LOGINSeraphina's POVHours Later….My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I felt was the dull ache throbbing in my skull, followed by the pains that coursed all over my body.What the hell had happened? I thought, pressing a palm to my forehead.Just then, the memories of everything that had happened played out vividly in my mind—the ritual, the burning sensation in my mark, and the darkness that had consumed me.“Now, the curse is broken,” Scarlett’s words echoed through me, and I sprang up to sit despite the weakness of my body.A small smile curled up my lips. Had the curse truly broken?I swung the duvet off me, wore the floppy indoor slippers by the bed, and made my way out of the room. I needed to ask if I had heard Scarlett correctly before I passed out.Just as I walked by the mirror, I saw it, and I paused instantly. I took a step backward and stepped closer to the mirror to assess my neck. There was no mark there anymore. In fact, it looked like I had never been marked. Just

Sera's POVI heard the sound of sharp footsteps behind me as I sat in front of the Buddha frame at the Great temple, my hands were clasped together in silent but desperate prayers. I did not really believe in the Goddess, but Anita solely trusted in her until the very end and that was enough for me.“Guide your daughter back safely, Moon,” that was the only prayer I'd chorused in the past three days.“You can take a break now,” Lysander's voice was quiet.I did not respond. He had been trying for the past three days to pull me out of here, but nah, I wouldn't leave, relax and sleep on a warm, soft bed while someone was going through a near-death experience for me—for us.“Anita is back, Phina,” Lucien added.I froze completely. I snapped my eyes open and turned back at them. “What did you say?” I couldn't believe them. It might have been a lie, anything just to get me to leave the temple. “Are you playing pranks on me?”They nodded. “She is truly back and she asked for you,” Lysander
Forest Of EvilAuthor's POVThe Forest of Evil swallowed Anita the moment she stepped in, and everything about it felt wrong in a way she could not explain because even though she knew it was morning outside, inside the forest there was nothing but thick, suffocating darkness that refused to let in even the smallest hint of sunlight, and the little lamp she carried in her hand barely helped as its weak glow struggled against the heavy shadows surrounding her.Fear settled deep in her chest as she walked carefully, her steps slow and uncertain while her eyes darted around nervously because the forest did not feel empty, it felt alive in the worst possible way, and she could sense the presence of creatures lurking around her, hovering just beyond the reach of her light, watching her every move without revealing themselves fully.Sometimes she caught glimpses of them, distorted shapes with glowing eyes and unnatural forms that made her heart pound wildly, and even though they did not att
Sera's POV“Tell me you're joking, Anita?” I blurted out, my eyes scanning her face with my mouth wide in disbelief.Anita shook her head. “Why would I joke with something so serious as this?” she asked, her expression remaining calm like she wasn't aware of the place she had just mentioned; she must have thought it was just the next neighbouring pack or something. “She stays at the Forest of Evil,” she repeated more firmly, and it resonated in my mind with an intensity that made me lose control completely.My legs grew weak and I stumbled back onto the chair, my fingers gripping the edges of the table as colour drained from my face.Lysander held me by my shoulders, caressing them gently. “Forest of Evil? Isn't that the popular dangerous forest where outlaws are banished to, filled with various types of evil no one has survived to talk about?”“Yeah, it is,” Anita affirmed. “I heard she is staying there because a lot of people had either attempted to murder her in the past or tried t
Sera's POV“We did not only come here for reconciliation, Anita,” I said, setting my cutleries down and dabbing the napkin on my lips.I fixed my gaze on her as she munched on her food quietly. She looked better than earlier. Her skin was no longer gloomy and even her hair was glistening, probably brushed and shampooed.“We also came because we needed your help, Anita. We wanted to know if there was any way that we could be saved. All of us. My babies, I, and my mate. Anyway that could truly be saved, Anita,” I quickly added. “And please… don't tell us to stay away from each other. We've tried it and saw that it wasn't possible. It was no different from a death sentence.”She smiled faintly. “Of course, I would never tell you to do that. I have seen the love that the three of you share, so I know staying apart is a dead end.”“Good.” I was glad she knew. I took a sip of water before I continued speaking. “So, is there anything that could be done?”“Actually… there is something.”The t
Author’s POVThe next morning, they woke up muttering greetings to one another, and things were quite awkward between them. They couldn’t stare at each other for too long. Maybe it was because of the way their hearts beat for one another, or the fact that the room now appeared smaller than it had t
