Lotus PovAs I sat on the edge of my bed, my mind raced with questions about Seth and the mastermind. I couldn't believe that he had kept such a big secret from me. How could he have lied to me for so long? My mind was filled with worry about what would happen next. Would they come after us? Would they harm our child?Suddenly, I heard a loud noise outside of my window. It sounded like something had crashed into the glass. I hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to investigate. I slowly made my way to the window, my heart pounding in my chest. I cautiously peered out into the darkness, but I couldn't see anything. The night was eerily quiet, and the moon was obscured by a thick layer of clouds.Just as I was about to turn away, I caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of my eye. I quickly spun around to face it, but all I could see was a pair of glowing red eyes. They seemed to be floating in mid-air, unattached to any sort of body. I could feel the hairs on the

Lotus PovSeth sat down beside me, his face grave. "We're still investigating," he said. "We don't know who they were or what they wanted.

"We'll keep you safe."I nodded, knowing that I could trust Seth and Damon to protect me. But I also knew that I had to do my part. I couldn't just sit around and wait for someone to save me. I had to be vigilant and cautious, and always be on the lookout for danger.As Seth got up to leave, I asked him one more question. "Do you think the intruders were after me?"Seth frowned, his brows furrowed in thought. "It's possible," he said. "But we can't jump to conclusio

Seth, my enigmatic companion, had always carried an air of secrecy, a shroud that concealed his true intentions. I couldn't help but wonder what hidden truths lay behind his actions, what secrets he guarded so fiercely.The weight of unanswered questions bore heavily upon me, threatening to unravel the delicate threads that held our relationship together. Why were the council of elders after my life? What motivated Seth to invest such a substantial sum to acquire me?

Was there a reason for Dalia's animosity towards me? Did she harbor resentment towards the fact that I, a mere

Seth's Pov"What?! What happened?" I asked Damon, my voice filled with concern and disbelief. His face was etched with exhaustion and worry as he recounted the events that had unfolded during the escort mission.Damon's voice trembled with a mixture of exhaustion and frustration as he recounted the harrowing events that unfolded during the ill-fated escort mission. I could see the beads of sweat glistening on his forehead, evidence of the physical strain he had endured."The ambush was swift and merciless, sir," Damon continued, his gaze fixated on a distant memory. "The mastermind's minions descended upon us like a dark cloud, their eerie silence punctuated only by the clash of weapons and the agonized cries of our comrades. They were ruthless, overwhelming us with their sheer numbers and unwavering determination."I could almost taste the acrid scent of gunpowder that lingered in the air, mingling with the metallic tang of blood.
