LOGINLilly's POV
"Lilly, it's me, Zack," the familiar voice answered, and I opened the door and let him in. He stepped inside, his expression a mix of concern and relief. "I was worried about you," he said softly, his eyes searching mine for any signs of distress.
"I'm okay," I reassured him, though I knew deep down that I was still grappling with the emotions swirling inside me.
"He seems a bit anxious," Asena said as he passed us.
I silently closed the door behind him
Lilly's POV"Lilly, it's me, Zack," the familiar voice answered, and I opened the door and let him in. He stepped inside, his expression a mix of concern and relief. "I was worried about you," he said softly, his eyes searching mine for any signs of distress."I'm okay," I reassured him, though I knew deep down that I was still grappling with the emotions swirling inside me."He seems a bit anxious," Asena said as he passed us.I silently closed the door behind him and followed him to the small sitting room. Zack had already taken a seat."Is something wrong?" I asked.Zack stayed quiet, his eyes staring down at his hands."Zack," I called, trying to get his attention. "What's bothering you?"He abruptly sighed and shifted his gaze toward me. "Mom and Dad," he said.My heart started to race, and I quickly went and sat down next to him."What about them? Are they sick? Did something happen to them?" I asked gently,
Zackary's POVI stared down at the small note between my fingertips. I have read the few words over a hundred times, yet I couldn't get enough of it.The message seemed to hold a weight far beyond its simple phrasing, stirring a mix of hope and anxiety within me. Each glance at the note ignited a flurry of memories of seeing her that night.Goddess, I so wanted to learn about her face-to-face. Was that too much to ask?My gaze traveled over the note once more, searching for any clues as to where she was hiding. Lex said she was near, but how far was that? Could I find her on my own?"Lilly is with me," the note read. "Don't worry about her. She is safe. She'll be back soon.... Much love, your witchy mate..."My index finger traced the neat but curvy handwriting, while Lex's words replayed in my mind.I felt so proud. My heart swelled just at the thought that my mate was safeguarding the real future, Luna.However, I felt a pang
Lilly's POVI woke up to the sound of a bird chirping at my window and struggled to open my heavy eyelids.After blinking a few times against the bright light, I realized I was back in my assigned room at the Royal Packhouse."Goddess," I moaned. "How the hell…?"My thoughts raced, and for a moment, I wondered if everything had just been a dream.I tossed the blankets aside and quickly got out of bed.The door was intact—everything looked normal. The bracelet was back on my wrist, catching the sunlight.I narrowed my eyes.Was the bracelet truly charmed? Could it really erase my memories?"Asena," I whispered, my heart racing so fast it felt like it might explode in my chest."Good morning," Asena's voice chimed in my mind, startling me."Asena, is that really you?" I asked."In spirit, my dear human," she chuckled."Am I dreaming? Is this moment real?" I asked. "Why can I hear you with this b
Lilly's POV"No, no, no!" Doug cried out. "Tell me what to do!"Rachel's eyes rolled back, and her body went limp. Panic surged through the room as Doug frantically searched for a pulse."There must be..." he muttered quietly. He pulled Rachel into his arms and rushed outside.Their once-beautiful home lay in ruins. Doug seemed oblivious to the destruction. He carried Rachel outside under the rising blood moon.The eerie light cast everything in a crimson hue, creating ominous shadows around them.Doug’s desperation intensified; he felt the weight of their shattered world pressing down on him as he set Rachel down, but all that mattered was saving his family."Goddess," he muttered, looking up at the sky. "Spare my wife's and babies' lives... take mine instead."In mere seconds, a massive monster emerged from the treeline, and Doug froze."Haven't you done enough damage in one night?" he roared in frustration a moment la
Lilly's POVEverything around me was just a blur as I moved through the funnel. Faces, images, and events flashed by, while muffled sounds echoed like distant dreams. A strange mix of anticipation and fear coursed through me.I could feel my heart racing as I tried to grasp what was happening, but the rush of emotions made it difficult to focus. I was uncertain about my destination, but one thing was clear: I was filled with fear at the prospect of discovering it. Nausea rolled in my stomach as the blurry images rushed past me faster and faster. I shut my eyes and prayed to the Goddess to keep me safe.Then, in an instant, it felt like I was falling, crashing into something soft as the wind abruptly vanished.Is it over?"You can open your eyes now," Adira's voice chimed in my ears, brimming with excitement.I snapped my eyes open and quickly pushed myself up, scanning my surroundings.I was lying on a bed of vibrant flowers, their sw
Lilly's POVI couldn't deny that I needed Adira's help. She seemed so confident that she could assist me. I took a deep breath, weighing my options. Trusting her might be my only chance to overcome the challenges ahead, but could I really rely on someone I barely knew?After a very uncomfortable dinner with her parents—especially with Hendrix present—we headed to her father's study.The room was dimly lit, filled with the scent of aged leather and old books. It looked exactly as I had imagined. Rows upon rows of bookshelves lined the walls, and a faint trail of dragon blood incense lingered in the air. The flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows across the spines of the books, and I wondered if the knowledge contained within those pages could hold the key to the answers we desperately needed."Have a seat," Adira said, gesturing to a deeper area of the study.As I settled into the worn leather chair, the scent of aged paper and ink enveloped me
Lex's POV"A witch?" Zack growled next to me, his voice a mix of incredulity and unease, as if the mere thought unsettled him.I couldn't blame him; our last encounter with one of them had ended in chaos. Werewolves generally harbored a strong aversion to witches, and we typically kept our distance
