LOGINEllia POV
The words kept repeating in my head.
The one who betrayed us.
I stood completely still, staring at Reis.
“The file is gone?”
He nodded.
“Yes.”
“Who took it?”
“We don’t know”
Cassien stepped forward.
“How many guards were stationed at Haelon Global?”
“At night? Four.”
“And none of them saw anything?”

Ellia POV“Welcome back, Lilith”The words echoed through the room.I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even breathe.My entire body felt as though it had become a vessel for something much older than me.Something powerful. Something terrifying.“Ellia!”Cassien’s voice reached me, but it sounded distant.Like he was standing miles away.I looked down at my hands. Golden light was flowing beneath my skin. My fingers trembled.“What is happening to me?”Erevos took another step forward.“She’s remembering.”“Remembering what?” Cassien demanded.Erevos didn’t look at him. He only stared at me.“Her life.”Suddenly, pain exploded through my head.I screamed. And the world disappeared.I was standing in a garden.Not the
Ellia POVThe golden light continued to pour from my body.I couldn’t control it. I couldn’t even feel my feet touching the ground anymore.Everything around me had become a blur of gold and darkness.Cassien was saying something.I could see his lips moving,but I couldn’t hear him.Then—Ellia.Lilith’s voice echoed inside my head.Not distant this time. Not faint.She was right there.Listen to me.I closed my eyes.“What are you doing?” I whispered.I’m showing you the truth.A sharp pain suddenly shot through my head.“AH!”I grabbed my temples. Images flashed before my eyes.A palace.A woman standing on a balcony. Long silver hair. Golden eyes.A crown sitting on her head.Lilith.I knew it immediately. She looked exactly like me.Then another image appe
Ellia POVThe moment I opened my eyes, I knew something was wrong.Not because of the darkness. Not because of the silence. But because I could hear a heartbeat.A slow one.Steady.Thump.Thump.Thump.I remained completely still.My eyes adjusted to the dim room around me, and for a few seconds, I couldn’t remember where I was. Then everything came rushing back.Erevos.Lilith.Cassien.Anna.Project Luna.My mother’s secrets. And the war that was getting closer every day.I slowly pushed myself upright.“Ellia?”I froze.That voice.I turned toward the doorway.Cassien stood there.His hair was slightly messy, his shirt unbuttoned at the top, and his eyes were fixed on me with an expression I couldn’t quite understand.Relief. Fear.And something else.Something deeper.&
Ellia POVFor several seconds, nobody moved.The man standing at the end of the corridor simply watched us. The stolen flash drive dangled between two fingers.My heart was pounding so hard that I could hear it.“How…?”The word escaped my lips.He smiled.“Surprised?”Cassien stepped in front of me immediately.“Don’t come any closer.”The man’s smile widened.“Still protecting her, I see”I stared past Cassien.That voice.I knew it.I had heard it countless times. But my mind refused to accept what my eyes were seeing.“Reis…”My voice barely came out. Cassien went completely still.Reis.His Beta.The man who had stood beside him through every battle. The man who had helped defend the Northern Kingdom. The man who had been in the room when we discussed Erevos.The man who knew everything. Reis slowly walked forward.“Ellia.”
Ellia POVMy entire body went cold.I stared at the figure standing at the end of the corridor. The stolen flash drive was still between his fingers.He wasn’t hiding anymore. He wasn’t pretending. He was simply standing there…Smiling.“How…?”The word barely escaped my lips. Cassien immediately stepped in front of me.His body tensed.“Stay behind me.”The man chuckled.“Still playing the protective Alpha, I see.”Cassien’s eyes narrowed.“Step away from them”The man tilted his head.“You really don’t recognize what you’re looking at?”I did.That was the problem.I knew him.I’d trusted him.I’d spoken to him.I’d even allowed him to help me when I knew almost nothing about the world I had been thrown into.“
Ellia POVThe words kept repeating in my head.The one who betrayed us.I stood completely still, staring at Reis.“The file is gone?”He nodded.“Yes.”“Who took it?”“We don’t know”Cassien stepped forward.“How many guards were stationed at Haelon Global?”“At night? Four.”“And none of them saw anything?”“They were found unconscious”My stomach tightened.“All four?”“Yes.”Cassien’s expression darkened.“What about the security footage?”“Erased.”Of course.Someone had planned this.Someone who knew exactly what they were looking for.I turned toward the door.“We’re going there.”Cassien immediately stepped in front of me.&l
Ellia POV“A blood baptism!”The words still rang in my ears for a while after–Then the yard went dead quiet, every eye locked on me now…awaiting my reponse.“No!!” The words tore right out of me before I could stop it.“No!”Slowly, the murmurs began to stirr up again…I turned to face then now ag
Ellia POV“Mate!”The word echoed in my head like a curse as the God like figure stepped into the room.He felt it too…I saw it. The tension coursing through him—But what the hell was it?“Ellia..” the voice of Selene seemed to drag me right out of the haze I was in…I snapped my head to her at on
Ellia POV“No.. no! No..”That shouldn’t have happened…All I had to do was ignore it. Just mind my business, but—But that was the real issue…whatever abilities I had—whatever was wrong with me..it can’t change my nature.I saw a lady in need of help…and I acted. And if I had another chance to mak
Ellia POVThe sharp sound of my alarm dragged me out of sleep.I groaned and slapped a hand across my nightstand until my fingers found my phone.7:30 a.m.That was far too early for any human being to be awake.I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling. "Five more minutes won’t hurt anyone,
