Nicholas caught him, slamming him back against the wall. "No."
"He just marked her....."
"I know."
"She's in pain...."
"She chose this," Nicholas said firmly. "And if you go in there now, you'll make it worse. She's fine. Listen."
Lucian went still and they both listened.
And then they felt it.
The bond completing, snapping into place with a force that made both of them stagger. And with it came the power, Lilith's magic exploding outward in a wave that shook the entire estate.
The shockwave hit them and Nicholas barely stayed on his feet. Behind them down the hall he heard glass shattering, heard doors slamming, heard wolves throughout the pack crying out in shock as they felt the surge through the mindlink.
"What the fuck!" Lucian gasped.
Nicholas could only stare at Sebastian's door as the shaking subsided, his mind racing.
Whatever Lilith was, whatever power was waking up inside her, it was strong enough to shake an entire estate when a bond completed.
