Hungry for the king holding her. Hungry for the war it was born to finish.

Layana rushed to Declan, his eyes were closed a deep frown on his forehead. “Fight it!” she said cupping his face, her hands were shaking from fear, not even wanting to think about what could happen, the darkness grew, its putrid stench of evil and death filled the air, weighing down and cutting off the very air one needed to breathe. Layana staggered back as she heard the manic laugh of The Dark Lord. Layana stood up she needed to reach him! This couldn't be it; this was not the end- she refused to believe it!

He threw himself into his mother’s arms, his small frame shaking with a terror that surpassed any threat from the Architects. "Mama, the 'Ink' is back," Kaelen sobbed into her tunic. Lyra felt the sensory reality of his fear—the way his heartbeat was "stuttering" against her own. She looked around the street, her sapphire-human eyes searching for a glitch. Everything looked normal: the taxis, the pigeons, the smell of a nearby hot dog stand. But she felt the "Static" in the air—a high-frequency hum that told her the "Unread" state was being "Interrupted."

You're the heir to the Lockhart wealth, but you're afraid of horror movies? Not only that, but you're a vampire that is already terrified of noises. I can't take it any longer! I must overcome my fear! Right! This is something I can handle! AFTER 3 HOURS

Somewhere out there, Selene was laughing. And for the first time in my golden, reckless life—I felt true fear. If she was teaming up with Kiernan like we all suspected, then we had a very real, very big problem on our hands. I told you we should have killed that fucking wemch when we had the chance, Laziel hissed, and I watched Dante flinch with regret.

Tristan said calmly. “No! No! The monster is here! He’ll hurt me! I’m noisy! I’m scared. ” Lance took a step to get closer to Skye, but couldn’t, as Skye pointed at him. “Mummy!
