RuelleI was so close to finishing the book that I couldn’t bring myself to rest, even though it was already late at night.There were lives at stake. That wasn’t something I could ignore, not when the answers that might save them were sitting right in front of me.So I forced myself to stay awake, keeping the lamp lit as I worked at the small desk in my room. The rest of the estate had long since fallen silent. Everyone else was asleep, leaving me alone with the faint scratching of my pen and the occasional rustle of brittle pages.It also worked in my favor that the annoying werewolf wasn’t by my side.Whenever Pierce was near, I found myself distracted by the smallest things, especially when I caught him watching me with those intense amber eyes.It felt as though he noticed every little movement I made, even when he appeared occupied with something else. The way I tapped my fingers against the desk when I was frustrated. The way I bit the inside of my cheek while trying to deciphe

PierceRuelle instructed me to close my eyes. As she chanted the curse’s incantation, I slowly felt as though I were being pulled somewhere.When I opened my eyes, I saw darkness.Endless darkness.At first, there was nothing else. Then the darkness cleared like fog, slowly revealing my surroundings.I found myself in my room, but no light came through the window. It was dark outside. I stood near the bed, and my eyes widened when I saw who was sitting there, watching me with a warm smile.Ruelle wore a nightgown, her red hair flowing over her shoulders. There was a certain ease in the way she looked at me, something completely different from what I remembered. Her smile was warm and genuine, with no trace of fear. And the way she gazed at me...It felt as though she wanted my company.“I’m happy you’re finally home,” she said, her voice crystal clear in my ears.It was the same voice I had heard moments ago in the real world, but here, it sounded gentle. Loving.I had never heard he

PierceI sighed.Enough of this nonsense.Shadow fire poured from my body and drifted into the air like black mist. It gave off no heat. Unlike ordinary flames, it didn’t burn. It decayed. Wherever it spread, darkness crawled across the ground in thin, branching veins, consuming the illusion piece by piece.At first, I hadn’t planned to use anything this destructive. The filthy witch didn’t deserve a showcase of my power.But the bitch was getting under my skin, and I couldn’t afford to waste another minute inside this hellhole, not while I had no idea what was happening in the real world.Not while Ruelle might be suffering because of me.“W-what are you doing?” the witch’s voice stammered from somewhere within the void.A smirk pulled at my lips. “Oh, are you frightened now, witchy bitch?”Originally, I had intended to kill her and surrender her body to the council as evidence. That would no longer be possible.Once my shadow fire reduced her soul to nothing, the same would happen to

Ruelle“I did what I thought was right,” I said, looking away because I couldn’t seem to hold Pierce’s stare any longer.It was the kind of stare that sank through flesh and bone, settling somewhere deep as though staking a claim. I didn’t like it. I didn’t like feeling so exposed beneath his eyes, as though he could see every thought I was trying to hide.“You could have killed yourself.”His voice was quiet. Too quiet. There was something deadly beneath it that made my hand clench into a fist over the blanket.“But I lived, didn’t I? And I didn’t do it for your benefit. I did it because I wanted to make sure you could save those girls.”The excuse came out before I could stop it.I wasn’t sure why I had said that. When I’d cast the curse, all I had been able to think about was protecting Pierce from the witch’s illusion. Perhaps I was simply searching for a sensible explanation, one that would justify the foolish thing I had done without forcing me to admit how worried I had been ab

RuelleJane left to attend to the new flowers delivered to the estate, so I headed downstairs, intending to get some snacks for Ren from the kitchen.As I crossed the foyer, I encountered the visitor.Seraphine.I saw Lawrence walking away from her in the distance, and from the direction she was heading, she appeared ready to leave. Had she come on behalf of her father? If she had come to see Pierce, surely she would have remained with him in the pavilion.Or perhaps Pierce hadn’t asked her to stay.“You’re that woman,” Seraphine said when she noticed me.She stopped in front of me with a pleasant smile. She was dressed elegantly in a pale blue dress that fitted her slender figure perfectly, while I wore nothing more remarkable than a pencil skirt and a plain button-down shirt.“The one Caleb brought to Ren’s party,” she added.“Yes,” I replied curtly.“You’re Ren’s nanny, aren’t you?” Her smile widened. “I’m Seraphine, by the way. Although I heard you’ve been treated more like a guest
