Narrator POVThe cold wind howled softly outside, but inside the cave, everything was still. Quiet. Watching.Dove walked in with the grace of a queen, her floating, flowery white gown brushing lightly against the polished marble floor. The walls glittered with gold designs that shimmered under the dim lights hanging from the ceiling. The cave wasn’t just a hideout—it looked like a shrine. A place built for power.She smiled. That same wicked, confident smile that could break even the strongest men. Her heels tapped softly against the floor as she walked, every soul inside the cave falling to their knees.Not a word was spoken. They all bowed. Heads low. Eyes down.She loved it.At the center of the marble floor stood her throne. Tall. Dark. Carved from black stone and wrapped in golden vines. Above it, engraved in sharp letters, one word:“Witch.”Her rightful place.Dove’s smirk deepened as she climbed the steps to the throne. Her long, dark hair flowed behind her like silk, but as

Sebestian I parked the car right at the entrance of my private training ground, killing the engine as the silence of the place settled around us. This space…this whole massive property tucked between tall walls and thick trees…was mine. Every square inch of it. No one had access to it. Not Dove. Not the pack warriors. Not even my Beta.I never let anyone in here.And yet… here I was, bringing Ava.I still didn’t understand why I did it. Maybe I was losing my mind. Or maybe, just maybe… I was tired of the constant, unbearable feeling clawing at my chest every time I thought about something happening to her and I wasn’t there to stop it.If anything went wrong..if anyone got to her..and I didn’t prepare her… I would never forgive myself.I clenched my jaw, pushing that thought away.“Are you going to open the door or are you just going to sit there like a statue?” Ava’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts, laced with that playful irritation she never seemed to run out of.I smirked. “W

SEBESTIAN I noticed the shift in her immediately.It was like a curtain dropped over her features the moment she checked her phone. She tried to play it off…cleared her throat, tucked it away, gave me a little smile like nothing had changed. But it had. I felt it in my chest, like static in the air right before lightning strikes.I didn’t ask.God knows I wanted to. My curiosity clawed at me, pressing questions against my teeth. But something told me it wasn’t the right time. Something in her eyes said, Don’t.So I kept quiet.The rest of the drive was almost too quiet. The kind where silence doesn't feel comfortable anymore. I pretended not to notice how she held her bag tighter or how she looked out the window like she was trying to escape something.When we reached her place, the gates opened automatically. I pulled in and parked. Got out. My heart thudded in my chest as I walked around to open the door for her. Old habits, I guess. She didn't protest this time.We stepped inside,

Sebestian POV Staring down at my mother boiled something sharp through my veins.Anger. Fury. Maybe even shame.I clenched my fists behind my back to stop myself from reacting. To stop myself from saying something I’d regret.She stood there so proud, so cold—like the world bowed to her cruelty.It took everything in me not to explode.But what sent me over the edge wasn’t her words.It was the way she looked at Ava.That silent, poisonous stare between them.I saw it.I pretended I didn’t, but I did.It was quick, but too loud to ignore. Her eyes burned into Ava’s like a command had been passed silently between them.I didn’t like that. Not one bit.“I told you,” she said sharply, without turning to look at me. “This lady is better off dead.”She was talking about Dove, but it still made my skin crawl.With that, she turned on her heels and walked away, her robe sweeping the floor like a veil of smoke behind her.I watched her go, my jaw locked tight.Then I turned toward Ava.She s

AVA'S POV"You're not coming in with me, are you?" I asked him, wishing deeply that he would say, No, I'm coming in with you.He turned to face me, letting go of the steering wheel. "Do you want me to come in?"Fuck. He turned the tables on me.I sighed and gave him a tight smile. If I said yes, he’d know I wanted him to stay. And I did. I didn’t want to be alone tonight…not after what I just encountered. The Queen Dowager’s eyes… they still haunted me.But could I really handle his presence? His presence that made me forget the world even existed outside the one I shared with him.And if I said no… he’d leave. And I’d be alone again."If you want to," I said quickly, opening the door. I flipped the decision back to him. It was his move now. I hoped he would stay."Okay," he said just as I slammed the door shut.I heard the engine ignite.What the heck?He’s leaving?I rolled my eyes hard as I watched him slowly turn the car around.My heart sank. I didn’t know why... but I was alread
