MIRA'S POVSleep eluded me.The day had passed without event. Everyone was somewhat quiet, as if a heavy weight hung on each of our shoulders and talking with anyone would only heighten that weight.I felt like I was holding the heaviest weight, but what was I to expect when my day started with a terrifying panic attack?I lay there, unmoving, staring at the massive black sky. The moon was shining lowly at a corner, doing very little to illuminate the valley. There were barely stars, three or two scattered through the vast space.I could only imagine how lonely they were being away from each other that much. How terrible it felt being able to see each other, yet not being able to touch or feel.The thought sparked up a sinking feeling in my chest. I knew, firsthand, what that felt like. Maybe mine was worse. He was my mate, such a wonderful thing of pride, yet the only time it felt wonderful was when we were hidden in the corners of a secret chamber.I didn't know why I was thinking a

“You think I've lied to you?"He sneered. “Not think, Mira. I know you've lied to me. Not once, or twice, but unlike you I'm not here laying blames. I'm not letting that ruin the beautiful thing we had going on."I was mortified. I think it's confirmed. This man sitting beside me wasn't the Luca I knew."What are you even talking about? What lie? Why are you doing this, Luca?” I rattled at him.He didn't seem phased by my tone, or by the fact that I was this close to breaking down in tears. Or did he just not hear it?“You and I know it's the truth, Mira. You and I know you lied when you said you have no feelings for Nathan. You can quit denying it now."I barely even realized when my body began trembling with rage. “How dare you? What the actual fuck has come over you, Luca?"“You're not denying it."I exhaled, my heart pounding.“You shouldn't."That was more than enough. My anger doubled, but yet, I was at loss of what to say. I jerked to my feet with a scoff."Way to go. This is t

The world was a hazy blur when my eyes opened. It felt like I was floating, and it took over a minute to register that I was standing. How… I looked around, another shock dawning on me when I realized that I was at our camp. It was night, the sky was devoid of both moon and stars. Even the fire was burnt out, leaving only a trail of smoke where it had been. The night was cold as well, with an eerie silence.I took in a deep breath, shuddering from the cold. I looked around again, squinting so I'd see through the darkness. I saw Lira asleep on her sheets, her small frame curled up and covered with another piece of clothing. Nathan was asleep too. His body was stiff, and there was tension visible on his face even while asleep. Luca was half awake, half asleep, constantly stirring and his eyes barely even closed.I took a minute to stare at him. It was then I realized that this was how he always slept, like he was always ready to sprang up on danger instead of it happening the other wa

NARRATOR'S POV Alexa stood in front of the shattered mirror which she had refused to get rid of for no just reason. She was unusually calm, her dark eyes were lifeless but not empty.A loud knock sounded on the door, opening only when she responded.“Luna,” the voice revealed a man dressed in an armor the color of blood. His head was bowed, his hands gripping his sword stiffly.“The room is ready.” He finished.Alexa nodded without sparing him a glance. He turned and walked away, his movements monotonic.Her eyes were fixed on the orb. It was cracked here and there, yet the small pieces which remained still held an image of her prey.Mira, and that girl! And those boys who were sticking to her like glue. They would all meet their end. Tonight!With outstretched arms, she touched the mirror. Her eyes snapped shut, the concentration on her face intense.Her breathing increased, and all of a sudden, it stopped. She pulled back, her eyes opening in a painstakingly slow motion.A wicked sm

“Who are you?”I held my breath, berating myself for letting this get so far. If we had moved as soon as we got here, we would have avoided this.Luca!I shot him a glare. He avoided my eyes, frozen into place just as we all were.“What do we do?” Nathan mouthed.I shut my eyes, considering the topic of making a run for it, but that thought died as soon as it rose. When I heard the sound of a sword being drawn out, my eyes shot open.Bad idea!“Turn around or we'll attack.” A voice that sounded way too familiar said.I felt the piercing eyes of my group on me, waiting for me to act.Fuck this! I thought, then, slowly, I turned around.“Mira…” Lira tried to object but she was too late.“Hi, my name is Mira. I'm from a different…” I felt the words dissipate from my tongue as my eyes fell on the people in front of me.“...timeline.”I was staring at myself, and so was Nathan and Luca.It was like the look on their faces was a reflection of ours. That surprised and confused glare, like wha
