Aria's POV
I froze, my brain unable to process the next course of action. But then, unannounced, the window exploded inward in a shower of glass.
A huge black wolf crashed through, landing between me and the assassins.
The wolf was massive, bigger than any I'd seen before, with dark fur and bright blue eyes that I recognized immediately.
Lucian. He'd jumped through a fifth-floor window to get to me.
The two assassins barely had time to react before Lucian attacked.
The first guy tried to punch him but Lucian dodged and his jaws clamped down on the guy's arm. There was a sickening crunch and the guy screamed.
The second assassin with the knife tried to stab Lucian in the side but Lucian twisted and the blade only caught his shoulder. Blood sprayed but Lucian didn't even slow down.
He released the first guy's arm and went for his throat instead. I had to look away.
