MAXINEThe first thing that came to my mind was, "So soon?" I had thought about progressing and making a transformation and I had somehow manifested it. The artifact's energy was working in weird ways.I let out a scream as pain rippled through my door. Cinder's expression turned grave. "Maxine, it looks like you're starting to shift. You need to focus on controlling it."Panic surged through me as the pain grew worse, spreading through my limbs. "I... I don't know how! Help me!" I cried with fear."Stay calm," Cinder instructed, her voice steady. "Breathe. Focus on your breathing and try to stay in control.""Come on, Maxine. You can do it." Zel assured me, keeping a safe distance away from me. I could tell she wanted to help me but her hands were tied. This was something I had to go through.I closed my eyes, trying to follow her instructions, but the pain was a lot. It felt like my body was being torn apart from the inside.Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore, a sudden,

MAXINEThe morning light filtered through the window, casting a soft glow over the room. My body still ached but I felt a strange sense of calm.Zel was gone when I woke up, and I had a feeling she was off seeking answers about her mother’s deal with the demons.I slowly got out of bed, my muscles protesting with every movement. I wanted to stay in bed but I wanted to offer support to Zel. Surprisingly, I found Cinder in the kitchen, brewing a pot of tea. But, Zel wasn't with her.She glanced up and smiled at me. "How are you feeling?""Sore," I replied, "but I'll manage. Where's Zel?""She went to meditate," Cinder said. "A lot seems to be going through her mind lately. I wonder if you know what it is."I didn't know if it was my place to tell her what the problem was so, I opted to say nothing. She filled a wooden cup with some tea and passed it to me.I took it, enjoying the delicious warmth on my fingers. "She just needs to talk to you. We should join her."Cinder agreed, and toge

MAXINE"How?" I asked, walking closer to them. Zel acknowledge me with a nod of thanks. I gave her a small smile."Do you know a way?" Cinder asked.Zel nodded. "I'm going to let you into my memories. It's not going to be much but it might trigger something and bring back your stolen memories." She said.Cinder thought about it for a while. "I don't know. The memories we have about Gabriel are not the same. I'm not sure it will work." She said."I'm only going to show you the memories where you were involved. So, somehow, it's yours too." Zel explained.I nodded. "That makes more sense. How do you plan to do it?""A spell?" Zel let out a nervous grin. "We just need to find the right ingredients to make it." She looked at Cinder for approval."I did say I was going to do everything it takes." She offered a small smile. Zel smiled back."Great! I'll go study about it!" She said, excitedly before rushing off into the house.Cinder and I watched her go. "Thank you," she said to me."I did

MAXINEThere, on the bed, was another woman and Liam, both of them stark naked and tangled in the sheets. Liam was on top of the woman. She moaned, her hands holding tightly to his back as he pounded into her.He grunted and I froze, watching the scene unfold in front of me. Liam turned his head, wondering who would interrupt him like that. I saw his face shift from anger"Maxine," he called breathlessly. I turned on my heels. "Maxine, wait!" He called after me.I didn't wait. I hurried down the stairs as fast as I could, ignoring everyone and anyone who tried to get my attention. I didn't stop even after I was outside the pack house.I thought, oh my goodness. I'm so stupid. I thought Liam and I had something going on. I thought I could finally find that one person for me. I thought Liam was the one.I was so wrong.I felt wetness on my cheeks. Why was I crying? I swiped at the tears with the back of my hand harshly."Stop crying!" I yelled at myself. He doesn't deserve my tears. I b

LIAMThe sun was setting across the streets as I drove from one place to another, searching for Maxine. Each friend I visited had the same answer: they hadn't seen her. No one had seen her.It was almost like she hadn't truly returned. My frustration grew with each passing second. Everywhere was a dead end. The only lead I had was from Ella, who had seen her briefly.I couldn't shake off the feeling that I needed to find her, to explain myself. The truth was, I missed her more than I cared to admit.Our late-night talks in her apartment, the way she moved around the kitchen while cooking, the sound of her laughter—they had become the highlights of my days. The intimacy we shared, the way she moaned when we were together, it had played on repeat in my mind for weeks.My phone began to ring. I answered it, still driving. "Hello?""Liam," It was Varis, "any luck?"I sighed, "None. It's almost like she's disappeared. There's no trace of her." I replied."Do you want me to send word to the
