But if I had created my realm then everything I willed was going to happen since I was going to be the master of it. Somehow I wished that I had known about this before I died and came here. Now that I was spending the last hours of my life here, I was thinking of all I was doing that I could have finished. I thought of all of the happy memories I had with my mates.

Whoever it was had a reason for becoming Delilah.” A cold realization hit me then. “And that night,” I whispered, “when she gave me that chamomile drink…” Sloane’s eyes sharpened. “Where is it now?” “Gone,” I said quietly. “The room burned. Everything burned.” She cursed under her breath. “Then keep your guard up. Because whoever did this isn’t finished.”

"Remember what happened at the bonfire? We were one step away from getting suspended." "I know," Evan replied. "But let me ask you something." "What?" "What if Finn slept with your sister and used her? What would you do?" I opened my mouth to answer but nothing came out. He nodded. "Yeah. That's what I thought."

Selene’s shadows writhed around her, ready to strike, but she didn’t move.

Selene catches him, her glow dimming to a fragile flicker. “Is it… over?” someone asks. No one answers. --- **Epilogue: Dawn’s Edge** The pyre burns high, Mara’s body wrapped in Bloodfang colors. Jarek stands apart, his face unreadable. Selene grips my arm, her voice raw. “The Shadow’s gone.
