Chapter 10

POV LioraWe stepped into the clearing, each of us hesitant, like intruders crossing a line we didn’t fully understand. The cabin loomed in front of us, darker now that we were closer, shadows pooling at its base. Rowan’s steps were quiet, controlled, and I stayed a careful pace behind him, Mae next to me, her usual grin subdued into a tight line of anticipation.Then she appeared.At first, I thought it was the sunlight playing tricks. A figure moved among the shadows, and my heart stuttered. She stepped forward, and the forest seemed to lean away, as if unwilling to touch her.She was stunning. Terrifying in a way that had nothing to do with fangs or claws. Her hair was silver-white, falling in soft waves to her waist, glinting with faint hints of moonlight, even in the morning. Her skin was pale, almost luminous, but not fragile—there was a hardness beneath the softness, the kind that spoke of centuries of surviving, enduring, ruling.Her eyes caught me first. Pale blue, ice-cold a

POV LioraThe Ancient One did not sit.She moved around us instead, slow and unhurried, her bare feet making no sound against the stone. Her presence pressed in from all sides, like the air had thickened just for her. Mae sat stiff beside me, hands knotted in her lap. Rowan stayed near the door, shoulders tight, like a man braced for a strike he couldn’t dodge.“Tell me,” the Ancient One said calmly, “why mortals believe becoming a monster will save them.”Her pale blue eyes fixed on me.I felt my throat tighten—but I didn’t look away.“Because I hid,” I said.The words surprised even me. They came out steady. Cold.“I hid when my village burned. I hid when I thought I couldn’t do anything. I listened. I watched. I survived.” My hands curled into fists. “And everyone else died.”The Ancient One stopped moving.I stood before she could say anything, the floor cold beneath my bare feet.“Now,” I continued, voice shaking but unbroken, “I’m choosing to become the monster who didn’t give a

POV Liora“Yes.”The word settled into the room like a final stone placed on a grave.The Ancient One did not raise her voice. She didn’t need to. Power hummed beneath the syllable, old and patient and absolute.“Yes,” she repeated, pale blue eyes lifting to meet mine. “I will change you.”My chest tightened—relief sharp enough to hurt—but it didn’t last.She turned her head slowly toward Rowan.“But not for free.”Rowan straightened instantly. Whatever weakness still lingered in him vanished beneath instinct. His shoulders squared, jaw locking like he’d just stepped onto a battlefield he knew too well.“I figured,” he said evenly.The Ancient One stood then, her movement unhurried, robes whispering against the floor. When she passed me, the air chilled—like stepping through a shadow that remembered winter.“Turning is not blood alone,” she said. “It is inheritance.”She stopped in front of Rowan.“And inheritance always comes with a price.”Mae glanced at me, eyes wide, but she staye

Chapter 13

POV LioraI asked her first.I remember that clearly—my voice steady despite the terror clawing up my spine. I asked her what I would become, what she would make of me if I said yes.A vampire, the ancient one had answered, as if it were nothing more than a fact of weather.So when the pain begins, I know exactly what it means.It hits all at once.Fire erupts beneath my skin, not from the outside in, but from the deepest parts of me—my blood igniting in my veins, my bones screaming as if they are being pulled apart and reforged. I arch instinctively, a sound tearing from my throat before I can stop it.This isn’t pain meant to kill.This is pain meant to change.It feels like my body is being rewritten cell by cell, every weakness burned out and replaced with something stronger, colder. Heat floods my chest, my limbs, my skull. My heart stutters—once, twice—then seizes entirely.There is a moment of terrifying clarity.This is the point of no return.Then the burning intensifies.I f
