LILA POV

"Why, then, does the soul fall in love with its oppressor? For it is not the body that suffers in this union, but the spirit itself, bound by invisible chains. If love is but a reflection of the divine, then the moon goddess herself must be a cruel architect of our suffering."

NO!

I leaned back against the bench, my fingers clenched tightly around the fabric of my bag. The hospital hallway was silent around us, and for a moment, I thought maybe the entire world was holding its breath, waiting for me to say something, anything.

But I couldn't speak. My throat was dry, the words locked inside, fighting to escape.

Ava's words echoed in my head, over and over again, louder than anything else. You've fallen in love with him.

No. I couldn't. I didn't, did I?

I blinked rapidly, willing the truth to sink in, but it felt like the ground was sinking beneath me. Love? How could I love him after everything? After all he did to me? To my life? To our son life's?

    AVAMy head is heavy, feels like I have a third world war dancing in there. My eyelids are heavy, barely lifting. And when they do... I don't recognize this place."Where am I?"Flashes. Flash by flash. I remember getting a call from Derrick's school... and Jared drugging me.Oh fuck!Nicklaus warned me. But of course, I wanted to play the tough girl... Oh damn it!I'm not tied, surprisingly. I stumble to the door, the same one that had me chained in, and of course, it's locked."Where the fuck am I?" I yell, hoping someone, anyone hears me.The door suddenly swings open, and Jared walks in, he has no shirt on. And fuck all those times I used to drool over him.Now? All I see is a man so evil. A man so vile.But one thing I still don't get, what does he want from Derrick and me?"What do you want, Jared? Or is your name even Jared? I mean, a real mob hides under a façade."I'm staring at him, arms folded across my chest, chin high.I know exactly what's going through his head, he thin

    LILAMy heart is pounding heavily. Thump. Thump. Thump. Derrick is missing... That's the one word that keeps replaying in my head. The one word that's enough to make my heart accelerate this fast.What has happened? How?"This is what we get finally for neglecting our pup. This is karma punishing us," Lola whined painfully.Rafael and Nicklaus stepped out to talk for a bit. My instincts tell me it's something related to the curse eating me... I had been nervous waiting for him to come back, but right now... that's my least concern.I'm more concerned about the fact that my son-our son, Rafael and I's-is missing.How did it happen? I barely have an enemy to pin this on. Ava wasn't the type to go around creating one either. Instead, if there's anyone she had told me had been more of a stalker, it was Nicklaus. And Nicklaus knows better than to kidnap Derrick and use him against Ava.I'm not thinking as I slide into a casual gown... grabbing Rafael's car key that was on the vanity table,

    AVA"You've got such a hot body, I could kill to get you," Jared breathes, his words fanning over my nose as he tugs me closer like I'm some trophy he just scored.I chuckle low, cocking my head. "What? Like you bribed Mr. Brown just to get me off work today?" I ask, voice soaked in sarcasm. "You really pulled strings with the almighty Mr. Brown... just for a few hours of me?"He grins, completely unapologetic. "Ugh, don't act so shocked. At least now I've got you to myself, alone, before Derrick gets out of school and ruins everything."I snort, pulling back slightly. "Oh please. He's seven. You're a grown-ass man acting like you're competing with a kid for my attention.""I am competing." He groans dramatically. "That boy has you wrapped around his finger 24/7.""As he should," I say with a smirk. "He's my son. You? You had to buy me a day off just to play boyfriend."Jared sighs, flopping onto the couch like a man who just lost a war. "Can't believe I'm jealous of a second grader."

    LILAI'm going to die. Die. Three words, short, and cruel. But powerful enough to drown me in dread.Turns out my mom was protecting me all along... even if her version of protection meant breaking Rafael piece by piece. Even if her love wore the face of the villain.It doesn't justify anything. But she loved me, i know that. I was all she had left after he died. All she clung to after Theo left the face of this world.I was young. Naive. Loud-mouthed. But even then, I could see her pain. The way she cried quietly at night. The way she never let me see her fall apart in the daylight.She raised me like a soldier, sent me to the best academies, made sure I could fight, survive, win.Only for all of it to shatter... the moment Rafael knocked on our door.Now, I'm trying to piece together two truths: That she hurt the man I love.And she did it to save me.If the curse consumes me, if my love for Rafael isn't strong enough to fight it, there's a ninety-five percent chance I'll die.What

    RAFAEL My head is a mess. Ever since the encounter with Linda, the Seer confirmed what I feared.The curse is powerful enough to eat her alive. And it all depends.Depends on how much she loves me.On how strong the bond between us truly is.I can't sleep. Even though Lila tries her best to make me feel okay... I just can't.I turn to the other side of the bed, eyes fixed on the bathroom door.I'm waiting for her to come out.She steps out, towel wrapped around her chest, water dripping down her collarbone. Her legs, long and graceful, trail seductively toward me.My breath hitches as she climbs onto the bed, crawling up my thighs.My lips part to protest, but she shuts me up with a single finger.One minute, she's straddling me.My hands are cuffed to the bedpost.She's like a damn sexy dominatrix.The next... She draws out a knife from beneath the towel.And I gasp. "What's going on, Lila?" "What's going on?" she repeats, voice low and dangerous."The moon goddess knows I want to

    LILA"You don't say. This is the moon goddess rewriting our story... We're meant to be, Rafael," I replied to his sassy comment.In as much as I'm mad at him for marking me unaware, I realize what it is now... it was Ace in control.You have no idea how ecstatic I am, staring at the one man who ruined my universe, ruined me... and now, staring at me like he's the dream man I've dreamt about.My mate.The moon goddess knows that I had already made up my mind to leave. Because in the end, I'm only protecting my son... and protecting him too.I had it all figured out. I was going to walk out on him, and then he'd be mad at first. But then, I'd bring up Derrick... and he'd end up hating me forever and would be triggered to find his mate and live-if not for anything, for Derrick, and for getting back at me.Knowing Rafael, he lives for revenge. Breathes revenge.Him marking me wasn't something I saw coming. And as a matter of fact, the twist of us being mates? And his curse being broken?O
