Nadia’s POV

Two weeks. That’s how long it took to plan.

Two weeks of watching Maya’s new obsession hang over us like a dark cloud. She didn’t attack. She sent… messages. A book on alchemy about blending souls left on my pillow. A rare, poisonous flower that only blooms under a bonded triad’s window. It was quiet. It was creepy. It was worse than an army.

We knew we couldn’t wait for her to make her move. We had to strike first, at the heart of the other snake’s nest: Moonshade Manor.

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Offer  

    Nadia’s POVThe knowledge of the prophecy and the Trial sat inside me like a live coal. It was all we talked about for days. Arguing in circles.“It’s too dangerous,” Noah would say, his face like granite. “We have no guide. No one living has done it. We could be walking into our own destruction.”“Staying as we are is also destruction,” Neal would fire back. “Just slower! Maya is going to keep picking at us until she finds a way in. This fusion… it’s the only door she can’t unlock.”I was trapped in the middle. The part of me that was still a scared girl, a reborn ghost, wanted to hide. The part that was my mother’s daughter, a Dawnfire, wanted to fight. But to fight meant risking the two hearts I loved most.I went to the one place I could think: the restored Hidden Spring. Elias was tending the flowers, the silver water glowing peacefully. I just sat by the edge, trailing my fingers in the warm light, trying to find an answer in its depths.“You look heavy, daughter,” Elias said so

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Forgotten Prophecy

    Nadia’s POVThe mental wards worked. The nightmares stopped. The cold whispers faded. But the quiet felt worse. Maya was a scientist. She had poked us, noted our reactions, and withdrawn to her lab. What was she building?“We cannot just wait for her next move,” I said to Elias the next morning. We were in the quiet library, sunlight streaming on dusty books. “We need to understand what she sees when she looks at us. She called me a crucible. What does that mean?”Elias ran a hand over an old, leather-bound book. “Our histories are full of forgotten things. The Dawnfire line was old when the Whitemores were young. There are prophecies even I only know as whispers.”“We need more than whispers,” I said. “We need words.”So we began the dig. Elias pulled crumbling scrolls from sealed Dawnfire chests. I sent a request to Noah to open the deepest Whitemore vaults, the ones that held things older than their pack.For two days, we lived in dust and faded ink. My eyes burned. We found nothin

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Witch’s Inquiry

    Nadia’s POVThe new Triarchy marks hummed on our skin, a constant, warm reminder of our unity. For three days, there was peace. We fell into our roles. Noah met with captains, his commands clear and fair. Neal charmed a visiting trade envoy, securing a better deal for our grain. I walked the gardens with Moonshade elders, listening to their stories, weaving our histories together.We were winning. Then, Maya began her tests.It started with Neal.He woke up screaming.I shot upright in bed. Noah was already on his feet, a knife in his hand. Neal was sitting, drenched in cold sweat, his eyes wide and wild, staring at nothing.“Neal! What is it?” I reached for him, but he flinched away from my touch.“Don’t,” he gasped, his voice raw. He scrambled out of bed, pacing the room, running his hands through his hair.“A dream?” Noah asked, his voice low, alert.“It wasn’t a dream,” Neal whispered. “It was real. I could smell it. Feel it.” He stopped, finally looking at me, his green eyes fill

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Triad's Throne  

    Nadia's POVThe rose was burned in a sacred fire by Elias, its sickening song silenced. But the ghost of its message lingered in the air, a constant whisper that Maya was watching, learning.And we were falling apart.The Council observers arrived two days later, the silver-flame witch, named Lyra (which made my heart ache), and the bear-like shifter Elder, Grendel. They came to "observe the stability of the new power structure." It was a test.Our first day as hosts was a disaster.It started in the morning meeting with our Betas and the Moonshade elders who had agreed to come. A Moonshade elder, a grim man named Borin, spoke."The eastern border patrols are thin. Whitemore wolves do not know our land. We need our own people, led by our own captains."Noah nodded, all cool logic. "Agreed. But the captains will be approved by Whitemore command to ensure unified strategy. We'll integrate the patrols in phases."Neal, who had been up all night reviewing trade routes, scoffed. "Phases? W

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Weight of a Crown

    Nadia's POVThe journey back to Whitemore Keep was silent. The weight of the prisoners, the weight of Henry’s wrapped body in the second wagon, the weight of what we had done,.it pressed down on all of us.Gaius and Eleanor rode in the wagon with Henry. I saw Gaius holding his mother, his face turned to stone. Eleanor just stared at her husband’s shroud, her tears dry now, as if she had none left.Beside me on horseback, Noah was a statue, his eyes fixed on the horizon, planning. Neal fidgeted, his energy coiled tight, looking back at the prisoners with a hard glint in his eye.No one spoke.When we finally rode through the gates, the keep was not celebrating. The pack gathered, but their faces were solemn. They saw the prisoners, they saw the shrouded body. They understood the cost.The first three days were for Henry.We held the funeral in the small garden he had liked, near the roses. It was simple. Eleanor asked for no grand words. Gaius stood straight and spoke only a few senten

  • The Dumb Cursed Heiress and Her Mates: Reborn For Revenge    The Corruption’s Cry & Atonement

    Nadia’s POVThe pain was a living thing inside me. It was not in my body. It was in my soul. Maya’s hooks dug deep, pulling at the warm, bright core that was my mother’s spirit blended with my own. I could feel it stretching, tearing.I was on my knees on the cold stone floor. My vision blurred. Lucien’s laughing face and Malia’s smug smile swam above me.“Look at her,” Lucien sneered. “The mighty reborn one. Just a puppet with its strings cut.”“Hold on, little vessel,” Maya’s voice chanted from the shadows, smooth and relentless. “Almost… got it…” A piece of it, a memory of my mother’s laugh, a feeling of her protection, was ripped free. It floated like a sad, golden wisp towards Maya’s bloody symbol.I was screaming, but no sound came out. The agony stole my voice, my breath, my hope.This is how I die, I thought. Not with a knife, but empty. Hollowed out.Then, a new sound cut through the hall. Not a battle cry. A raw, human shout of pure rage and horror.“NO! STOP THIS!”Henry S
