Evelyn’s POV

I don’t know what I expected when Christian said Tyler was alive, but it sure as hell wasn’t this.

We moved through the wreckage like shadows in a nightmare. Blood soaked the marble tiles beneath our feet, mixing with ash, torn fabric, and something I really didn’t want to identify. Christian led the way with an eerie calm, like this chaos was just another Tuesday for him.

And then, we saw him.

Tyler.

He stood in the middle of what used to be Lucien Darkhen’s grand hall, but now looked like a war zone. Walls cracked, bodies littered the floor like discarded meat, and in the center of it all, Tyler had Lucien by the throat,literally. His claws dug into the Alpha’s pale skin, tightening with deadly precision. His other arm? Rammed straight through Lucien’s chest. The exact same way Lucien had done to him

I froze. My heart stopped. No, my whole body stopped.

Tyler… was alive. Breathing. Bleeding. Shaking with fury. But undeniably alive.

    Evelyn’s POVEverything felt like it was moving in slow motion.The light pierced through my eyelids before I could even open them. Too damn bright. I squinted, letting my lashes flutter just a little, trying to ease into it. My head felt heavy, like someone had dropped a brick into my skull. For a second, I thought I was dreaming, floating between the ache and the haze, but then the pain in my abdomen reminded me, in a cruel flash, that this was very much real.I let out a soft groan, blinking until the ceiling above me came into focus. White. Sterile. Familiar. It smelled like alcohol, antiseptic, and faint lavender, Dr. Ava’s signature scent.I was in a hospital.No… Ava’s hospital.“Shit,” I muttered under my breath and tried to sit up.Bad idea.The second I shifted, a sharp stab of pain shot through my lower abdomen, and I gasped, collapsing back onto the bed. My arm clutched my stomach on instinct. “Goddamn it,” I hissed, squeezing my eyes shut as I panted through the pain.T

    Evelyn's POVTwo weeks.It’s been two whole weeks since Lucien Darkhen’s heart was torn out and everything I knew cracked down the middle. The bloodshed. The chaos. The choices that none of us can ever take back. And yet here I am, barefoot on the dewy path of Bluestone’s eastern garden, pretending the world is soft again. It isn’t. Not really.I walk slowly, my fingers grazing the lavender bushes that line the old cobblestone path. The scent is familiar. Soothing. It’s the only thing that hasn’t changed.Everyone says it’s over. That we won. That the worst is behind us.But I can still feel it, that unease crawling at the back of my neck. Maya’s words echo in my mind like a warning bell. “Lucien was just the beginning. They’ll come for me… and they’ll come for you too.”I close my eyes, breathe in the sharp floral air, and try not to let the panic crawl up my throat. Maya wasn’t some frightened girl. She was calm when she said it. Certain. That’s what terrified me the most. She wasn’

    Evelyn’s POVThe second I saw his face, my legs moved on their own.“Christian!” I cried out, my voice shaky, uncertain if I was dreaming.He barely had time to react before I launched myself into his arms. The moment I collided with his chest, a tight breath left his lungs, and his arms instinctively wrapped around me. I buried my face in his shoulder, gripping the fabric of his shirt like it could somehow anchor me.“You’re alive,” I whispered, over and over, just to hear the words aloud. “You’re alive…”His arms tightened slightly, and I felt the slow rise and fall of his chest.It was only after what felt like forever that I pulled back, my eyes locking onto his face. His jaw was as sharp and set as ever, and his eyes still held that same glint of intensity, only now, they looked... worn. Like he'd seen something he wouldn't talk about.I didn’t realize tears had gathered until one slid down my cheek.“I thought you were dead,” I said softly, my voice cracking. “I thought they kil

