“But when it all falls apart, don’t come looking for me to pick up the pieces.” Lucia walked out of the Lair, the cold night air biting at her skin, but she didn’t care. Inside, she is burning with a new purpose. If Dylan wants to chase after Phoenix, she will stop him. And she will make sure that by the time he reaches her, nothing will be the same again, not even him.

“I can feel the network — satellites, servers, signals. He’s in all of them. Watching.” Lucia pulled her scarf tighter, her voice unsteady. “We need to leave this country now.” But Elena’s gaze was fixed on the horizon. “It won’t matter where we go. He’ll find me.” --- Back in Florence, the storm had passed, but the city felt… different. Quieter. Too quiet. The streets were wet, reflecting streetlights like broken glass. The three of them made it back to their apartment before dawn, exhaustion weighing on every breath. Lucia immediately went to her desk, connecting to her backup drive. The moment she opened her laptop, golden static flickered across the screen.

“Stay away from Lucia.” Her lips parted as if to reply— “Hunter.” Lucia’s voice cut through the air and I turned immediately. She stood at the end of the hallway, arms crossed and eyes sharp like she was annoyed. There was something else too, something darker. “You’re late,” she remarked pointedly. “We had plans.” Juliana glanced between us, something unreadable crossing her face. I walked past Juliana without another word and stopped in front of Lucia. “Yeah,” I said quietly. “Let’s go.”

Chapter five The morning sun crept through the tall, sheer curtains of Lucia’s room, casting soft gold across the bedsheets. She blinked awake slowly, stretching her arms above her head. The events of the previous night, the mansion, the dinner, Lorenzo’s teasing lingered in her memory like a strange, vivid dream. She sat up and noticed a neatly folded piece of paper on the bedside table. Curious, she reached for it. Lucia, I had to leave early for an urgent business trip. Out of the country. I’ll be back in a few days. In the meantime, make yourself comfortable. A doctor will come to check your ankle later. If you need anything, ask any of the staff.

One way or another, she needed this over. A floorboard creaked, and her heart leapt into her throat. Ryder prowled into the room, his grey eyes glinting with a malicious hunger. "My sweet Luna," he purred, advancing upon her. "You've been a bad girl again, haven't you? You deserve everything you’re going to get tonight.” Lucia's pulse pounded in her ears as he grabbed her, pressing his mouth bruisingly against hers. She fought the urge to gag at his stale whiskey breath. She shook her head, trying to get away from him.

His fingers moved before his brain caught up, dialing a number he hadn't called in three years. It rang. Once. Twice. A click. "Hello?" A woman's voice. Sleepy. Wary. The sound of her made something in his chest rupture. "Lila." Silence. A beat. Two. He could hear her breathing. "This is Aurelia. You have the wrong number." The line went dead. Lucian stared at the phone in his hand. The rain kept falling. The study stayed dark. The cracked desk held its new scar. *She changed her name.*

"But it happened.The reason... The reason why Lucian doesn't want to have anything to do with me is because of her. It's Clarissa. She's back from the dead and back to complete whatever she started" It was at this point Mrs Lena thought Chloe has lost it. It's been years since the search for Clarissa was proved futile. Many came up with the fact that she was dead. So what's Chloe spouting? "Did you hit your head somewhere?" Asked Lena for Chloe to frown. She wanted to lash out on Mrs Lena but held it in and instead continued to pour out more years from her eye lids. "I'm saying the truth. Remember I told you I've been suspecting Lucian to be seeing someone just didn't know who.

Wolves knew better than to cross a Duskbane. She had timed it carefully. Lucian had ridden out at dusk to answer a rogue disturbance near the borders. He would not return until dawn. That gave her hours. Enough for whispers to spread like wildfire. Enough for Bella to stumble into ruin. The thought made Lilith’s lips curve. She pictured it clearly: Bella’s gray-green eyes widening, her fragile little mouth parting in shock, her soft human heart breaking at the sight of Lucian’s bed defiled by another. She will leave, Lilith thought. She must leave. And when she does, the pack will see the truth: a human was never meant to be Luna.

Marissa pov Tonight was tiring. I don't need to wonder about what Alaric thought of me, I will always be a manipulative whore to him. At this point I don't care. Nova. I will see my beautiful baby soon, I will fight for her with everything I have got. “We have arrived,” Lucien said. We walked out of the car, I turned to face him, he smiled at me, opening his arms to me for a hug. “You did well, Lucia” Lucien praised me,
