One look. One whisper. One spark. He wants her back—obsessively, dangerously, completely.

In the old days at Ravenscroft, I thought power was about how many people feared you. I thought a legacy was built on the number of students and teachers you showed the extent of your power to. I thought the best thing to hear was the sound of people scurrying away once they sensed that either the horsemen or I was approaching.I was wrong……so fucking wrong. A part of me wondered what would have happened if Roxanne hadn't betrayed me, or if Matt hadn't betrayed Sloane. Would we be here right now? In this form of our nirvana? Or would we go on to live different lives, never even crossing paths?I tried to picture it. A life without Sloane, but no matter how hard I tried, it ended with us meeting. Whether I would be the CEO of some company, and she my secretary, or a rich heiress, I would hate it at first because of
EPILOGUE NINE.KAI’S POINT OF VIEWI’ve faced a psychotic mother, survived the pain of hunger and thirst as a child, and looked death in the eye without flinching. But standing in this delivery room, watching Aurora, my Green fight through the final stages of labor, I have never felt more terrified or more in awe."Almost there, Aurora. Just one more push and the baby is here…..i see the head," the doctor encouraged. Aurora’s face was pale, and glistening with sweat, her knuckles white as she crushed my hand.“Easy, deep breaths, baby…” I encouraged her as well, breathing with her, but she grabbed me even tighter, almost making me wince in pain. "Kai... if you... tell me to breathe... one more time...""I’m shutting up," I rasped quickly, leaning down to press my forehead against hers. "I’m right here. I’m not letting go."And then, with one final cry and one last push, my world stopped. A sharp, loud cry pierced the room, a sound so vibrant, so beautiful, and demanding that it could
EPILOGUE SIXAURORA’S POINT OF VIEW8 YEARS LATERThe sun was setting over the Mercer estate, but it didn't look like the fortress of shadows I had first entered as a broken girl. Now, it was a place of light… our eternal light.I stood in the nursery, my hand resting on the smooth, polished wood of the crib Kai had commissioned from a master craftsman in Italy. The walls were painted a light shade of green, almost teal looking, with so many toys lying around, you would think we were about to start a toy company.Kai was excited for the arrival of our daughter; so excited, he would not stop talking about our baby. Everyone else had their baby; we had a later start.For some reason, no matter what we tried, I wasn’t able to conceive. A series of tests, tears, and pain later, I decided to check, and boom….two pink lines. The second I informed Kai, he started setting up everything.Barely letting me lift a finger to even have my bath sometimes, Kai took over the chores, over my work with
CHAPTER 296: THE FIRE & THE ROSE [LUCIEN AND SLOANE] EPILOGUE FOUR SLOANE’S POINT OF VIEW The meadow behind the Ravenscroft estate was a sea of emerald, red roses, and wildflowers, a stark contrast to the cold, marble hallways where Lucien and I first began our war….the place it all began. I sat on a vintage quilt Lucien had shipped in from Dubai for me during my second pregnancy, leaning back on my elbows as I watched my husband. Lucien, the man who once used his sharp, dagger-like words to keep me at a distance, the king of Ravenscroft High who thought he could bully me into submission, was currently flat on his back in the grass. Ever since we’d gotten married, Lucien took it upon himself to ensure I never lacked anything. Even though I didn’t need it since I wasn’t the scholarship kid from years back in high school, Lucien made sure I never even had to ask before it was provided. Now, we’re together for a family picnic in a private park he rented out just for our privacy. The
