Ginnie**Kenna had given me twenty-four hours, but it felt more like twenty-four seconds. I tucked the wolfsbane-coated dagger into the waistband at the small of my back, feeling the cold steel against my skin as it digs into my palms.I halt when I reach the outside of Varko's bedroom door, trying to take a moment. I press my forehead to the wood. The tears begin to burn behind my eyes but I refuse to let them fall yet, until I’m inside, staring at his face.The warmth of the key still clung in my pocket from when I stole it. Kenna has now taken the seal and still has Lily.Her orders flowed smoothly through each syllable as she spoke.Twenty-four hours.To kill him.Confess.Or lose Lily forever.A chill rattles me, and I begin to feel my hand shake so badly I can barely turn the handle. The door opens with a soft click, like a gunshot in the silence.Varkos is already awake.He’s now sitting on the edge of the bed, his elbows on his knees, with his head bowed. The sheets were still

Kenna**My body stirred restlessly, refusing to sit still.Even though I tried—but the moment I lowered myself onto the chair, it felt like something inside me snapped back up again. My nerves were screaming too alive, like they couldn’t wait even a second longer. So I continued to pace back and forth across the room, the clicking sound of my heels striking the floor in sharp, uneven beats.

She can’t try to, not after everything I had set in motion. After all the risks I took to make this

Varkos**The second I slid my eyes open, darkness was the first thing that greeted me, pressing in from every side, like I had been buried beneath something I couldn’t fight my way out of. For a moment, my mind goes blank, lost somewhere between pain and confusion as I struggle to catch up with reality.Then an agonizing pain hit me, spreading through my body in sharp, burning waves, dragging a low groan from my chest as my eyes forced themselves open. Ginnie!My body reacts before my mind can fully process it. I try to push myself up, but the movement sends a violent surge of pain through my chest, forcing the air out of my lungs. I clenched my teeth, breathing hard as I forced myself to stay conscious.Then my eyes snapped down, noticing the blood, soaking through my clothes, still flowing steadily from the wound in my side. The arrow was gone now but the damage remained. The wolfsbane had done its job, because I could feel it spreading through me, dulling my strength, weakening
