Lucian's POV
"Alina!" I screamed, my voice echoing off the concrete as I watched Ilya trying to drag her unconscious body across the floor.
I sprinted toward them and shoved Ilya away with full force.
"Alina! Alina, wake up," I pleaded, gathering her into my arms and checking her neck for a pulse.
I knew this was a fucking stupid idea. Letting her get involved in this... why did she leave without informing anyone?! If it wasn't because of our mate bond, I wouldn't have even known she was here in the first place.
"Ilya, what the fuck did you do to her?!" I roared, looking up at her with pure rage burning in my chest.
A manic laugh burst from her lips. "Me? What did I do? I didn't do anything! She was trying to act so smart with me. I don't care who she thinks she is, she can never beat me—no one can!"
