Both went out to do as asked while I went back to my bedroom to take a shower before heading for work. ******************* River POV; Last night was a complete disaster. I remained speechless about what happened yesterday. I saw the impossible becoming possible and yet I couldn't wrap my head around it still. I just want to get out of here and see my family and Lucas. I missed my life, freedom, the ability to run freely, and most of all sunshine. I am so done with men trying to dominate me and boss me around. Eve left me almost around the morning. It was pitch black outside when she left but I knew it was morning because of the absence of moonlight. I haven't had any sleep since yesterday an

My friend's voice rose with each word, and she could not help but smack the table in frustration. I reached over to soothe her reddened hand, trying to calm her down. "Hey, it's okay. I live in Luminous City now, far away from all that drama. Things are looking up, right?" "Frank went way too far. I just can't fathom how he could treat you like that. How could he be so heartless?" Her words sent me into a brief reverie. Since arriving in Luminous City, my mentor had gotten the gist of my troubles and, not wanting me to wallow in sorrow, kept me busy with a slew of tasks.

*River* I sit in my office, feeling the weight of the world pressing down on my shoulders as I stare at the scattered papers on the desk. My beta, Kellan, leans against the wall, his arms crossed, while two of my most trusted warriors… Aiden and Marcus… fidget in their seats. The air is thick with tension, the kind that comes when something precious has been threatened, and we’re all scrambling to restore order. “Two days have passed, and we still don’t have a lead,” Kellan grumbles, his frustration palpable. “This wasn’t just a random attack, River. Whoever did this knew what they were doing. They were trying to kill her.”

he said before walking away as Rosalie scoffed, following behind them down closer to the water that had a rock bridge leading them across the water, where the waterfall was. “This is incredible,” she said as they crossed the river, “Yeah, it’s pretty amazing,” Genesis said as they took a seat on the big rocks near the river bank, “I’m jealous, you get to see and be here every day,” she said as they shrugged, “This place is special and all, but there isn’t much meaning to it when the people that gave it meaning in the first place and memories isn’t here to do so,” Giovanni said as Rosalie hummed, “What was it like, what were they like?” She asked as Genesis stared down at his leg that lay on

“Is that…” “Oh damn.” “I can’t believe it.” Ali, Shadow, and Ibrahim spoke in the order with a repulsive tone. Right in front of them, everything was so murky. Even the air stiffened with black dirt, the ground also turned black. Not to mention, the murky pungent river. “This river is the center of the stream, am I right?” Ali pushed aside his disgust and went straight into investigation mode. “I believe so. The map.” Ibrahim gestured at Shadow.

The river was a relentless, unforgiving god. It snatched our little skiff and hurtled us downstream, the world a dizzying blur of dark water, jagged rocks, and overhanging branches. I fought with the single oar, not to steer—that was impossible—but to keep us from being spun broadside and swamped. Every muscle screamed in protest. Elisse clung to my legs, her face buried, her small body shaking with silent sobs that were lost in the river’s roar.

But suddenly. “Mommy, Daddy.” A cry from a little girl echoes right in front of him and from the other end of the bridge. The night that is deep and quiet makes the crying echoes. The burning cars in front of them and the smell of intoxicating burns are raising. He stops crying, now pitying the little girl that just got his attention. He turns his gaze in front and saw the little one dressed in red, full of wounds, and crying hard. Her cheeks are red from crying and her nose seems to swell because of the same reason. The lights from the bridge made him see her clearly, or perhaps he is only seeing himself from her.

"She is already dead. How can a dead ghost compare to Adrian's living life? Gideon Frost, today I will teach you which matters more: the living or the dead." Mother took me from the guard with a cold face. Her hand closed around my throat without hesitation. Her eyes threatened Father openly. "Either you burn those ashes yourself today, or you will never see Eli again." I clawed at Mother's hand and struggled with all I had. "Father, don't..." As my face slowly turned purple, Father held Mother's gaze and smiled in grief. At last he nodded. His voice was hoarse beyond recognition. "Fine. I will burn them. Let Eli go."

I nod my head, and I keep going. "When Gabe met River, his world turned upside down, and I never thought I would see him so in love with someone like he is with that amazing woman, you know, he always said he would never find love my our parents did, a love that would make him cross the world, a love that would make him want to die to save that person's life, well I think he found it because he literally did all of that", I say and river winks at me.

Suddenly, they emerged from the trees, and a breathtaking sight unfolded before them. A crystal-clear river flowed effortlessly, its surface reflecting the sky above. The water cascaded over smooth rocks, creating a soothing melody. "Wow," Tristan breathed. "This is stunning." Lucien nodded, his eyes shining with pride. "Welcome to the River's Edge, the lifeblood of Dominion Pack. We're close now." Tristan walked towards the river's edge, feeling the cool mist on his skin. "I can see why this place is special. It's like a sanctuary."
