Lilith POV
Lilith was standing at her bedroom window watching the sun set when the wards around the estate screamed.
It was not a sound she heard with her ears. It was a feeling...a violent ripping sensation that tore through her chest and made her gasp. Every protective spell woven into the estate's foundation shrieked in warning as something powerful and malicious tore through them like tissue paper.
The door to her room burst open and Lucian was there, eyes already bleeding gold.
"Get away from the window," he commanded. "Now."
"What's happening...."
"NOW!"
Lilith stumbled back just as something exploded against the exterior wall. The window shattered inward in a spray of glass and she threw her hands up instinctively. The glass stopped mid-air....suspended by invisible force, and then shot back out the window like bullets.
She heard a scream from outside.
Her magic had done that. Without her even thinking about it.
