Elvira

I turned back to see if Alpha Jaxon had followed me but the space was empty, and then I turned back to the figure in front of me as if I didn’t hear them call me clearly.

The figure stood still. Now closer to the figure, I found out it was a hoodie not a cloak, the hood drawn low over their face, hands buried deep inside the hoodie’s front pocket. But something in the way they stood made the hairs on the back of my neck rise. I squinted through the moonlight filtering between the tall trees, the silhouette more familiar than I wanted it to be.

Then, the figure reached up and pushed the hood back just enough for their face to be partially revealed.

My breath caught. Elyra? How?

My mouth went dry, my fingers curling tightly around the edge of my robe. My feet wanted to take a step forward, but my mind screamed otherwise. My vision clouded with disbelief, questions rising.

“Elyra,” I said finally, my voice clipped, cautious but soft. “What are you doing here? How did you even fin

    Kara I used to believe that time softened all wounds. That the ache in my chest when I saw Jaxon with her would dull into something manageable. Something bearable. But time lies. Because it still stabs into me, every look he gives Elvira, every soft word, every touch. He was mine before all of this. Before her. Before the war. Before the prophecy. And now, he’s not. The first time I heard their bond was cursed, my heart had stuttered with hope. Not because I wanted them to suffer, well, maybe part of me did, but because it meant what they had wasn’t real. That maybe, just maybe, Jaxon would finally open his eyes and see me. Not the healer, not the loyal childhood friend. Me…Kara. The woman who has loved him in silence for years. The woman who held him through every storm Lila brought, who picked up his shattered pieces when she left him bleeding, when he thought no one else would stay. But he never looked at me the way he looks at Elvira. Never whispered my name like it was a

    Deric I stared at my reflection, at the faint bruise across my jaw, Carlton’s parting gift. The skin had darkened to a shadowy purple edged with yellow, the mark didn’t just fade, even though I had been rubbing on it for hours now, it lingered. Like his voice when he said, “Prey” Prey. I leaned forward and pressed my fingertips into the sink’s cold porcelain. My temples throbbed. I’d downed half a bottle of whiskey before noon, and still, the pain behind my eyes burned. I wasn’t sure which was worse, the slap or the silence that came after. My phone buzzed again. A name blinked across the cracked screen for the sixth time this hour. Elyra. I let it ring. Again and Again. I let my mind wander to Elvira then suddenly stopped myself. What the hell am I even doing? I splashed cold water on my face and winced when it hit the bruise. It throbbed, and I welcomed it. At least pain was real. At least it gave me something to hold onto. The door slammed open. I didn’t need to turn ar

    Elvira It felt like I was floating or maybe falling. Everything around me blurred, no sense of time, no strength in my limbs, no voice to scream. Just the cold, then the heat. My skin prickled with cold, and then melted into heat. A scent pulled me back from the void. Jaxon. My lashes fluttered open. Light pressed against the back of my eyes. I shifted, or tried to. My body groaned in protest, muscles stiff, head pounding with an ache that rooted behind my eyes. “Elvira?” His voice. I blinked, disoriented. White sheets, a beige ceiling. The faint hum of a heater somewhere nearby. A large hand brushed a damp strand of hair off my cheek. Fingers warm, careful, like I’d break if he pressed too hard. “You’re awake,” Jaxon whispered. I tried to speak but only managed a dry rasp. “Water,” he said quickly. “Hold on.” He was gone and back within seconds. A cold glass pressed to my lips. His other hand slid under my head, lifting me gently as he tilted the glass. Cool liquid spilled

    DericThe moment I stepped into Carlton’s underground compound, I felt it, the war I started. The air was filled with tension, as if the walls themselves braced for impact. His men stood in rigid silence, their expressions carefully blank, but their eyes darted to one another in quiet panic. I already knew what it was.Carlton knew Elvira was gone.I had barely taken three steps before the doors slammed shut behind me. The echo bounced off the metallic walls like a gunshot, and when I turned, I saw Carlton, in his navy blue suit, wine glass in hand, his eyes sharper than broken glass.“You think I’m a goddamn fool?” His voice snapped through the air, laced with venom.I didn’t answer. Nobody did.“Do you know what happens when you insult a man like me? You bleed for it.” He threw the glass at the wall beside me. Red wine splattered like blood.I didn’t flinch.He marched forward, his boots clicking against the floor like a countdown to destruction. “Who the hell let her out?” he roare

    Elvira My knees scraped the concrete as I fell, gasping. Suddenly I find myself in another space. The last events now blurry. The cold air hit my lungs as though I’d been underwater for too long. The pain in my head pulsed like war drums, each beat reminding me I was still alive… and somehow trapped. But then I heard it, footsteps. Not the heavy boots of the guards who usually came with leering smiles and syringes. These were lighter, faster, anxious. “Hey,” a familiar voice hissed, just as the steel door groaned open. My heart stopped. “Callan?” I blinked, stunned. My hands flew up as if to shield myself from the memory of his betrayal, of being dragged here, blindfolded, drugged, and betrayed. He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he rushed toward me, a hooded jacket in one hand and what looked like a stolen keycard in the other. “We don’t have time. You need to trust me.” “Trust you?,” I spat. “Where’s Brielle? Where is she!” “Lower your tone,” he snapped, jaw clenched.

    Jaxon I slammed the car door harder than necessary. The sharp thud echoed through the quiet street outside Kairo’s company. The moment I stormed into the building, I didn’t wait for the receptionist to buzz me in. I knew the layout, I’d been here more than once when Kairo was pretending to help me. Glass doors parted automatically, and the sterile scent of disinfectant and designer furniture filled my nose. He had the nerve to send my calls to voicemail. His assistant spotted me first, her eyes widened, mouth parting to say something, but I raised my hand. “Don’t. He’ll see me now.” I didn’t wait for permission. My boots thudded against the polished hallway as I strode past her desk and shoved the office doors open. Kairo was behind his desk, sipping espresso like this was a normal goddamn Tuesday. That smug bastard didn’t even flinch when I marched toward him. He barely looked up. “You could knock, you know. There’s etiquette for these things—” I grabbed him by the collar, ha
