Melvin pov Melvin felt the weight of her honesty settle between them. He resisted the urge to fix it. Instead, he nodded. “That makes sense,” he said. Her shoulders relaxed slightly. “When safety arrives after chaos,” he continued, “it doesn’t feel like relief right away. It feels unfamiliar.” Lola swallowed. “I don’t want to sabotage this,” she said quietly. “But I don’t know how to trust that it won’t disappear.” He considered her words carefully. “I can’t promise permanence,” he said. “But I can promise consistency.”

It was an overwhelming sensation, a wave of history washing over her, leaving her breathless and awestruck. As they delved deeper into the ruins, they discovered fragments of the past – shattered pottery, crumbling statues, half-buried scrolls – each a piece of a puzzle they were only beginning to understand. The pottery shards revealed intricate designs, hinting at an advanced level of artistry and craftsmanship. The statues, though weathered and broken, depicted figures of immense power, their expressions a blend of serenity and authority. The scrolls, painstakingly pieced together by Ronan, revealed fragments of the city’s history, its rise and its fall, its connection to the entity they

“And Irene doesn’t want safety. She wants fire. She wants to burn.” I stood up, walking to the window. The grounds of the Silverclaw estate were covered in a fresh layer of snow. It looked peaceful. It was a lie. Underneath the white, the ground was frozen and hard. Just like this timeline. “You don’t understand, Zane,” I said, looking at my reflection in the glass. “You think this is just obsession. You think I’m chasing a skirt.” “Aren’t you?” I turned around, leaning back against the window sill. “I’m chasing a ghost. A ghost I created.”

"We have the 'Deep-Gut' entrance open!" We hit the cloud of metallic dust, the world turning into a gray-and-silver blur. I flared my wings at the last possible second, the mercury blades slicing through the air to slow our descent. We slammed into the mud of the "Grey-Sector" ruins, skidding fifty feet before crashing into the rusted remains of an old transport bus. I lay there for a second, the taste of salt and iron in my mouth. My Liquid-Light gown was a rag. My skin was covered in the "Lagos-grit" I had tried so hard to escape.

he said quietly. “Yes.” “Good.” His forehead rested lightly against mine. Not a kiss. Just contact. My eyes closed automatically. For a moment, we just breathed. Together. The city hummed faintly outside the windows. His thumb traced slowly along my jaw. “I could ruin your clarity right now,” he whispered. “You already have.” A faint sound escaped him. Not quite a laugh. “Say it,” he said. “Say what?” “That you want this.” I opened my eyes. “I want this.”

Caitlyn’s POV The Moonborn Ruins were not what I expected. I had imagined crumbling stone walls, vines reclaiming ancient structures, a place long forgotten by time. But what lay before me was something else entirely. The ruins still stood, eerily intact, their stone foundations gleaming under the silver moonlight. The air hummed with power, charged with something ancient and restless, as if the past itself had been preserved here, waiting for someone to unravel its secrets.

A thick cloud of dust rolled across the courtyard, choking the air and blocking the light of the sky. "Silas!" Killian shouted, his voice a ragged bark. "Kael!" There was no answer from the heap of ruins. The pile was a solid mountain of hot iron brackets and crushed brick, heat radiating from the mass in waves that shivered the cold air. "They are gone," I said, my voice flat as I struggled to my feet.

The wind that wove through the crumbling archways carried the scent of damp ash and something metallic, sharp enough to sting her nose. They moved as one, careful but quick, their footfalls muffled by centuries of dust and debris. The ruins were a maze—columns snapped in half, doorways leading to collapsed chambers, staircases ending in sheer drops. Seraphine’s mind flicked between memories of this place from the vision-threads and the reality before her now. It was wrong in subtle ways, as if the land itself had been twisted. A hollow boom echoed in the distance. Riven halted, tilting his head. “Not thunder,” he muttered.

And she hadn’t acted like I was her brother when she had kissed me back. I froze. My eyes drifting to the blood again. I was thinking about Chelsea’s soft lips when her father’s blood was still fresh on the floor. I was that sick in the head. That decrepit. “Someone needs to clean this shit up,” I said it again louder this time. I couldn’t stand to look at it anymore. “I’ve phoned a company.” Ruins voice took me by surprise. I hadn’t realised he had come up behind me. Which was surprising. Usually, I was good at watching my back. Especially against angry bikers and that’s exactly what Ruin was. He was literally vibrating with the need to cause someone pain.
