Elias whispered, “This used to be ours.” Lucas nodded again. “It still is. But now it means something different.”

Moving slowly, I remain close enough to see where the two are going but far enough to not come across as suspicious, and when we reach the club in question, I take a seat in a booth that is shrouded by shadows but allows me to watch my songbird as she sits at the bar downing red stag and coke, her signature favorite.

In a moment of heart-wrenching farewell, I whispered my goodbyes, a silent acknowledgement of the void that would remain. "I am sorry, my baby; please forgive me." My wolf howled in protest. I spoke to her with a heavy heart. "I am sorry; I have to do this. I promise we'll be fine," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I raised the wolfsbane to my lips with firm determination. The bitter liquid carried the weight of broken dreams. The poison burned its way through me. Unable to hold on any longer, I threw the bottle on the ground, where it shattered into a million pieces.

I heaved a breath of relief the moment I saw him standing before me, safe and sound. I ran up to him immediately and hugged him as tightly as I could. I wasn't able to stop my tears from flowing freely down my face. "You nearly scared me to death! I thought you weren't coming back to me…" Adriano endured the pain as he gently patted my back.

The stakes were rising, and with Jessica, Tesla, and Gregory all maneuvering for power, it was only a matter of time before everything came crashing down.

He reached out to grab me, but the neighbors stepped in and stopped him. Out of options, he pulled out the bracelet, hoping it would stir something inside me. "Lily, I need to give this back to you." I snatched the bracelet and hurled it to the ground, shattering it. "Simon, everything you give me, even your love, feels so cheap." I sneered at his pale, defeated face.

"And I'm guessing, you want your poet too?" He asked. "I want it all. That's why I end up with nothing. Always. Greedy. Wanting more and more. I'm never satisfied, Mr. Hades." He smirked.
