Aurora’s P.O.V “And you never will,” she said gently, her smile finally faltering with her own tears. “Because I will live on in you. In your heart. In every choice you make from this moment forward.”I buried my face in my hands, crying out, “Why does it have to be this way? Why can’t the world ever give us peace?”“Because peace must be fought for,” she said firmly. “And it is your turn to fight.”I lifted my head, my face wet, my chest heaving. “And when you’re gone… when you’re really gone, how am I supposed to go on without you?”She leaned forward, pressing her forehead against mine, whispering, “By remembering that you are not alone. You never were. You never will be.”But I shook my head furiously, gripping the pendant so tightly in my palm that it almost cut into my skin.“No…no, Mom, you can’t say that. You can’t talk like that. I can’t lose you all over again. Do you understand me? I barely survived the first time. I can’t… I won’t survive it again.”My voice cracked at th

Caroline’s P.O.VI watched in frozen horror as Aurora plunged the dagger straight into her chest, her face a mask of pain and defiance.“Aurora!” I screamed, my legs moving before I even realized it. I tried to run to her, my heart slamming against my ribs like it was about to burst out, but just as I reached forward, a hand clamped hard around my wrist, yanking me back.“No, Caroline,” Alice’s voice was sharp, urgent, almost desperate, “don’t…don’t interfere!”“What do you mean don’t interfere?” I snapped, wrenching against her grip, my eyes burning with tears as I saw Aurora swaying on her feet. “She’s bleeding, Alice! She’s….she’s…” My throat caught.“I have to help her, let me go!”Alice’s hold only tightened, her nails digging into my skin. “You can’t,” she hissed, her own eyes wide, glistening, but steady.“This is the only way. If you go to her now, you’ll ruin it, don’t you understand? She’ll die for nothing if you do!”“I don’t care if I ruin it!” I shouted, my voice breaking

Aurora’s P.O.VI watched as Ashton clutched his arm, his face twisted with rage and pain, spitting curses at me through gritted teeth. His voice was sharp, venom dripping from every word.“Damn you, Aurora! You’ll pay for this, you don’t know who the hell you’re dealing with!”I didn’t flinch. My dagger was steady in my grip, my chest heaving, and my voice came out harder than I expected even though he’d just choked the life outta me. “How long have you been alive, Ashton?”He froze for a moment, his eyes narrowing, then he let out a harsh laugh, bitter and laced with fury. “What difference does it make, huh? What the hell are you gonna do with that information, Aurora? Do you think it changes anything?”“Answer me!” I snapped, my voice sharp enough to slice through the tension choking the air. I stepped closer, my eyes locked on his. “Don’t play games with me. Answer me, Ashton!”His jaw clenched, and for a long second I thought he’d keep taunting me, keep circling me with his lies.

Aurora’s P.O.VMaggie turned to Jade, her hands trembling as if she didn’t even know which way to hold them, then back at me, her eyes glossy with pain.“Aurora,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “I can’t choose. Don’t ask me to, please. I can’t choose between my mother and the one I love. You’re asking me to kill one of them, and I can’t…don’t you see I can’t?”I clenched my jaw, stepping closer so she couldn’t look away. “Maggie, listen to me. Your beloved mother has slaughtered coven after coven, century after century. She hasn’t shown a shred of remorse, not once. Do you really think there’s a bargain left in her? There isn’t. The only way…” I shoved my hand toward Jade, who lay pale and weak, his chest rising and falling too shallowly. “The only way is to kill the wraith the second it takes full control of Jade’s body.”Maggie’s breath hitched, and she shook her head violently. “No…no, there has to be another way. Maybe if I talk to her, maybe if I remind her of who she was…”“

Caleb’s P.O.VBranches cracked under my boots as I pushed myself harder, my lungs burning, but I refused to slow down. Damien was just ahead of me, his breathing ragged but determined, and Shane trailed behind us, muttering curses under his breath until finally he snapped, his voice loud and cutting through the night air.“Why the hell didn’t we go back to the packhouse?” he shouted, his tone sharp with frustration. “We could’ve found shelter there, maybe even regrouped. Instead, we’re out here running like fugitives.”I threw a quick glance over my shoulder, my jaw clenched, my words harsh when I answered. “Because that would’ve been the most dangerous choice we could’ve made. You don’t get it, Shane. There’s no certainty the wraiths haven’t already managed to control the rest of the pack. And even if by some miracle they haven’t, dragging a bunch of possessed beings back into a house filled with our pack, filled with our family, with innocent lives? That’s not shelter, that’s mass m
