FAZER LOGINMila’s pov…By the time the sun dipped below the horizon, I felt like my body no longer belonged to me.I was so sore and all my muscles ached like hell.I wiped my hands on the edge of my dress, stepping back from the storage area where we had been sorting supplies.Hansel stretched beside me with a groan.“If I do one more chore, I’m collapsing right here.”I huffed faintly and smiled at her“You’ve been saying that for hours.”“And I mean it every time.”I glanced at her.“You’ll be fine.”She gave me a look.“You’re very unsympathetic for someone who almost died yesterday.”“Trauma builds character.”She snorted.“I’m going to build character by sleeping for two days straight.”I almost smiled.She still found a way to make things feel… lighter.We started walking back toward the house, patrol was tighter now and the pack was back to how it was.Hansel nudged me.“You’re quiet again.”“I’m just tired.”“Liar.”I sighed.“Can I just be tired for once?”She narrowed her eyes at me.“
Mila’s POV“There’s a spy.”Of course there was, I was the spy.I looked around and tried to keep my best poker face, Bastian attacked when we all left but I didn’t give him that information.“Get him to the healer,” Knox ordered sharply pointing at Caleb who was still healing slowly.Conrad nodded immediately and helped Caleb up, they whispered to each other and kept on moving.I followed them to ensure Caleb was fine.The healer’s chambers were already filled with injured pack members.The scent of blood and herbs mixed in the air was thick and suffocating.People groaned softly and some were unconscious and barely holding on.My stomach twisted, Bastian meant war.Caleb was laid carefully onto one of the beds.The healer moved quickly, her hands already glowing faintly as she examined his wounds.“Deep lacerations,” she muttered. “Poison traces… possibly wolfsbane.”My heart dropped, they were cruel.“Will he be okay?” I asked quickly, the healer didn’t look up.“If he survives the
Mila’s POV“Yes, Knox… I do.”The words stayed with me long after I left him, what did he even expect?I didn’t even look back as I walked away, I couldn’t.Because if I did if I saw his face i wasn’t sure I would be able to stand by what I said.And I needed to because I had to be sure if something and hating Knox was the only thing I was do sure of.I wrapped my arms around myself as I walked back to my room trying to steady the storm inside me.Knox kissing me, Knox asking me that question.It was all tangled together in a way I couldn’t separate.And I hated it.I hated that he could make me feel so many things at once.I pushed the door to my room open, Hansel was still there but she was sitting on the bed wide awake.The moment she saw me, her eyes narrowed.“What happened?”I closed the door behind me.“Nothing.”She snorted.“Try again.”I sighed, walking further into the room.“I just… talked to Knox.”Her brows shot up.“And?”I hesitated then threw myself onto the bed drama
Knox’s POV……Something wasn’t right i felt it the moment we stepped into this place.Eryland.It looked peaceful and perfect and I had learned a long time ago Anything that looks perfect usually isn’t.I stood outside the chamber where Mila had been taken, my arms crossed and my jaw tight my eyes fixed on the door.“She went in alone” Nikal grumbled He’s been on edge since we got here “Relax, she’s probably fine” I told him She had gone in alone alone the healer and I didn’t like it not one bit.Conrad leaned against the wall nearby, watching me in that quiet, knowing way of his.“You’re wearing a hole through the floor,” he said.I didn’t respond because I didn’t have the time for his jokes.I pushed off the wall.“I’m going in.”Conrad straightened up“You were told to wait.”“I don’t care.”I reached for the door and it opened before I could touch it.The healer stepped out and locked her eyes on me.“Where is she?” I asked immediately.“She has gone to understand,” she replied.
Mila — POVThe pain didn’t feel real at first it was too sharp, Like my body couldn’t even process it fast enough.One second I was staring at her, at my mother and the next a cold metal slid into my chest.A strangled scream tore from my throat and my body jerked violently as the force drove me backward.The world fractured and the lights twisted i could feel it, the blade buried deep inside me“M-Mom…?” I choked.My voice came out broken and weak, her face crumpled instantly.Tears spilled down her cheeks as she held onto me, as if trying to keep me from falling apart.“I’m sorry—” she whispered, her voice shaking. “I’m so sorry, Mila…”Her hands trembled as she pressed against the wound.“What did I do?” She criedShe pressed against the wound but it didn’t work, nothing helped.The pain spread outward like fire, crawling through my veins and sinking into my bones.My knees buckled and I collapsed against her, gasping for air that wouldn’t come.“Why…?” I whispered, Her arms wrappe
Mila’s pov….“Mom…?”The word came out as a whisper, I said it quietly like if I said it too loudly, she would disappear.But she didn’t, she just stood there, smiling at me.My chest tightened painfully even if I had never truly remembered her faceSomething deep inside me recognized it.Her eyes softened as she stepped closer.“Mila.”My name on her lips broke something inside me.I didn’t even realize I was crying until the tears blurred my vision.“You’re… you’re really here?” I asked shakily.She nodded gently.“Yes.”I shook my head slightly.“This has to be a dream.”“It isn’t.”Her voice was calm as she kissed my head“But—you’re dead,” I whispered.A flicker of something passed through her eyes like sadness but not regret.“I am,” she said softly and my breath hitched.“Then how—?”“This place,” she gestured lightly around us, “holds memories, truths, Pieces of what once was.”I swallowed hard.“So you’re… a memory?”She smiled faintly.“If that makes it easier for you to un

Mila's pov…“Wake up Luna” I groaned “Leave me alone Hansel”She huffed “Isobel asked me to get you ready”I sat up slowly in bed, the faint ache in my body reminding me I still needed th rest and the herbs for the incomplete bond was making me tired. My fingers brushed my neck unconsciously
Mila's POV…I walked into my room and closed the door behind me.I looked at the moon through my window. “I hope it all works out” I whispered “We should have punches her though” Rina mumbled I rolled my eyes at her but my heart was still racing from the confrontation with Kreda in the hallway,
Mila's POV..I hate Bastain Mercer.It was still very early when I made my way to the hidden room Bastian had prepared for me. The air was crisp, carrying the faint scent of the forest, and the soft rustle of leaves beneath my feet seemed louder than usual, like the world itself was watching me be
