He tilted his head slightly, eyes gleaming. "But you weren’t the first." The forest seemed to breathe around them. The trees whispering. The bond shivering beneath Lyla’s feet. Eli tensed beside her. "What are you talking about?" The man spread his arms. "We were here before Silverwood. Before Blackwood. Before Ridge." His pack stepped into view now, no longer hiding. They were strong. Scarred. Marked by a history that Lyla had never been taught. The man’s voice was calm, but there was steel beneath it.

"You're insane." "What's new?" I chuckled and waited for him to arrive. "You don't have to go through anything alone anymore." I sighed. "I know. I just thought it would bother you to come back here," I admitted. "Me?" he was incredulous. "Roman, this isn't about me." The village was in shambles, ten times than it was before. My breath hitched as I picked up another scent of a past presence. Khai growled silently beside me. Azraels, they must have been here before, again.

"I don't know." Liana frowned. "You don't know?" "He existed before I did." The First Light moved closer. "I remember something." Everyone looked at it. The First Light's glow dimmed. "Before I was the First Light, I saw two beings." Liana stared. "Two?" "Choice and Memory." Caelum looked confused. "If Memory existed before the Witness, where is he now?" The First Light looked toward the collapsing field. "He was never gone." Liana felt a chill.

he begs. I kept on crying not knowing what to say, "I don't know what to tell you,I tried so hard to get over you but anyone I went out always had a love Before Me. I always compared them to you,I wanted to hate you but I couldn't" I cried,he pulls me to him and hugged me "This it is going to be different,you'll be the only one,there is no one before or after you.

It’s watching us.” “The fire?” “No. Us. Before the fire. Before the power. Before we chose each other.” She paused. “It remembers who we were before we became weapons.” He gave her hand a gentle squeeze. “Then let’s show it who we are now.” They walked deeper.
