EMILY’S POV

It had been three whole days since that awful moment in the garden with Joe, and yet no one had told me anything about what had happened afterward.

Every morning I woke up expecting someone to knock on my door and tell me that Joe had been sent away or punished—or at least that Lucas had confronted him. But each morning came and went.

At first, I tried to convince myself that maybe Lucas didn’t want to worry me, that he was handling everything quietly. But after the third day, I co

    Emily POVI could not stop thinking about what I had felt.Even after Lucas carried me back to our room.Even after he sat beside me for almost an hour, refusing to leave until he was sure I was alright.Even after I promised him three different times that I was not about to collapse.My mind would not let it go.The others.That was what scared me.Not the creature we had just destroyed.The others.The moment that thing disappeared, I had felt something.A reaction.Like ripples spreading across water.Like distant eyes suddenly opening.I knew it sounded crazy.But it was true.Somehow, I knew they had felt it.And somehow...They now knew where I was.I sat by the window while dawn slowly approached.The sky was turning gray.Birds were beginning to sing.Everything looked peaceful.Normal.But nothing about my life was normal anymore.A few weeks ago, I had been planning a wedding.Now I was apparently some ancient power carrier who was attracting monsters from underground.I lau

    Emily's POVI knew something was wrong the moment Lucas carried me back to our room.My body felt weak. It was as though something inside me had been stretched too far.I could still walk if I forced myself to.I could still speak.But every part of me felt drained.Lucas did not let me take a single step on my own.The moment we entered the room, he carried me straight to the bed and sat beside me.His face was tense.His jaw was locked tightly.I could tell he was trying not to show how worried he was.Unfortunately for him, I knew him too well now."You should rest," he said.I smiled weakly."You have said that at least ten times tonight.""I'll say it another ten."That actually made me laugh a little.The laugh quickly faded when I remembered what had happened in the hallway.The shadow.The connection.The way it had felt.I looked down at my hands.They looked normal.Completely normal.Yet I could still remember the feeling.It had not been a conversation.Not exactly.But so

    Lucas POVI stood there for several seconds with Emily weak against my chest while the corridor remained completely still around us. The lights had stopped flickering, the shaking had ended, and the cold pressure in the air was finally gone, yet none of it made me relax. If anything, the quiet made my thoughts louder. Emily’s words repeated themselves inside my head.The others felt it too.That meant they were connected somehow.Not by sight.Not by sound.Something deeper.Something worse.I tightened my arm around Emily carefully and looked down at her. Her face had gone pale, and there was sweat gathered near her forehead despite how cold the corridor had been moments ago.“You need to sit down,” I told her quietly.“I’m fine,” she whispered immediately.“You can barely stand.”“I said I’m fine.”Her voice was weak, but stubborn enough to almost make me sigh. Even exhausted, she still tried to fight everything alone.I bent slightly and lifted her into my arms before she could pro

    Lucas POVI was still holding Emily when the last trace of that thing disappeared, but my mind had already moved ahead of the moment. Her words kept repeating in my head. They felt it too. That was not just a warning. It was a fact. Whatever those things were, they were connected in a way we did not fully understand yet, and by destroying one of them, we had just sent a message to the rest.I tightened my hold on her slightly as I looked down at her face. She looked drained, far more than she had earlier. Her eyes were still open, but there was a dullness in them that had not been there before. It was not weakness. It was exhaustion. Deep exhaustion, the kind that came from something more than just the body.“Emily,” I said quietly.She blinked slowly and looked up at me, her lips parting slightly as if she wanted to speak, but nothing came out at first. I could feel her breathing against me, uneven now, like her body was trying to catch up with what had just happened.“You need to re

    Lucas POVI stood there for a few seconds longer, still holding Emily in my arms, my eyes fixed on the spot where the shadow had been. Nothing remained. No mark, no trace, nothing to show that something unnatural had just existed there. But I knew better than to trust what I could see. The absence of something dangerous did not mean it was gone. Sometimes it only meant it had moved.Emily’s weight shifted slightly against me, and I looked down at her. Her eyes were still open, but they were heavy now, her strength drained from whatever she had just done. Her breathing was slow, uneven, like her body was trying to catch up with what had just happened.“We need to get you back,” I said quietly.She nodded faintly, but she didn’t speak.I did not wait any longer. I lifted her properly into my arms and turned back down the corridor. The guards moved out of the way immediately, their eyes filled with questions they did not dare ask. I ignored them. Right now, nothing mattered more than get

    Lucas’ POVThe corridor was narrow, lit only by weak yellow bulbs hanging from the ceiling at wide intervals. Some flickered, others buzzed softly, casting broken shadows that moved when nothing else did. Every step echoed, even though I tried to keep my boots quiet.Behind me, Chris followed, then

    Emily’s POVI didn’t know how many days had passed anymore.I sat on the cold floor of the room, my knees pulled to my chest, and my back against the wall. My wrists were no longer tied all the time, but the guards never left. Even when they stepped away, I knew they were close. Watching. Waiting.

    Chris’ POVI stood outside the council hall long after Lucas dismissed everyone. The echoes of his anger still rang in my ears. His voice had been cold and unforgiving. He had drawn a line so deep in the sand that anyone who crossed it would never return.And I understood why.Once again, Joe had t

My stomach twisted in slow, painful knots. The room was quiet, too quiet, the kind of quiet that made eve
