The trees glowed with a soft, silver light, their leaves shimmering like stars. In the centre of the grove stood a massive tree, its trunk etched with ancient symbols that pulsed faintly.

POV: Mira The forest pulsed with an energy I couldn’t name. The air was thick, cold, wrapping around me as I stood at the clearing’s edge, moonlight cutting through the canopy.

Every step that had brought me to this place had been reluctant, every instinct telling me to run. But the bond wouldn’t let me.

The moon had barely sunk beneath the horizon when Derek stood at the edge of the forest, the air damp with fog and tension. The witch's map burned softly in his hand, the ink glowing like veins of molten gold as it shifted and twitched, revealing the route through the Darkwood. This wasn’t any ordinary forest. The trees here didn’t whisper like normal woods—they growled, creaked with malice, and breathed like something alive.

Three Days To Lyla's Birthday Lyla POV: I blinked open my eyes, and it took a moment to realize that the canopy of leaves above me was not a ceiling, and the earthen floor under my feet was not carpet. I was in a forest, but not just any forest—it was ethereal, ancient, almost sacred. Towering trees stretched as far as the eye could see, their thick branches woven together like the intricate stitches of a grand tapestry.

As they walked, the trees grew closer together, forming a tunnel of branches and leaves. Lila felt like she was being swallowed whole, the forest closing in around her. And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the tunnel ended. Lila stumbled out into a clearing, blinking in the bright sunlight.

Maybe I wanted to feel it crash over me, raw and consuming, and that terrified me more than anything. When we finally broke camp, the path wound deeper into the misted forest. The Lumenwild’s trees were black-veined, their bark slick with dew and strange runes that pulsed faintly when I passed, sending shivers across my skin like phantom touches. The air hummed, alive with memory and desire, thick and unspoken. Hours passed in uneasy quiet. I walked between Silas and Kyren, the space between us thick with tension neither of us acknowledged, but I felt it in every brush of wind, every glance that lingered too long on the sweat glistening at Kyren’s throat.

"CHAPTER 11… VALENTINA The silver glow on the horizon wouldn’t stop throbbing. Even after Luciano drifted back into sleep, even after Andres squeezed my hand and whispered he would stay by my side, even after Czer’s growl faded into the cold night… the light stayed, as though it had a vow to fulfill. The forest had gone quiet — unnaturally quiet. No insects, no wind. Even the trees seemed afraid to rustle. It felt as though we hadn’t just stepped out of the Rift Plane… but brought a piece of it back with us.

My words do not come out as an alpha’s command, rather as a desperate man’s plea. Liam raises his eyes to the ceiling above and sighs. He knows not to deny me. “Yes Alpha.“ ***** We stand at the edge of the forest as the moon rides high in the cloudless sky. Looking at the endless rows of pine trees that lie ahead, my eyes narrow into slits. “They came here?” Liam nods, his fingers clench into fists. He is tense and rightly so. We stand by a stream and it is a stream that once crossed, will lead us to the Sorcerress’ fortress, the Dark Forest.
