***AURORA***

The moment those words left Cassian's mouth, the temperature in the hallway suddenly dropped, and everything else seemed to hold its breath. For a minute, I completely forgot about everything else except for one face bugging my mind—my father's.

There's no way Cassian knew anything. Of course, he must be bluffing to make me spare him some attention. But the way he looked at Ronan when he said those words…

My thoughts got interrupted as Cassian started walking towards me, eyes fixed

    ***ERNESH***I ran. I didn’t feel my feet hit the ground—I didn’t feel anything except the panic drilling through my ribs as I tore through the corridor toward the courtroom doors. Voices leaked through the cracks before I reached them—too loud, too frantic, too late. My chest tightened. My throat burned.They had started without me.I shoved the doors open.Torches flickered against the walls. Bodies packed on the benches. Logan knelt at the center of the room, hands bound, head bowed so low it looked like he was already giving up. Derrick stood beside him, jaw locked, eyes unreadable.And then—The witch placed her hand on Logan’s head—not cautiously. Just slammed her palm against his skull like she already knew what she wanted to see.In less than three heartbeats, she screamed. A horrible, tearing sound.“He is not part of us!” she shouted, voice cracking into something feral. “He has something devilish in him—something dark—something that has swallowed his soul whole!”The courtr

    ***ELDER NEIL***“Stupid child,” I smacked my lips as the call ended with Sonya.I pulled the phone from my ear, and stared at it until the screen turned off. Only then did I switch it on again . I navigated through my contacts and dialed Ernesh Smoke’s contact.The line rang four times, then he picked.“Hello,” he said in a cold tone.“I'd like us to meet,” I muttered. “9PM tonight.”A soft chuckle came from the other end of the line. “You're no longer useful to me, old man. I've found a better chess player.”“Are you out of your mind?” My voice croaked. “You don't talk to me like that.”He chuckled again, shorter this time. “Bye, Elder Neil.”Then the line went dead.I scoffed, then threw the phone on the couch. “I'm going to destroy you and whatever game you're playing.”I sat still, tapping my finger against my thigh. Then I picked my phone and navigated into my messenger. I scrolled till I found the group created for me and my allies and clicked on it.“There's going to be an eme

    ***LANDON***“I want you to look into every nook and cranny,” I said, lifting my hand and pointing toward the projection on the wall.Serena’s face filled the wall behind me, reminding me of how crazy things have been for me lately.“Bring her back to me.”“Yes, sir,” the room echoed.Questions flooded afterwards, and I tried my best to respond to all. Every man in the hall stood straight when they spoke. No one dared meet my eyes for long.“That will be all,” I said soon as the last speaker finished, gripping the microphone harder. “Whoever finds her gets ten thousand dollars.”For a moment, there was silence.Then the hall erupted. Laughter broke out in sharp bursts, followed by jeers and careless comments thrown into the air.I stayed where I was, grounding myself, before finally exiting the stage.The jeering grew louder until a sudden burst of static ripped through the speakers.The sound was harsh enough to make several men flinch. The hall went quiet, only a few voices overlapp

    ***SERENA***“Shit… I'm late.” The words slipped out of my mouth as soon as I saw the clock.I was already moving before my body caught up with the panic. I grabbed my bag, shoved my feet into my shoes, and pulled the door open without checking myself in the mirror. The hallway was quiet, which somehow made it worse. Outside, the city carried on normal. Cars blaring horns loudly. Drivers swearing at each other for reckless driving. I stepped into it and let the noise swallow me whole, keeping my head down and my pace steady until the garment factory came into view.The building looked extravagant and beautiful. The entire building was carved from glass, looming high into the sky.“I can do this,” I said to myself. “I'm going to do just fine.”Then, I pushed through the glass doors.I walked in short measured steps towards the receptionist sitting behind a counter and as soon as I was close enough, she looked up—her fingers still moving over the keyboard.“Yes?”“I’m here for a job.”

    ***LANDON***I squeezed the life out of the flowers that I was holding as I stared at the both of them kissing and throwing themselves on each other like they had been starved of each other.My best friend, Arnold, and my childhood love, Tiffany.After issuing Serena the annulment letter, I drove to the airport as I had heard that Tiffany was going to be returning to the States that day. I guessed Arnold had beaten me to it considering the scene unfolding in front of me.“Hello.” My voice was hoarse, my wolf shifting restlessly beneath my skin as I looked at them with quiet scrutiny."Hi, Landon." Tiffany shrieked and hugged me briefly before disengaging, but my glare lingered on Arnold's hand intertwined with hers."I didn't know you both were involved...." I trailed off when Arnold's eyes widened and then his mouth opened.“Oh, I did tell you my girlfriend would be returning next month, yeah? She's a month early."I stared at both of them, unable to wrap my head around the situation

    ***SERENA***“Seriously?” I said to myself. “You're just going to lay me off after using me for three years?”Weight settled against my shoulders as I packed. I folded slowly, careful with each piece of clothing, as if the way I handled them might decide whether I was allowed to leave at all. The room was so quiet that every movement I made felt loud in my ears.“Where will you go now?”Elena’s voice came from behind me.I didn’t turn right away. My fingers smoothed down the dress in my hand harder than needed. “I don’t know,” I mumbled. Then, after a moment. “I’ll just go somewhere far away.”She scoffed, then took small steps closer to me. The mattress dipped slightly as she reached for a blouse and began folding it gently beside me. She placed it neatly into my bag, then reached for another.“You don’t have to help,” I said.“I know,” she replied. “But I want to.”That made me look at her.“Why?” I asked. “Landon is your boss, and you have no obligation to me anymore.”She smiled
