But the closet was empty. Suddenly, my strange behavior over the past few days started making sense. Panic rose in his chest. He tore through the room, yanking open drawers and searching through boxes. My passport and ID were gone. The noise woke Crispin. "Crispin, where's your mom?" Edgar asked, his voice sharp with fear.

The moon had already begun its descent when I arrived back at the clinic, the eerie stillness of the night settling in around me like a blanket. The events of the past few hours felt like a blur—fragments of conversations, whispered secrets, and the weight of my father’s disappearance pressing down on my chest. I had spent my whole life pushing away the idea that something extraordinary, something outside of the life I had known, was waiting for me. But now, with the journal in my hands and Luca’s words echoing in my mind, I couldn’t deny it any longer. I was part of something bigger.

"Everything you thought you knew about love, mates, and destiny will shatter." Then she vanished. Leaving me standing there. Shaking. Terrified. Because I felt it. The pull. The fourth bond. Already forming. Already calling to someone I hadn't met yet. Someone who was coming for me. And there was nothing I could do to stop it. END OF CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Several moments later he returned carrying a book unlike any I had ever seen. It had no title. Its cover was completely white. When he placed it in my hands, I noticed something even stranger. Every page was blank. Chaos looked intrigued. "I haven't seen that one in centuries." "What is it?" I asked. Order gently turned the first page. "A reflection." I frowned. "Of what?" He smiled softly. "A missing soul." Silence settled over the room. He looked at me. "Picture the one you're searching for." I closed my eyes.

“If they take me, the story goes dark! Everything gets erased!” Maya sprinted after the hand, boots clanging, grabbed the Author’s hand. “Don’t let go!” Maya shouted. But the pull was too strong. The Author started rising through the ceiling. “Maya! Listen!” she called, her voice growing distant. “The 100th chapter... the secret’s in the title! Find the title of the last page! That’s the only way to—” SNAP. She vanished. The office vanished. The copper armor faded away.

Mavric stood frozen in the center of the hall, while the doors behind them clicked and locked automatically one by one, trapping them inside a labyrinth of memories… and death. END OF CHAPTER 188.

Behind her, the mirror on her vanity gleamed faintly even in the dark—Seraphina’s voice whispering one last warning: “The distance grows, Mira. And soon… one of you will vanish.” --- End of Chapter 2 Next: Chapter 3 – “Experiments in Madness” Where Mira begins testing the curse, accidentally matchmaking the castle staff, and starts to uncover the real reason Seraphina’s soul still lingers.

If Chester had gone to such lengths to erase every trace of Dorothy, it could only mean she was still alive. I wrapped the blood-stained tooth in layers of tissue and hid it close to my body, tucked into the lining of my bra. … At 7:00 pm, Chester came home. The moment I heard the fingerprint lock click, I slipped back into bed, slowed my breathing, and let my eyes go dull and unfocused again. "Sophie, how are you feeling today?" He walked in, carrying the chill of the night and a faint trace of perfume. I stared blankly at the ceiling, my voice hoarse. "Chester, I have a splitting headache… Am I really insane? I thought I saw blood on the floor today."

The dark brown cover was worn smooth with age, and strange silver markings were pressed into the leather. Without thinking, I accepted it. The instant my fingers touched the cover, warmth spread across my palm. It wasn’t painful. If anything, the book almost felt…alive. “I think you’ve mistaken me for…” The rest of the sentence never came. The man had vanished. That’s so strange. Because I didn’t see him walking away.

People laughed, ordered drinks, argued over upcoming fights, and carried on as if nothing unusual had happened.

The investigator didn't answer immediately, but when he finally spoke, his voice sounded careful, very careful. "I suspect this wasn't random." "What wasn't random?" Ice flooded my veins. "The disappearance." The room became suffocating as every instinct inside me screamed that I wasn't going to like where this was heading. "The deeper I dig," he continued, "the stranger it gets."

I mean every trail leads back to the same names."
