All Chapters of The Heiress Torn Between Worlds : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Ellia POV The world seemed to freeze around me " ...did not die."No, this is wrong, I thought furiously over and over again in my head." What? "I barely managed to get the word out."The child... " "...survived?"The Oracle gave me a knowing look. "For a time.""For a time!?" I exclaimed in disbelief, "The child lived long enough... for fate to intervene? None of this makes sense!""Then let me make it clear to you," the Oracle said before she was interrupted once more by Erevos."No."He spoke with a tone of finality as he turned towards the Oracle. "You would still keep secrets from me?""I would.""You've kept it from me for seven centuries!""I know.""And look where it has brought us?" Erevos said nothing in reply. For the first time since I met him, he looked h

Ellia POV No one said anything.No one moved. Those two massive golden eyes loomed over the broken horizon, regarding us with an unnatural patience. It was…Ancient. Older than the Moon Goddess. Older than the werewolf kingdoms. Even my wolf, which had been unusually restless all night, was silent inside my chest, tucked away and afraid.That, more than anything, terrified me. “What…” I whispered."…is that?" No one responded. Kael slowly lowered his sword. "Erevos."His voice was grim. "You've seen the old records.""What are we looking at?" Erevos didn't take his eyes off the sky. "I prayed…""…I'd never see those eyes again." A chill craw

Ellia POV Silence dragged behind us on the return from the prison. No one said anything. Not Cassien. Not Reis. Not even me. The words Erevos had spoken echoed too loudly in my skull. The Moon Goddess lied to all of you . Logically, I knew better. I knew that every word Erevos had ever said to me had been twisted, hidden, and kept from me, but that didn't stop the chill that ran down my spine at his accusation.Because if he was telling the truth…No.I would not think about that now. Not yet. ⸻ The palace gates opened before us. At once, warriors gathered around us. "Alpha!"“Is Lady Ellia alright?”Cassien gave a short nod to the warriors surrounding us. "Return to your duties."  They saluted immediately before turni

Ellia POVThe next morning I made my decision. I would no longer let them decide what to believe in. Cassien.Erevos. The Council.The Moon Goddess. From now on I will find the answers myself. I barely had the strength to leave my chambers when I nearly ran into Reis. He looked as if he hadn't gotten any sleep at all. "Good morning," I said. " Lady Ellia." He hesitated. "I need to speak with you." Something in his voice made me narrow my eyes. "What happened?" " Not here." He glanced down the corridor before leading me into an empty strategy room.As soon as the door was closed behind us, he began. "I paid Erevos a visit." I froze. "You...

Ellia POV I couldn't catch my breath. The memories. They weren't just memories. They had emotion. They had weight. I could still hear the screams inside my head. I shook off the blanket and stumbled towards the washroom. I splashed water on my face. Again and again.It didn't help. When I looked up in the mirror, for a fleeting moment, there was another face staring back at me.Silver hair, gold eyes. Gone in an instant. "No.." I gripped the sink so hard that my knuckles turned white. "I'm Ellia." Not Lilith.Ellia. The reflection stilled and changed back to my own face. "Ellia?" It was Cassien's voice. I quickly wiped my cheeks, "I'm coming." When I opened the door, his face was dark with concern.
