Alle's POV"Where is she now?" I asked. "How can I meet her?"Mary didn't answer immediately.The moment I finished speaking, her fingers stopped moving. She had been holding the edge of her dress, but now she simply stared at her hands as if the answer she carried was something she wished she could keep hidden."Mary?"She looked up slowly. "I wish you didn't ask me that."My brows pulled together. "What happened to her?"Mary took a breath, but even then, she hesitated "Alpha Lowell killed her.”I waited for her to correct herself, to tell me she had misunderstood something, but Mary only looked back at me with the same sadness in her eyes, and I knew she was telling the truth."That isn't possible," I said quietly, shaking my head. "I would remember something like that."Mary watched me for a moment, her brows slowly drawing together. "What do you mean?"I looked away, my fingers tightening around the edge of my dress. I couldn't explain why those words felt impossible, or why hear

Alle's POVThe carriage rolled through the castle gates in complete silence.I sat across from the woman who called herself Rybenna, but neither of us spoke. Every now and then, I caught her looking at me through the corner of her eye. The moment I noticed, she looked away as though nothing had happened.I pulled my sleeve back just enough to look at my wrist.The black vein was gone.A quiet breath escaped my lips before I quickly let my sleeve fall back into place. I had barely begun to wonder if everything that happened at the castle had somehow ended when a faint burning sensation crept beneath my skin again.It was still there.It had simply gone into hiding.Before I could think any further, the carriage gradually slowed to a stop. One of the guards climbed down first before opening the door for me."We're here, my lady."I looked at the guard for a moment before stepping out of the carriage. Hearing someone address me that way still felt strange, as though they were speaking to

Alle's POVThe guards moved. One of them stepped closer, hand already moving to the chains.Lowell’s eyes never left mine. “Then you’ll wish you had stayed quiet.”In what looked like an hour, the guard pushed me into the cell as they locked it behind me.I stayed quiet most of the time and I slept off at some point until the sound of a lock turning pulled me from my sleep.I looked toward the iron door as it slowly opened. A beam of light slipped into the dungeon, forcing me to shield my eyes. I had no idea how long I had been locked in there. The tiny window above my head had never been enough to tell whether it was day or night.A pair of polished black boots came into view before the rest of him followed. Alpha Lowell stopped outside the cell and looked at me."Open it."One of the guards hurried forward and unlocked the chains around my wrists. I rubbed them absentmindedly while waiting for Lowell to say something else.Instead, he turned around."Come."I quietly followed him ou

Alle's POV"Arise."The voice pulled me out of my confusion.My knees lifted from the cold floor before I could understand why I was obeying.I looked up.A man stood before me, tall and dressed in black. His deep blue eyes met mine, and for a moment, I forgot the pain in my knees and the unfamiliar place around me.Then a hand struck the back of my head."Lower your head!" the man beside me whispered. "Alpha Lowell is looking, and you dare stare at him?"Alpha Lowell… ?The name stopped me.There was only one Alpha Lowell I knew, but that was impossible. He was a character I had created, a man who existed only inside the pages of my novel.I lowered my gaze and looked around again, trying to find an explanation for what I was seeing. The gray clothes worn by the servants, the black stone beneath my feet, and the red banners hanging from the walls were not unfamiliar.I knew this place because I had created every detail of it.My eyes slowly returned to the man standing before us.
