LOGIN~LYORADeath was coming for me.My heart was pounding hard as Cassian and Sylver held me down.I was struck between shock and horror. I didn’t know how to act.My whole life, I never thought death would come for me like this… I never thought this would be the end…And my daughters…My eyes slowly went to Odette and I saw that the calm she was trying to portray just moments ago was gone. It was replaced with fear.She was trembling in Rylan’s strong grip, unable to break free.“Lyora!” She snarled, trying one last time to kick out of his hold.“My child…” I mouthed, my tears masking my voice. “My poor child!”“You need to run, Lyora! Run!” She screamed.The pain in her voice made the moment stand still. And somehow, it was no longer Odette, the Old priestess… but my Nyra.Tears streamed down her eyes as she fought Rylan’s hold. “Mother, you need to run!”Her screams jolted me back to the moment and adrenaline pumped through me like a drug.I jumped to my feet, the sudden movement catch
~ODETTEHoly fucking goddess!My heart exploded as the new idiot jumped into my perfect plan. Ruining everything!“Shit!” Lyora cussed under her breath. “Not this guy again.”My senses instantly stood alert at her words. It was clear that the new fool wasn’t random.I scanned him carefully using Nyra’s memory paths. At first I found nothing, until I saw it.He was an old acquaintance of Lyon— the real Lyon. And his pathetic name was Kai.My eyes then took in everyone’s expression and it confirmed my discovery.Lyora’s eyes were wide as she tried to figure out what was going on…But I pieced it together.This Kai didn’t just stumble out of nowhere. He must have been the intuition the witch Kalista kept having.He must have been eavesdropping on their conversations and then trailed them all the way here…“Huh,” I scoffed as my racing heart calmed.Maybe my plans were ruined, but seeing the look on Varek’s face, it was clear that Kai didn’t know what he was up against.The fool thought h
~NYRA“Cassian, please don’t say that,” Rylan cried.But Cassian flashed him that smirk of his— The same one he always flashed whenever he was hurt…The same one he held as his armor while protecting everyone but dying inside…And even in this temple, he still chose to hide his pain behind that smirk and act like all was well!“Please, guys— you should leave. Break free from Varek,” he casually let out like it wasn’t his blood filling the damned rivers of blood outside!“Cassian, you can’t be serious!” Sylver growled. “We need to fight Varek together!”“I know, Sylver and that’s why I have to die,” he replied and I felt a ringing of rage start in my ears.“What?” I blurted in a slow tone that still managed to shake my core.His eyes met mine and his mask cracked. “I promise you that once I— once I finally succeed in staying dead, everyone will be free… You wouldn’t even need me—”“Enough!” I suddenly screamed, my emotions exploding. “How dare you say that Cassian? How dare you!?”His
~NYRAAs our bodies got thrown into Cassian’s prison, I felt myself being dragged into a different section.Confused, my eyes opened to find Odette.“What are you doing here?” I hissed, “We were about to save Cassian—”“Yes, I know and I am here to warn you!” She snarled, glaring at me like my impatience had no place before her.Rather than focus on her attitude, I ignored it and listened instead to the message.“No matter what happens in Cassian’s prison, do not get separated. All of you! Stay together or all this would have been in vain…”“I don’t understand.” I blurted.“There is no time to explain! Go back!” She pushed me and darkness instantly consumed me!I felt my body being dragged again. And this time, when I opened my eyes, I was back with the boys.We were still in the temple… Only this one looked different.It looked darker and the blood that flowed around us was fresh and thick…And Cassian— he was conscious.My eyes widened as I picked up his chants;“For Sylver…” he yel
~CASSIANMy heart dropped.“You must be erased from this world if you truly love your brothers… and your mate…”Before my brain could even finish processing all these, the darker version of me suddenly stabbed me.Pain shot through me as I gasped, unable to believe my own end…“What are you—” I tried to say, but blood spilled out of my mouth.He turned the dagger, pushing it deeper till the sickening sound of my crushing bones filled the air.I gasped as my eyes widened in horror. But he wasn’t done.He pulled out the dagger and proceeded to stab me even more like I was the villain in everyone’s lives…And every stab, reminded me of the very moment I became this villain while the words of the darker me, echoed like the theme song of my death…“You are an abomination… a curse… the villain…”As the pain of each assault went through my bones, I saw my last moments.It wasn’t filled with pain. It wasn’t bloody…It was the opposite— It was filled with laughter and love.I saw my brothers l
~CASSIANMy memories were still intact.I remembered everything that happened up until the moment Eryndor kidnapped us and forced us into the final lust— one of the final conditions of the convergence.Then, we had all drank from Nyra’s blood again.I could clearly see how we lost control of our consciousness, one after the other.I imagined that I would wake up in that same cave again. But when my eyes finally opened, I was somewhere else.And I was alone.My heart tightened. But I took deep breaths to access my location first. I needed to understand where I was, before I could help the others.My eyes slowly scanned the area. And I frowned.Where was I?I was standing in front of a large invisible barrier that glowed with my own memories.My head cocked to the side as I tried to read through what this could mean. Was I dead?Suddenly, I saw myself— the younger version of me on the other side. My throat squeezed as it clicked. It was the younger version of me on the day, everything b
~NYRACold air shot through me, freezing my blood into panic as I realized where I was and who had grabbed me.It was Sylver!He caught up to me as I was running to my room, ambushing me into his room.In Sylver’s room!Oh gods.My eyes widened as the realization of where I was clicked like an expl
~NYRA"H—help!" I stuttered as my legs staggered backwards in the direction of the house.My eyes could not look away from Danielle's lifeless body as a million dreadful thoughts crossed my mind.No, gods no... She couldn't die."Help! Somebody! Help me!" I finally found the strength to scream even
~NYRASilence filled the space as my eyes remained frozen on Danielle. Something wasn't right. Something wasn't adding up.She was smiling and calmly talking with Ried, just like she would normally do. Her body language didn't change, from what I have known her to be. Yet flashes of what I had se
~NYRA"I didn't see her..." I finally answered. "But I saw Danielle... Or a strange version of her."The image itself was still clear in my mind. But having to describe it, confused even my own ears. It sounded wrong.It sounded like something that wasn't even possible— because how could I even exp
