Then Kael collapsed.He hit the ground hard, convulsing, his hands going to his own throat, clutching his throat desperately. The binding spell Katherine had cast on him years ago—the one that linked their pain—Belarie was killing him too."Kael!" Dante shouted, dropping to his knees beside his brother.Kael's face was turning pale as Katherine's. He couldn't breathe. Could only suffer the same suffocation his mother was experiencing.Belarie's eyes widened with malicious delight. "Oh, this is exquisite. Killing two birds with one stone. Literally." He laughed. "Kill the witch, kill her bound son."And with her free hand—the one Belarie couldn't see—she reached into the small pouch at her waist and pulled out something tiny. As her consciousness began to slip away, Katherine pressed something into the pocket of Belarie's suit.He didn't notice."LET HER GO!" Killian roared.He and Dante both lunged at Belarie simultaneously, coming at him from different angles.Belarie didn't even lo

Dante's car screeched into Peggy's house, tyres leaving black marks on the pale concrete. He killed the engine.He was out of the car before it fully stopped, stumbling over his own feet in his desperation to reach her."PEGGY!" His fists slammed against the door—once, twice, over and over until his knuckles split and bled. "PEGGY, PLEASE! OPEN THE DOOR!"The house was quiet but Dante knew she was there. "I know you're inside!" His voice cracked, from crying the entire drive over. "Please, just—just let me see you. Let me talk to you. Five minutes. That's all I'm asking. Please just open the door."There was no answer. Dante pressed his forehead against the door, his bloody knuckles still resting against the wood. "I lied. When I said I didn't love you—that was the biggest fucking lie I've ever told. I've loved you since the day I met you. Since you smiled at me when I took you to bury Pamela and I thought 'how the hell is she so strong?' I loved you when you laughed at my terrible

"I should give it back," I begged, trying to reverse the immortality. "Annitore, please, let me give it back—only your immortality can save you.""No." Her voice was so weak. "Keep it. Protect yourself. Promise me, Owaine.""Of what use is immortal, if you won't be here with me?"Her hand came up to touch my face. "Find a way," she whispered. "Bring me back. We have so much left to do. I'm not—" She coughed, blood speckling her lips. "I'm not done loving you.""I will," I swore, clutching her against my chest. "No matter how long it takes. I'll find a way to bring you back. Nothing will stop us. I promise. I promise."She smiled. "I know."And then she was gone.The light left her eyes. Her body went slack in my arms.And I screamed. The hunters tried to approach, tried to finish what they'd started, but fire erupted from my body in a wave that turned them all to ash in seconds.I didn't care. Didn't even notice.All I could see was Annitore lying lifeless on the ground. Then I used

The force of it sent Annie sprawling backwards. She hit the floor, her cheek already swelling, tasting blood where her teeth had cut the inside of her mouth.Belarie stood over her, breathing hard, staring at his hand as if it belonged to someone else.Like he couldn't believe what he'd just done.He stared at his hand as it had betrayed him.The impact still tingled in his palm. The sound of it still echoed in his ears.But the damage was done.Annie looked up at him from the floor, one hand pressed to her burning cheek, and saw something shift in his expression.Horror and realisation.And her face was flushed with both shock and fear. He'd put that there.What did I just do?His chest felt like it was caving in. Like his heart had cracked clean through and all the pieces were falling into some bottomless void inside him.And suddenly, with terrible clarity, he understood.He wasn't just in love with Annitore anymore.Somewhere along the way—watching Annie grow, creating her, obses

The knock on Kael's door was sharp and impatient.He opened it, and Katherine stood there, arms crossed, looking at him like he was a problem she needed to solve. Kael frowned. "What do you want?" Kael's voice was flat. "Did you miss your way? This isn't Killian's room.""Come with me," Katherine said without preamble, already turning away."What—"But she was already walking down the hall, her footsteps quick and purposeful.Kael stood there, flustered. His jaw tightened. Every instinct told him to slam the door and go back to bed. But something in the way she'd said it—something urgent, something final—made him follow.She didn't look back once. She just kept walking, through the corridors, down the stairs, straight toward the front door.They stepped outside and headed towards the driveway. Katherine pulled the car keys from her pocket and threw them at him without warning.Kael caught them reflexively. "What—where?""Drive.""To where?""To undo your binding spell."The words hi
