Tessa/Jessica pov.“A letter?” I repeated, reaching out to take the folded paper from his hands, he bowed a little before leaving. What could she possibly have sent this time? And how did she manage to get her letter inside?“How about opening it?” my wolf’s voice echoed faintly in the back of my mind.A small smile tugged at my lips. Well, look who’s back. I almost wanted to tease her, but I held back. I didn’t want her retreating again. We needed her now—Zane’s wolf needed her.“He’s weak,” she said softly. “I can’t feel him.”“Yes,” I replied quietly. “The healer said there’s too much dark energy surrounding him.”“That’s strange,” my wolf murmured. “Those are his powers, I can feel them. They’re supposed to be connected to him, not working against him.”I unfolded the letter slowly, the paper crackling between my fingers. The moment my eyes fell on the first line, my stomach twisted.“If I must say, you truly have a gift for bad luck. First, your mate was banished, and now your c

Tessa/Jessica pov.I was down to five warriors by the time Ronald led the injured ones back. I’d let him take most of them on purpose — better to have more guarding the wounded than slowing me down if things went wrong.By the time the sun began to sink behind the thick line of trees, we had already searched through most of the area. Nothing. Just dust, traps, and the same heavy air that carried traces of old magic.Kevin kicked a rock out of frustration. “Gamma, are you sure this place has anything at all?”I looked at the map again. “According to what Paige’s letter hinted at, it should be somewhere here. We just haven’t looked deep enough.”One of the warriors, Erik, pointed ahead. “There’s still that cave we saw earlier. We only checked the front part.” We had fallen into—not exactly fallen but found a cave while we were searching earlier. It looked dangerous so I thought of keeping it for the last search. I nodded. “Then we’ll check it again. Bring the torches.”We made our way

Tessa/Jessica pov.I paced around the cave, glancing up at the slice of sky visible through the cracks above. The moon was still not full. How long was it going to take?My patience was thinning by the second. Every heartbeat felt heavier than the last. I didn’t even know how Zane was doing back at the pack. Was he alright? Was he sleeping? Eating? He’d better not be doing anything stupid like trying to move around.“Gamma,” Kevin’s voice broke through my thoughts. He was crouched near the entrance, checking the traps we’d set. “Still nothing. It’s quiet out there.”“Too quiet,” I muttered.He gave me a look. “You’re overthinking.”“Maybe,” I said, rubbing the token Zane had given me between my fingers. It was warm again—faintly, but enough to make my chest ache. “But something doesn’t feel right.”I turned back to the small patch of glowing grass growing near the center of the cave. It shimmered faintly, swaying under a draft that didn’t exist. The book had said to wait until the mo

Tessa/Jessica POV: Saving ZaneBy the time we reached the tribe, the sun had barely risen. Every step felt heavier, my body weak and trembling from the fight and exhaustion, but I didn’t stop—not even a single breath.The Purifying Grass was safe in my pouch, wrapped carefully with a strip of my cloak. Kevin and the others trailed behind, exhausted but silent—they knew how urgent this was, how much Zane meant to me.When we reached the gate, the guards didn’t even bother asking questions. They saw my face and opened it immediately.I ran straight through the corridors, ignoring the voices calling after me, my boots echoing against the stone floor. My heart was pounding so hard it hurt. I headed straight for his room.He was still lying there. Pale. Motionless.My heart clenched.“Zane…” I rushed to his side and grabbed his hand. It was cold—too cold. “I’m back. I got it. I’ll save you now.”Fred and Ronald were by the wall, both looking exhausted. They didn’t even try to stop me.Witho

Paige pov. They say the most powerful weapon of a woman is her body and that body is what I used to my advantage. Even though people had tried to take advantage of it before but im sure he's learning his lesson in hell by now.I stood at the top of the mountain, watching down on Zane’s tribe, everywhere was quiet and peaceful. Too sad they don’t know what’s about to hit them. I draw my arrow, counted with dark magic, I don’t think Jessica knows how to use the purifying grass she had obtained even if she did there’s no way the dark energy in Zane's body would completely vanish. As long as my arrow can hit his room and he inhales it, he’ll bend to me. I don’t need him alive to be useful—just under my control long enough to break their will.“Attack as soon as I set the arrow,” I say. My voice is flat. Soldiers shift behind me, faces hard. I draw the bow, feel the dark pulse in the shaft. It hums against my palm like an answered prayer. I aim for the second window from the left, Zane’
