from the pain.Alexander sat back on his heels, his hands shaking now that the immediate crisis was over. He'd just performed field medicine that he had no conscious memory of learning. His body had known exactly what to do, his hands steady and sure even as his mind reeled.Who was he? What kind of life had he lived that this came so naturally?He pushed the questions aside.
