Lucy's POV

We reached the hall, and Shaun gently placed me on my feet. He didn't move away from me, but instead hung close. If he wanted to, it would have been so easy for him to wrap his arm around me and press me to his body. But, I got assurance from the fact that he was close by, and nothing would happen to me.

Inside the hall, stood people whose faces I couldn't recognise. They all wore the same uniform of black leather from head to toe, making them appear like shadows even in broad daylight. They had gathered at the center of the hall, watching me in silence. From their demeanor alone, I knew that they didn't belong here with us.

"After seeing Livia and your uncle, I didn't think you'd come," she said as she pulled me away from the entrance and I picked up a glass of wine from one of the stewards. "I have so much to tell you.." "Likewise Elara.." I responded after taking a sip of the raw alcohol. The liquid left a burning sensation in my throat down to my chest. Exactly what I needed for a night like this. "I almost didn't come, but I couldn't let my uncle and his d

I’d already wasted too much time, and the longer I stayed in that house, the louder my thoughts became.So, at the break of dawn, I set out.The journey to Scott’s estate was a long one—four days of forest paths, wet valleys, and steep climbs, all softened by the steady rhythm of my horse’s hooves and the silence of my own thoughts.

The last slivers of sunlight painted the high stone walls in amber, and the torches by the front gate had been lit.A guard
