"SILENCE!" The figure's hand came up, and green fire erupted from his palm, shooting toward Alexander in a stream of unholy flame.

But Alexander was already moving, his combat instincts predicting the attack a split second before it came. He rolled to the side, came up running, and closed the distance again.

This time, when he grabbed the figure's wrist, he didn't let go. The images came again—more intense, more painful—but Alexander gritted his teeth and held on. His other hand came up, reaching for the ring on the figure's finger.

The figure thrashed like a hooked fish, that impossible strength returning as he tried to break free. "NO! You cannot have it! I need it! I NEED IT!"

Alexander's fingers closed around the ring, started to pull—

And then, from the mouth of the alley, came the roar of engines and the harsh glare of headlights. Three black SUVs screeched to a halt, and armed men poured out, at least a dozen of them, all wearing tactical gear and carrying assault rifles.

    "Alexander, you can't fight that thing!" Lila said desperately. "Look at it! It's not even human!""I know," Alexander said quietly. Then, louder, to the hooded figure: "You want the rings? Come and take them."The figure laughed—a sound like breaking glass mixed with howling wind. "Brave words. Or foolish ones. I have killed men far more powerful than you, little God of War. You don't even remember who you are.""Maybe not," Alexander admitted, rolling his shoulders and flexing his hands. "But I'm about to find out."He charged.The distance between them vanished in seconds. Alexander's fist came up in a devastating uppercut that should have connected with the figure's jaw—but at the last second, the figure flickered, seeming to phase slightly out of reality. Alexander's fist passed through empty air.Off balance, he stumbled, and the figure's hand shot out, grabbing his throat. Those too-long fingers wrapped around his neck like steel cables, lifting him off the ground with impossib

    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

    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

    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
