Lucien raised his hand toward Liane, blocking all of her moves. Henry did the same as they continued to come closer to Liane. She was still across the warehouse from them, but at least she wasn't able to harm them, no matter the spell she used. Her power was no match against the both of them.

He glanced over at Liam and Llona. Liam had removed his shirt and torn it into one long strip, wrapping her bloodied stomach with the makeshift bandage. Llona took hold of his hand.

"Help them," she begged. "I'll be okay."

"Get the girls out of here, Liam," Lucien said.

"That's what I'm trying to do," he shot back.

"No one is going anywhere." Liane's voice echoed in the large space.

She reached up toward the overhead garage door and jerked her hand down. The entire wall and metal door began to crumble near them. Bricks, metal, and wood fell from the ceiling in a great pile of rubble blocking the entrance. Parts of it nearly hit Liam and Llona, but Liam managed to pull her away just in time.

Liam straightened. "I'm going to kill this bitch."

Liane laughed. The sound was literally cold, freezing the air around them. "I'd like to see you try!" She glanced over her shoulder. "It's time."

Supernaturals came pouring through the opening behind her. Lucien could smell them: fae, demons, vampires, all kinds of creatures. Their power pulsed into the warehouse, making the large space feel constrictive and smothering. Their combined essences were so strong, the air actually darkened.

"We need to get out of here," Henry warned, his voice low.

"I'll stop who I can while you figure that out." Liam squeezed Llona's hand, then leapt into the air, his body bursting into a furious wind again. He tore around the building, smashing into whomever he could.

Lucien was about to join in the fight against the Supernaturals when he glanced back at Eve to make sure she was still safe. She sat up staring at something in the corner, her eyes wide and teary. He followed her gaze. There in the shadows, about twenty-five feet away, stood Bo.

"Bo?" Eve squeaked. She came to her feet, her body healed, her clothing covered in blood.

"Eve!" Lucien shouted back at her, but she didn't hear him over Liam’s chaos. There was no way that was the real Bo. Someone was playing a trick on her.

"It's me," Bo said, his voice deep yet airy, as if it were being processed through a digitized voice filter.

She took a step toward him, her eyes narrowed. "But I saw you die."

Bo shook his head. "I'm very much alive and waiting for you. Come to me." He stretched his hand toward her.

Lucien's heart raced, and he searched the room to try and find the source of magic that was creating the powerful illusion.

"You betrayed me," Eve said to Bo, her voice full of pain.

"No Reina. They lied to you."

She took a step toward him, her eyes narrowed.

"Stop her!" Henry snapped at him. "They must not get her.
