{Lyra}

The first thing I noticed was the sky. It was grey and heavy with clouds. The second thing was the unmistakable scent of home.

Not my real home, of course. That was long gone, burned to ash by betrayal and time. But the place my heart had stupidly started calling home before everything fell apart—Dominic’s mansion.

At least what was left of it.

Alissa, who was still very much the pilot of my body, stood tall beside Varen as he led the way through the iron gates, but I felt her pulse quicken by the second.

We were back.

The grand doors had been broken off their hinges. Rubble framed the entryway like the jagged teeth of a monster. The windows were shattered. Curtains were torn and thrown all over the floor. The place looked like it had been chewed up and spit back out by a raging storm.

But it was the people I saw who really made my stomach turn.

Dominic’s pack members stood in tight clusters around the wreckage, looking both lost and scared. It was almost like someone had turn

    {Dominic}Before anything else could be said Ryker pulled me into a hug so tight I thought he’d finish what death started.“Easy,” I grunted, barely keeping the groan in.He didn’t let go.“Damn it, Dominic. You can’t do that to me,” he muttered.I froze for a second. Then wrapped my arms around him, ignoring the pain dancing across my ribs.It wasn’t just a reunion hug. It was the kind you gave a brother who you thought was dead.He finally stepped back, looking me over with narrowed eyes like he was trying to make sure I was really here.“You died, man.” His voice dropped, letting a flood of emotion overwhelm him for a few precious breaths.I exhaled slowly, not quite sure how to process everything myself.He rubbed his hands down his face. “Shit. I knew it. I felt it. The second it happened, it was like something snapped in my chest. And I just, I couldn’t sit still. Couldn't believe it. So I came running.”He paced a little, stepping around a shelf of dried herbs and what looked

    {Dominic }My eyelids were heavier than stone, but I managed to pry them open despite some force resisting me.Dim orange light filtered in through a cracked window. The room smelled of sage, iron, and something else, probably burnt herbs.My body felt like a battlefield, every inch screamed. Bandages wrapped tightly around my chest, arms, and legs. I tried to move, but my limbs barely twitched at first."Well, you're alive. That’s something."The voice was oddly melodic. Nothing like the one I'd encountered in that… whatever that was, yet it sounded familiar. Like in some world they might come from the same person.‘What a way to wake up after… well… dying…’I turned my head slightly. A woman sat beside me, thread in hand, calmly stitching a gash across my side like I was some doll. She wasn't exactly old, but she had the weight of age on her shoulders.Her hair was like ash, streaked with black, and it fell down her back in thick bundles. Her hands were steady, a tell of the trade.

    {Lyra}I stared at him, heart pounding so loud it echoed in my ears. He turned and began to walk away, but not before tossing the vial back up, catching it neatly.“Sweet dreams, little witch.”The silence that followed his footsteps echoed louder than any scream. The vial’s glow still flickered behind my eyelids. He wanted to finish what Alissa started. He wanted to seal the curse and tie it with a pretty bow made of my blood. My life. And for what? Immortality? What use was a sad life that never ended? No useful bonds formed.“You’re pathetic, Varen.” I spat, but he obviously couldn’t hear me.I tried to slow my breathing, but my thoughts didn’t listen.“Dominic was dying. Alissa wasn’t letting go. Varen wants to kill me. I might as well be powerless.”I wanted to scream. I wanted to set the stone walls on fire with my bare hands and rip the chains off Mace and myself. I wanted to undo everything, rewind time, kiss Dominic’s stupid, furrowed brow, and tell him I never stopped bein

    {Dominic }The first thing I noticed was that I wasn’t cold.In fact, I felt nothing at all. No pain, no ache, not even the slow crawl of breath leaving my lungs. Just a strange lightness — as if my body no longer remembered how to feel heavy.And for a while, I didn’t even know I was still… something. Well… I was concious. Wasn’t I?It meant I was existing, maybe. Simply floating in a void that felt neither warm nor cold. Was this what dying felt like?Just suspended in this velvet nothingness. No floor beneath me, no sky above. Just… blank. Like someone had erased the world with one massive swipe, like wiping a whiteboard.At first, there was only the dark — cool, and endless. But then something shifted, and light poured in, bright and blinding, the kind that should’ve scorched my retinas. Only… it didn’t. It was gentle somehow, wrapping around me like warm familiar embrace.I blinked.And blinked again.Not to wipe the blur from my vision, but to take in the brightness. It was pea

    {Lyra}I sat there for a while, pondering my next move. I still couldn’t move, but my tongue tingled every once in a while, and I had a crazy idea to try and speak.My voice cracked on the way out, rough from disuse, but somehow, it made it through the heavy silence. One of the figures in the corner lifted her head.“Mace,” I tried again, louder this time.She turned, her eyes flicking toward me with suspicion. I willed my gaze to hold hers like it mattered more than breathing.“What did you just say?” she muttered.“Mace… It’s me. Lyra.”She stood slowly, chains clinking as she did, and stalked across the cell like a cautious predator. When she got close enough to see my face, her lips curled into a snarl.“Nice try, witch.”“No, no—it’s not her. It’s not Alissa. I swear, it’s me,” I said quickly, blinking hard, trying to force some truth into my eyes. “I don’t know how to prove it, but I’m me, Mace. I’m Lyra.”Mace squinted. “You expect me to believe that after everything that’s hap
