I turned to see Lucy stomping across the line moments later, her face red with fury. “You think you’re so clever, don’t you?” she snapped, storming up to me. I raised an eyebrow, still catching my breath. “No, I think I’m just faster than you. Or is that what’s bothering you?” Her eyes narrowed dangerously. “You got lucky.” “Maybe,” I said with a shrug. “But luck counts too, doesn’t it?” Before Lucy could say anything else, Lady Regina’s voice rang out over the field. “Ladies, well done! Tamara, congratulations on your win in this round.”

Matthew, feeling a bit bored, teased her for a while before finally going to bed himself. … The next morning, as soon as Lucy checked her phone, she found it flooded with messages from Luna. "Lucy, please help me! They’re back again. I really need the money now..." Lucy stared at the messages for several minutes, feeling overwhelmed. Luna was truly relentless. Did her fingers not get tired from all that typing? Lucy replied, "I’m working on it. Just stay calm and follow my instructions, okay?" Luna replied instantly with a simple response followed by more messages of gratitude, so much so that Lucy felt like putting her phone away.

“Then listen to me like I listened to you. Stay.” Elena returned with linens and a steaming basin, her hands shaking as she placed them down. Lucy barely glanced at her. “Go,” she said softly but firmly. “I’ll call if I need you.” When the door shut, Lucy’s composure cracked. She tore at Gabriel’s bloodied shirt with trembling fingers, revealing the wound a deep, jagged cut along his ribs, crimson seeping with every breath. “Oh God,” she whispered, her vision swimming. Gabriel’s hand caught hers, weak but steady enough to stop her spiral. “I’ve… had worse.”

He was left stupefied to find Seventy five missed calls from his Dad and eight text messages all addressing the new girl they rescued (Valentine). " And one. " As Zander finished the count, they all broke the door open and barged in. "Shit!" They stepped back looking at the scenario in front of their eyes. Lucy was lying lifeless on the ground with both the wrists of hers slitted and bleeding, her eyes wide open and body turning cold. Tbc...

There’s something going on here,’ Athena informed me. Lucy’s eyes wandered around the room, realizing that she was fucked. There was no getting out of this after what she had just shouted out. This made her dangerous because she probably felt like she had nothing to lose. A chill ran down my spine when our eyes met. They were cold and void of the warmth that used to be in them. Had she been that good of an actor all of this time? It was too late when I noticed that she was no longer cuffed to the table. It seemed like everything happened in slow motion…

“Well, whatever it is, let's get this done. I'm not spending another night in this smelly stable.” Lucy nodded, forcing herself to focus. She plunged her shovel into the straw, scooping it into the waiting bowl. The repetitive motion helped calm her racing thoughts, but the image of Aiden kept creeping back. After a short moment of scraping and silence between Lucy and Marie. Marie paused, leaning on her shovel, her chest rising and falling with a dramatic sigh. “After today,” she said, her voice low but laced with anticipation. “There's just one day left. One day to the full moon.”

Meanwhile… Lucy who was now in her room in a night dress sitting on the dressing chair stared at her eyes which had been flashing golden for a while. Her discomfort had long disappeared which was unnatural, she had been more sensitive after the curse was transferred. *Hey, hey Lucy, Lily!* she heard a voice in her head, she stood up immediately and the door creaked open. “Are you okay, dear Lily” Kael asked worriedly as he came in, seeing her so frightened and agitated. “I'm fine, I'm fine, what is going on” she asked instead, as she maintained her composure. She couldn't afford to divert Kael's attention from whatever serious case they had now.

I looked up to see her standing in front of me, her eyes filled with something I couldn’t quite place. “Thank you,” she said. “For what?” I asked, genuinely confused. “For caring,” she said, a small smile playing on her lips. Before I could respond, she turned and walked away, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I watched her go, my heart aching with emotions I didn’t fully understand. But one thing was clear. Ash and Beta Andy had made a mistake. And they were going to pay for it. No matter what it took. As Lucy left the room, the faint sound of a howl echoed in the distance, sending chills down my spine. Something was coming, and it wasn’t just an attack but a big secret open up.

“I said… I’ll read!” “Yes, you will! But after your punishment! Once the nexus is complete, you’ll be gone and do you think I will ever punish my lord? No, this is a suffering you have brought on yourself like your father did ages ago! If you have to blame anyone, blame yourself, Kian!” Aamna and Jackson cried. Their bodies glowed, and the glow converged into small threads that seemed to have originated from their hearts. The ends of the threads reached out to one another like hands trying to save one another from a fall. The glowing threads merged into one.

"Then why don't you mark me? Feed from me?" Horror plastered itself all over my face. "No. I will not take your mind like that." "Would it be enough to save Gabriel?" Yes. Just enough for an edge. "Tell me! Is it enough?" Lucy shouted. Through gritted teeth, my throat thick with ache. "Yes." "Then do it," Lucy demanded. She dropped her jacket, revealing her creamy throat to me. The scent of strawberries hit me and my fangs cut through my gums, darkness swirling in my eyes. I held on tight to my control.
