Nicholas POV
Nicholas was in his office going through territory reports when the bond flared.
Not flared.
Ignited.
He dropped the paper.
His hand went to his chest.
Kael surged forward hard enough to make him gasp.
"What the fuck!"
The bond was burning.
Not pain.
Heat.
Arousal.
Fear.
All of it tangled together and slamming into him through Lilith's side of the connection.
She was terrified.
She was running.
She was...
The door to his office exploded open.
Lucian stood in the doorway.
Eyes already gold and he was breathing hard.
"That bastard is going to kill her."
Nicholas was on his feet.
"What."
"Sebastian. Rhen. Lilith is in the fucking woods and Rhen has her."
"How do you know."
"I can feel it. The incomplete bond....it is not stable like yours but I can feel her. She is scared out of her mind and Sebastian is not answering the mindlink."
Nicholas reached for the bond immediately.
