LEVI'S POVBrooks' body kept fading away. It was happening so gradually that anyone who wasn't paying close attention might have missed it, but I saw every change.Every hour seemed to steal a little more of her. The warmth that usually lingered beneath her skin had begun to disappear, and there were moments when I reached for her hand only to feel nothing.By the following morning, things had become so much worse that Brooks started to hide from Rowan. Her own son.She couldn't bear letting him see what was happening to her, so she quietly began avoiding him altogether.Whenever he came looking for her and before he arrived from school, she would stay locked up in our room pretending to be busy, or ask one of the servants to keep him occupied somewhere else in the palace.She never complained about it, but I knew every second away from our son hurt her far more than she allowed herself to show.More than once, I caught her standing outside his room. She would stop just in front of th

BROOK'S POVI was a complete mess of emotions.It felt impossible to believe that everything had fallen apart this quickly. It was as though we had been pulled into a storm before we even had the chance to understand what was happening, and every attempt to find our way out only seemed to push us deeper into something we couldn't control.I hadn't seen Levi since yesterday afternoon. But I knew him too well and knew that he was somewhere searching for a solution or a loophole.Without a second thought, I picked up my phone and called Dagon who picked immediately."Hello?""Brooks..."I could barely hear anything. His voice was barely audible, weak enough that I had to strain just to understand the words. It sounded as though every sentence required more strength than he had left to give.A knot tightened painfully in my stomach."There's still no other solution?"The silence that followed was answer enough."The solution still remains the same. You must be there with Levi tomorrow mor

We wasted no time. Brooks picked Rowan up and we hurried to the car with the guards. Within minutes, we were on the way back to the palace.Theo had finally found something after we had spent the entire night searching through my father's study together and had found absolutely nothing.There was a bit of hope now.The moment we got to the palace and the car came to a stop, Brooks and I stepped out without wasting another second and rushed into the living room.Rowan looked between the two of us curiously as Brooks gently set him down on his feet and called over one of the maids who stood nearby."Please prepare Rowan for bed."The maid bowed her head immediately."Yes, my queen."Rowan looked up at Brooks with a slight tilt of his head."Aren't you coming, mummy?" he asked, looking a bit reluctant to head upstairs just yet.Brooks offered him a warm smile."We'll come and see you later," she promised softly, reaching out to brush a stray strand of hair from his forehead.He accepted

BROOK'S POVI tightened my hands together as I stared through the window, watching the roads pass by one after another. Neither Levi and I had spoken much since we got into the car.Every passing minute brought us closer to Dagon, and no matter how many times I reminded myself that we finally knew the truth, I couldn't stop the nervousness sitting heavily in my chest.I kept thinking about everything that had happened over the past two days. Everything had unraveled so quickly that I still hadn't fully caught up with it.One moment I had believed Levi was going to die to save me, and we were making last memories. The next we had discovered that everything Dagon had told us had been all lies.Even now, knowing we had a plan, I couldn't shake the fear that something unexpected would happen before we could see it through.Levi must have noticed how quiet I had become because he reached over and gently took my hand. His fingers laced through mine, and he gave my hand a reassuring squeeze

BROOK'S POVThe scream that tore from my throat wasn't human at all. It was so unnatural, terrifying and monstrous, echoing through the air with a raw, primal fury that felt loud enough to shatter everything in its path.Every hair on my body stood on end as the scream echoed, stretching far as though the entire world had heard it.Dagon was violently ripped away from me before he could even react. His body flew backward as though a massive invisible hand had seized him, sending him crashing across the ground with so much force.The ground beneath me began to shake. At first, it was only a faint tremor, but within seconds it became so violent. The earth rumbled beneath me with a deafening roar, and deep cracks split across the clearing in every direction.Then the ground split open with an explosion that sent dirt and shattered stone flying through the air.A freezing wind erupted from the darkness below, and hundreds of pale ghosts burst out all at once.Their forms flickered like li

LEVI'S POVIt had been two agonizing days since Brooks collapsed into my arms and went unconscious.Two endless days that felt more like years, and she still had not opened her eyes.I had spent so many hours sitting beside her bed that I no longer remembered what proper sleep felt like. Every time exhaustion forced my eyes closed, I woke only moments later, convinced I had heard her voice or seen her fingers move.Every single time, I was wrong.Brooks remained exactly where she had been since the moment we brought her back to the palace.Her breathing was slow and steady, and her face looked so peaceful that it only made everything worse. She appeared to be sleeping, but she wasn't.Every healer in the kingdom had assured me that she was unharmed. Every witch who had examined her had reached the same conclusion. They had done everything possible, and yet, she refused to wake.I leaned forward and gently brushed a loose strand of hair away from her face before taking her hand into mi

EPILOGUE BROOK'S POV Three years had passed far more quickly than I ever thought they would. Some mornings I still woke up expecting to see a tiny baby sleeping peacefully in the cradle beside our bed, only to remember that our little girl had somehow grown into an energetic three-year-old who believed the entire palace was her playground. Today was Maeve's third birthday, and the palace had been alive with excitement since before sunrise. Servants hurried through the corridors carrying fresh flowers, ribbons, trays of desserts, and beautifully wrapped gifts. The chefs worked tirelessly in the kitchens, preparing enough food to feed what felt like an entire kingdom. Levi had insisted that our daughter deserved the biggest celebration we had ever held, and nobody had argued with him. The gardens had been transformed into something that looked as though it belonged inside a fairy tale. Long strands of pink, white and silver ribbons hung gracefully from the branches of towering
