[Elise’s POV]I grow quiet and wait while Tristan and Jolene stare at me. From the looks on their faces, it is clear that they are confused about what it is that I am asking.“The crone,” I repeat, wondering if I mispronounced or stuttered. “Do either of you know anything about a crone?”“The crone,” Tristan says slowly. “Is the old wise witch. Some consider her the mother of the witches, but she is nothing more than an elder who holds knowledge of all.”Nodding, I take in what Tristan is telling me while wondering why that woman who called herself my mother would suggest I look for such a person.“Why are you asking?” Tristan asks. “Do you have business with the crone?”“Maybe,” I admit. “Do you know how to find her?”Knowing about her was one thing, but knowing where to locate her, was something else entirely, and honestly, if he didn’t know where to find her then I still didn’t have much to go on.Like you have anything. The small voice in the back of my head tells me. You don’t ev

Epilogue 1: Eventually Let Go

[Elise’s POV]“Then I need to find this crone.”My voice rings out confidently as I speak, and I know that that is the next plausible step for me, but before that, I would need to find another witch to help us. Did we even know of another witch?“The sooner the better.” I continue. “Do any of you know of another witch?”“Tatiana,” Tristan murmurs, turning his gaze to his mothers. “She’s still within the packhouse, correct?”“She is,” Maria confirms. “Due to the seriousness of the situation at the time she stuck around for her own safety.”“Then we just need to go to this Tatiana.” I say. “Where is she right now?”“In her room, probably.” Tristan shrugs. “I can lead the way if you want…”“No,” I snap. “You are going to stay here and take care of Denali along with Jolene.”“I don’t need his help.” Jolene huffs. “He will only get in the way.”“Who will get in the way?” Tristan counters. “If that is anyone, it will be you.”“No, you,” Jolene argues, and I roll my eyes.“Maria,” I say leav

Epilogue 2: When You Cheated Fate

[Elise’s POV]I stare at Tatiana in confusion, but she says nothing more. Instead, she claps her hands with Maria who stands on the opposite side of her, and they both begin to chant. As they do, I feel the energy shift once more, and as it does, it feels almost like something solid pressing against my skin.It’s uncomfortable to say the least, but since I was told to not fight it, I do as instructed. I don’t move, I don’t fight, and I watch as light begins to slowly appear around me, forming a separate circle from the one that Tatiana created.“This,” I hiss, realizing what was happening. “A portal.”“Do not fight,” Tatiana reminds me, her glowing eyes coming to rest on me. “Allow what will be to be.”Nodding, I clench and unclench my fists as the light slowly starts to close in around me and slither along my body, and when it reaches my throat, I brace myself for what will happen.“Good luck,” Maria tells me. “Please, save them.”“Yes,” I say as the light continues it’s ascent, and

EPILOGUE 3: From Death To A Second Chance

[Elise’s POV]I stare at the crone as she watches me with a look of amusement, and I can’t help but wonder what exactly it is that she is planning.“How can you send me away without any answers?” I demand. “You’ve done nothing but talk in riddles.”“Have I?” She asks, cocking her head to the side. “I think I’ve been pretty clear this whole time. You said that you didn’t wish to go back to the time when fate was changed because you thought that it would be too painful for someone, so I’m giving a chance to go back to a different time.”“But what time is that?”“You should know that better than anyone.” She tells me. “You’re the one who cheated fate and managed to connecting your life with that child’s. So, you should know when that happened.”But I don’t, I think silently, realizing that even though this woman was supposed to be all seeing and all knowing she didn’t even realize that I didn’t possess my memories. I don’t know how this happened or how I came to be like this.“Don’t thin
