    Summary

    The doors before them burst open, and Ilya has to grunt and turn his face away from the sudden blaze of daylight—the first bit of real light he’d seen in what feels like a year, even if the skies are largely overcast.

    Truthfully, it has only been a few days, by his own estimation, but none of that matters.

    Every single passing hour without Shane has felt like a millenia in its own wretched way.

    Before Ilya became the Wild King, he tries to give himself up to an old enemy so he could keep Shane safe. It’s a noble sacrifice—Ilya knows this, has planned extensively for it, and prepared his heart for it. Unsurprisingly, Shane does not take this turn of events sitting down.
