MY TURN

Chapter 299ElowenI took a deep breath, tightening my muscles as I prepared to launch my distraction. I could feel the raw, untamed energy in my veins waiting to be released. But just as I braced my feet against the floorboards to take a step forward, the light in the room violently flickered and died.The scent of copper and the heavy presence of Kain and Matteo vanished into thin air.Before I could even gasp, a wave of familiar, suffocating cold wrapped around my shoulders. The polished floor beneath my feet turned into cheap, splintered linoleum. The high ceiling dissolved into water-stained acoustic tiles, and the smell of industrial cleaner mixed with stale cabbage filled my nose.My heart dropped into my stomach. I looked down at my hands and realized they were tiny, scraped, and trembling. I was wearing a faded, oversized smock that didn't fit.I was back in the orphanage.A cold dread seized my throat. I hated this place more than anywhere else on earth. This was the place

Chapter 300ElowenThe shock on Christopher Harding’s face lasted only a fraction of a second before his expression darkened into absolute fury. He scrambled up from his wooden chair, his fingers tightening as he prepared to cast another illusion to blind us.But I didn't give him the chance to breathe."Now!" I screamed through our mental link, unleashing the distraction I had promised.I didn't try to use complex magic. I simply focused on the heavy wooden chair Harding had just vacated. Pushing all my anger, my adrenaline, and my newly awakened power toward it, I slammed my hands forward through the air. The heavy chair violently launched off the floorboards, flying straight at Harding’s torso like a missile.Harding gasped, forced to duck and throw his arms up to deflect the flying furniture with a hasty burst of defensive force. The chair shattered into splinters against his magical shield, but the sudden physical distraction broke his concentration completely. His grip on our

AND THAT WAS ENOUGH

Chapter 301ElowenBefore we could even move from where we stood, the loud, piercing sound of police sirens cut through the quiet night air. Red and blue lights began flashing violently through the windows, lighting up the dark, empty room.Christopher Harding was slumped on the floor, bleeding heavily from his side. As he looked up at me, knowing his time was running out, a dark, chilling smile touched his lips."You think you've won, Elowen?" he whispered, his voice weak but full of malice. "By shattering my illusion and creating your own, you just unlocked a power you don't even understand. You've changed everything." I didn't answer him.He leaned his head back against the wall, a twisted, breathless smile on his face. "The pureblood circles... the High Coven... they will feel the awakening of a hybrid lineage. They will know exactly what you are, and what your children are. I was the only one keeping you hidden from them. I was the only one who could contain you. Now? You are pr

EXACTLY WHERE I BELONGED

Chapter 302For the next two days, the house remained in a state of quiet protection. Nobody asked me what had happened in that cellar. Neither Kain nor Matteo pressed me for a single detail about Christopher Harding or how I had managed to break through his magic. They stayed by my side, taking turns bringing me warm meals, brushing through my tangled hair, and holding me whenever the smell of old wood and iron made me gasp awake in the middle of the night. They were giving me the time I needed to heal, allowing the silence of the house to wrap around me like a protective blanket.By the third morning, the heavy fog in my mind had finally started to clear. I woke up to the warm Italian sunlight streaming through the sheer curtains, feeling the familiar, steady weight of Matteo’s arm over my waist and Kain’s chest pressed against my back. The terrifying confusion of the courthouse and the neighboring bunker felt distant now, replaced by the solid reality of the bedroom.I sat up s
