POV: Lucian
Pain. Everywhere. All at once.
Lucian's body tears itself apart from the inside. Bones c***k and reform. Muscles shred and rebuild. Skin burns and regenerates.
The shift should be familiar. Lucian has shifted dozens of times. Knows the pain. Knows the rhythm.
But this is different.
This is wrong.
The wolf wants to come forward. The Lycan power surges. The vampire corruption screams. All three fighting for dominance. All three trying to reshape Lucian's body in their own image.
The result is agony.
Lucian's consciousness fractures. Sees the world through three different lenses.
Through wolf eyes, the mountains look familiar. Home. Pack territory to protect.
Through Lycan eyes, everything pulses with power. Auras visible. Hierarchies clear. Dominance structures laid bar
