Caleb’s P.O.VAs soon as we reached the beach, all broke loose.“Wait! You can’t hurt them, they’re family!” My voice cracked as the words left me, but the soldiers didn’t even falter. They came at us like a wall of steel, heavy fists and boots slamming into Damien, into Shane, into me. I barely had time to raise an arm when the air rushed out of my chest.It was my father, standing in front of me with that cruel green and lifeless eyes.“Dad, stop!” I gasped, only to feel the world tilt sideways as his fist connected squarely with my face. The crack echoed in my head, white spots bursting in my vision as the sand beneath me rushed up hard. For a second, everything went blank. My ears rang.When I blinked through the haze, I saw Damien pinned to the ground, a soldier pressing his knee into Damien’s back while another pounded into his legs. Damien was spitting curses between gritted teeth, blood already painting his mouth.“Get off me, you bastards!” Damien roared, trying to twist, onl

Aurora’s P.O.VI breathed in relief, the kind that almost buckled my knees, but before I could even begin to let myself settle, confusion started spreading around like wildfire. Voices overlapped, soldiers groaning as they tried to sit up, some clutching at their heads while others stared blankly at one another, clearly not understanding how they ended up here. One of them spoke up, his voice hoarse.“Wait… how did we even get here? We were fighting, I swear I remember being surrounded, and then…” Another cut in, shaking his head furiously.“No, no, I remember something else. We were losing ground, then the light… and now this? Where the hell are we?” More murmurs followed, desperate and rising, like they were all trying to piece together a shattered memory that didn’t want to align.I turned quickly to Caleb, my own voice tight with the same question burning through all of us. “Caleb… How did you get here? When we were about to get into the portal— you got that warning about the rogu

Aurora’s P.O.VI sat across from him, my chest tight with everything that had been swirling inside me since last night, and before I could stop myself, the words slipped out, shaky but firm.“Caleb… How are you holding up?” I asked suddenly. “You were all alone without anyone’s help; you had to stand there, helpless, watching your own father turn against you… not even recognizing you. Do you know how much that broke me just to witness? I can’t even begin to imagine how you felt actually going through it.”Caleb’s gaze moved away, his hands rubbing together as if he was trying to keep them busy so they wouldn’t tremble. “He’s been apologizing non-stop since last night,” he muttered, almost in disbelief.“I’ve never seen him like that before, Aurora. Never. It’s like… every word he spoke was drenched in regret. And I should feel better about it, right? But instead, I just…” He let out a small laugh, bitter and soft. “I just feel sorry for him. Because in the end, it wasn’t really his fa

Aurora’s P.O.VAlice hesitated, and that hesitation made my heart race even faster. “Possession,” she said at last, the word so heavy it felt like the air itself thickened. “That green ring… it’s a mark that those wraiths had touched them.”I shook my head violently, tears blurring my vision. “No. No, Alice, don’t say that. Riley isn’t possessed. He’s still him. I saw it in his eyes, I heard it in his voice…he’s still my brother.” “Aurora,” Alice said softly but firmly, “I didn’t say he’s possessed. I said it’s a sign that he was possessed and survived. That means that they are survivors.”But I shook my head, tugging at my memories and trying to connect the dots.“Alice… it wasn’t just Riley and Jade. Avery and I…” I paused, my voice breaking just a little, “...we were possessed too. And yet… we don’t have those rings around our iris. Nothing that marks us like it did him.”Alice leaned back, her lips parting as if she hadn’t expected me to say it out loud. She let out a long sigh,

Aurora’s P.O.VThat broke something in Jade. He shook his head violently, as though trying to throw the words out of his skull. “No. No, don’t say that. If it was real, you would have stopped. If it was real, you wouldn’t have ignored me every time I said we aren’t mates. You would have listened! But you didn’t. You only listened to what you wanted.”“Jade, please…” she reached a trembling hand toward him, but I quickly caught it, holding her back, because the look in his eyes wasn’t just anger, it was devastation.“Don’t touch me,” Jade whispered hoarsely, his fury giving way to something quieter, darker. “Don’t ever touch me again.”My breath caught in my throat as the accusation hung in the air, sharp and jagged like broken glass. My eyes darted to Maggie, searching her face for denial, for some spark of outrage that would prove this was nothing more than a lie. But instead, she lowered her head, refusing to meet my gaze.“Maggie,” I whispered at first, but my voice cracked, so I t
