And that was because he thought I was going to hurt Charlotte? I had to compliment him for his bravery, but his action of shifting, because he thought I was going to hurt Charlotte made me believe that their relationship was not as simple as only being friends. The anger in my heart pike up again, and I clenched my fists so hard that we all could hear the sounds of my knuckles crackling. I looked at Nathaniel’s wolf form. He was dark brown in color with black fur only around one of his eyes. That one spot of black fur made him look menacing, and it somehow reminded me of a pirate who had an eye patch over one eye.

Scarlet was a distant past, and Athena was my present and future. The thought of a life with Scarlet seemed absurd, especially after dreaming of a future with Athena. Giving up on her was inconceivable. Even though Athena's words spoke of Nate, something felt off. The love I saw in her eyes, the promises we made – they clashed with the farewell in the letter. Her mention of overhearing Panton and Scarlet set off alarms. A puzzle needed solving. Athena had assured me she felt nothing for Nate, and in those moments, her eyes had spoken truth. Something wasn't adding up.

ity and order. The weeks that followed were a jumble of antiseptic chambers, brief visits from the glacially indifferent Dr. Corvan, and Natalie's constant, unbearable ennui. She immediately learned to despise the limitations of her recovery rooms, not for their basic accommodations but for how they reflected the suffocating control Hawthorne and his ilk intended to exercise. Natalie first noticed the whispering during one of these interminable stretches, when her mind was numbed by hours of ceiling-tracing inanity. At first, she rejected them as auditory hallucinations caused by her lonely insanity. But the relentless, jumbled murmuring remained, always there enough to poke at the frayed ed

However, it was still working. Hunter let out a huff as Nathaniel mentally frowned in his head and remembered another time and place when this particular gift did this. However, he was sure that the causes behind it were destroyed. This had to be something else... Something like Silas had used on Scarlett, hiding her from them

Her eyes were fixed on Rebecca, sharp and narrow. ​"The letter," Scarlet cut in, her voice flat, testing the air. "The one that threatened Mr. Carson Hemswood. The one delivered without a sender. That was your hand?" ​Rebecca turned her tear-streaked face toward Scarlet, giving a single, slow nod. ​"I wrote it," Rebecca whispered. "I wanted the past to walk into his room at night. I wanted him to feel the breath of what he helped create, driven by a mother whose greed has no floor and no ceiling."

Amelia glanced at Daniel’s letter. Then at the young cedar tree outside the window. She smiled. “I think that’s exactly what my father wanted.” ⸻ Far to the north, beyond familiar shipping routes, Julian Ashcroft guided his small vessel through dense morning fog. Nathaniel’s journal rested open on the cabin table. He had read it dozens of times. Yet today he noticed something new. A folded page hidden inside the back cover. He carefully removed it. It wasn’t written by Nathaniel. The handwriting was older.

Just as he took a step, Nathaniel spoke, his voice lower, tainted with a bitter weakness that pricked at his soul. "I wasn't happy with that deal. I think you already know that. I had forsaken my crew and that pulled at what heart I have. I expect obedience, expect them to go along with whatever course I set. But I overstepped the mark, even if they benefited." He sighed, turning his back. He didn't want Lloyd to see the pain it caused. Worse than those early days. "So, I decided to scour all the books I had. And attempt to find one on that island who could help." 1745

A legacy now threatened. Behind me, the heavy wooden doors creaked open and shut. I didn't have to look to know it was Nathaniel. His scent—cedarwood and smoke—wrapped around me, grounding my thoughts. His large hand slid around my waist, pulling me gently into him. His warmth seeped into me, but my heart still beat like war drums. “We’ll figure this out,” he murmured into my hair. “Whatever the witches meant, we’ll find the truth before they do.”

Though the discomfort remained, he tried hard to push it aside. “Does Lilly like him? If not, don’t force her to go.” “Lilly really likes Milton. We’ve gone out together before, and it was very enjoyable.” Mr. Hawthorne nodded slowly. “Good.” Natalie took his silence as consent for Lilly to go, and she chose not to say more. However, something else bothered her, so she decided to speak again, “Some women have come to me, asking about our relationship.” Since their marriage ended, Mr. Hawthorne had shown a hidden dark side. Women became pawns in the network he built. It was part of his personal vendetta against the world that had shunned him. Mr. Hawthorne thought the women who approached Nat

"Meanwhile, Hadley didn't dare to struggle anymore." "He looked at Nathaniel and pleaded, ""Mr. Ye, if I confess, will you let me go?""" Let's see what you have to say. "Nathaniel didn't promise him anything. However, Hadley didn't dare to lie to him upon seeing his licentious attitude." "After all, he was one of Boston's men, and he had worked under Boston for many years. Clearly, he knew Nathaniel's character and his principle of handling things.
