she said shrewdly. The room went out of focus, like I'd been standing in a watercolor painting, as the house and the contemporary décor changed. Sharra's clothing did as well. The oversized hat, old lady shirt, and capris were replaced by a sleek black dress that looked to be made of rubber; it hugged her curves, the collar high but still revealing a lot of cleavage. Her hair was slicked back and hanging in a long ponytail. Her staff appeared as did my wings - or rather, the wings that used to be mine.

She lets out a backhanded sigh, her eyes scanning my ruined undergarments and dirty knees with a flash of pure, malicious satisfaction. “A fallen lady has so little left to cling to. It’s only natural she’d make mistakes.” The sheer, staggering level of white-lotus bullshit radiating off her makes the bile rise in my throat. I keep my mouth shut, my expression hollow, playing the pathetic victim they expect. Suddenly, from the corner of my eye, I notice the heavy wooden door of the wardrobe shift. It creaks open a fraction of an inch. A tiny, dense shadow—almost invisible to the naked eye—slips out from the base of the wood, sliding across the floorboards like ink toward the tea cart resting

“Today is just making it official.” A sharp knock interrupted whatever I was about to say. “Sophie!” Jessica's voice came through the door. “We need to get you ready!” Christian groaned. “They're early.” “They're excited.” I kissed him quickly and climbed out of bed, wrapping a sheet around myself. “Let them in before they break down the door.” Maria and Jessica burst in carrying what looked like a wedding dress made by wolves. “Holy shit,” I breathed. “Traditional Luna robes.” Maria held up the white silk, which was covered in intricate silver embroidery. “Every Shadow Ridge Luna has worn these and added her own embroidery.”

Something to focus on besides the agony in her chest. Well, if they wanted to pretend she didn't exist, she'd show them exactly who Lyra Ashwood was. She'd show them what they'd thrown away. She'd make them see her. She walked toward the front door of the pack house. Her jaw was set. Her amber eyes were blazing. Her spine was straight. It was time to crash this party.

Lilah's POV : The dress Ivan picked for me was both a masterpiece and a weapon. Crimson satin clung to my body like a second skin, the neckline plunging scandalously low, exposing far more than I was comfortable with. The slit that ran up my thigh was equally indecent, every step threatening to reveal more. My hair had been styled into soft waves cascading over my shoulders, and diamonds sparkled at my neck and ears, catching the faint light of the hallway.

On Wednesday night, Lydia changed her outfit four different times before deciding on a black denim mini and silver camisole. Flat black sandals and a pair of silver hoop earrings completed the outfit. She was thirty now. Not a huge deal in cosmic terms perhaps but a big enough one for her. It made her relationship with Galen sound a little better, she thought, if he could just tell people "oh, she's in her thirties."

“Shadows only bow to one thing. Power that surpasses theirs.” Before I could react, the portal pulsed again. A figure stepped through. The shadows parted around her like she was the center of gravity itself. My breath froze. Lysandra. Stepmother. Queen. Dressed in a gown of shimmering black, embroidered with purple sigils that pulsed like bleeding stars. Her crown glinted with dark diamonds. Her smile was gentle and cruel at once. She walked on the Earth’s soil as if she had always belonged here. She looked around, taking in the wolves, the fallen soldiers, the glow around me.

“Didn’t mean it like that.” Her chest tightened. She bit the inside of her cheek, fighting the urge to step back, to cut the moment short. She should’ve walked away already. Should’ve brushed past him, locked herself in the changing room, buried all of this beneath her skin again. But her legs stayed rooted. And then she noticed it. The shadows. Not the ones cast by the corridor lights, sharp and ordinary. These were slower. Deliberate. Alive. Hers stretched out from her feet, flickering at the edges. His shifted too, curling forward. And then, inch by inch, they reached for one another.

Exactly 3pm in the afternoon when I moved to prepare. I took another shower, but it was brief since I had already broken a sweat. After showering, I changed my clothes. I wore a simple black shirt, gray jogging pants, and white rubber shoes. I left my hair down to let it dry. I also applied some powder to my face and a touch of lipstick. I slid my phone and my nearly empty wallet into the pockets of my jogging pants. I put on a black cap and brought a facemask along.

Sasha complimented, emphasizing the word "stunning." "And you look magnificent," Lila replied. Sasha was adorned in her signature Gothic attire, wearing a black ball gown with delicate lace and ruffled layers around the neckline and sleeves. A silver-laced corset enhanced her waist, and a necklace with an elaborate pendant complemented her gothic elegance. A wide-brimmed hat adorned with crimson roses and a black veil completed her ensemble. Her makeup featured dark, smoky eyes and deep burgundy lips.