    Evelyn’s POVI stepped closer to her. This woman, this Flare, looked like she could fall apart at any second, but somehow, when she lifted her head and looked at me, it was like she saw everything. Like she already knew the moment I would stand in front of her, that I’d ask questions, that I’d demand answers she barely had the strength to give.“You’ll be fine,” she whispered, her voice soft but certain. “But you need to go. The guards will be here any minute.”“No,” I said quickly, almost too quickly. “No, I’m not leaving. Not yet.”Her eyes, dim but still holding some flicker of life, searched mine. “Evelyn—”“I need to know,” I cut in. “How long have you been down here? Why are you down here? What happened to you?”She leaned her head against the stone wall behind her, a bitter smile curling at her dry lips. “I have the ability to see events before they happen… and sometimes, if the path is not yet fixed, I can change them.”She looked at me again, slower this time, like every wor

    Evelyn"Eve. I've been expecting you."Those five words echoed in my head like the toll of a bell.I stood there, frozen. My hand still on the edge of the red door, my breath shallow in my chest. My mind raced as my eyes studied the girl in front of me. Red hair, skin like porcelain, lips the soft shade of cherry blossoms. Chained. Tired. But her eyes, her eyes burned with recognition.I had never seen her before in my life.My knees wobbled slightly as I took a cautious step back, gripping the edge of the doorframe with clammy fingers. "What... what did you just say?" My voice cracked, low and uncertain.She blinked slowly. Her eyes were unnaturally bright. Not in a magical, sparkling way, but in a way that made your stomach twist—like she knew something terrible, and it lived behind her gaze."You heard me. Evelyn."I stared at her, the weight of her words dragging the breath from my chest. "How do you know my name? Who are you?" My voice cracked as I finally found the courage to

    Evelyn’s POV~Sixteen Years Ago~I was bored. Sooo bored.Mama said not to run around the house, but she wasn’t home. And Daddy was working again in his study with the big door that always stayed shut. Grown-ups always locked the fun stuff away, like they didn’t want little wolves like me to have any adventures.I tiptoed down the hallway in my fluffy socks. The wooden floor creaked a little and I giggled, covering my mouth like I was doing something super naughty, which I guess I was. I stopped in front of the big brown door with the shiny golden handle. Daddy’s study.“Locked,” I whispered to myself, trying to turn the knob.Of course it was locked. It always was. But that never stopped me before.I pulled out the little hairpin I always kept tucked behind my ear. Daddy once told me I was clever like Mama, and I think that’s why I liked sneaking around and opening stuff I wasn’t supposed to. It made me feel smart. Brave.I bent down, stuck the pin in the keyhole like I saw in one of

    Evelyn’s POVThe door creaked open under my hand.I stepped inside slowly, letting it close behind me with a dull, final thud that echoed like the shutting of a cage. The room was dim, the walls painted in deep shades of black and ash gray, almost like it was built to suffocate light. There was a fire burning low in the hearth, but it gave off little warmth—more shadows than flames.I stood there for a second, blinking as my eyes adjusted. The furniture was dark wood. The bed had a thick, carved frame, draped with heavy velvet sheets that looked far too luxurious to feel comforting. Everything in here screamed control, power, and cold elegance. But not safety. No. This place was far from safe.I wrapped my arms around myself as I moved further in, my footsteps nearly silent against the rug. The room felt hollow. Not physically—no, it was furnished well—but hollow in the way a soul-deep emptiness is. Like no matter how much beauty you layered on, the darkness always won."Tyler..." I

    EvelynThe cold stone walls seemed to stretch forever as we walked. The sounds of boots echoing behind us had faded the moment Aurora took a sharp turn and separated me from the others.I looked over my shoulder once, catching a glimpse of Alicia being pulled down another hallway, Raya close behind, her face pale with fear. Then the heavy wooden door slammed shut, and it was just me and her—Aurora.Her steps were firm, fast, like she was annoyed just having to walk beside me. She didn’t say a word. Not even a glance in my direction. Her black braid swung with every step, tight and precise like everything else about her.I had to speak.“So… where are we going?” I asked, trying to keep my voice even.No answer.I stared at the side of her face. Nothing. Not even a blink.“Hey,” I tried again. “I asked a question.”Still, silence.My boots scuffed against the stone floor. “Seriously? You’re just going to ignore me?”Aurora kept walking, straight-backed, calm, like I wasn’t even there.I
