"To the death."

Enzo and I took a step back, eyeing Mila cautiously.

"To the death?" Enzo scoffed. "Mila, are you insane?"

"No." She shrugged, checking her crimson nails. "Not insane. It's tradition."

"Let me make this perfectly clear," Mila purred, her voice dripping with a mixture of disdain and mockery." Tomorrow, at the crack of dawn, you two will battle fiercely to the death. No tricks, no mercy will be permitted- just a vicious brawl until one lone victor remains breathing. Do we have an understanding?"

She lifted one slender brow when she was finished, regarding us like insects she planned to squash beneath the heel of her boot. I hadn't felt this small since before we had ended the Lana's reign.

"You sadistic witch!" Enzo growled. He rushed forward and smashed a fist against the bars, causing both Luke and I to jump, but then he recoiled as the silver seared his flesh.

I rushed over to him. He sank to his knees with a guttural groan, cradling his burnt hand. "I'll never kill my wife, you bitch," he growled. "Never."
