"I made the difficult decision to sacrifice myself for the sake of our pack, for our family. It was my last resort to ensure Devin's defeat and protect all those we hold dear."

she said, her tone light, but laced with sorrow. I let out a slow sigh, setting the teacup down with trembling fingers. “In the last few moons, I’ve come to a painful realization,” I admitted, my voice almost a whisper. “One of us must sacrifice ourselves. Either me or Zevarion. We’re the two most directly bound to Xareth.” She nodded, her smile bittersweet. “That is true. But understanding cannot be gifted through words alone. You had to live it. Feel it. That’s why the book waited.”

I slapped him hard across the face. "I can't stand betrayal, Matthew. You let another woman carry your child. "You've crossed the line," I said, my voice dripping with disgust. Matthew's world seemed to crumble as he let out a roar, shaking his head like he was trying to wake up from a nightmare.

She wanted to make sure he made it to the North and back here safely.” “She lost her life for my son…” “We swore to protect your children with our lives,” I said quietly. “And Velmara kept her promise. Don’t carry this guilt. Don’t blame yourself.” “But how could I not?” Tessa whispered, her eyes swimming with pain and helplessness. Even as I spoke those words, I knew the truth.

--- **Zara’s Last Gift** Her essence flickers beside me, barely more than a wisp. *“The prison needs a lock. A life for a life.”* “No more sacrifices!” I shout. *“It’s already done.”* Her smile is a ghost of memory. *“Tell Selene… I’m proud.”* She dissolves, her light merging with the roots.

Gravel slid under her heel, and she almost lost it. “Shit,” she breathed. It came sideways—no telegraph—cutting for her belly. She got the baton down late. The impact of the direwolf jarred her arms to the elbows, but it stopped its teeth. Sloppy, but it worked. She stumbled with the force, hip clipping the Armco barrier, metal ringing from the impact. The direwolf smelled the imbalance and pressed. “Back,” she snapped—at herself as much as it was that the direwolf’s breath was in her face.

"No, please..." "How dare you feast on your King's sacrifice?" Alexander spoke, and the maid shrunk, hiding her face. "Sacrifice," the word echoed in Dua's head. She looked at Alexander, and then at the maid, then at Alexander again. "No," she muttered, her feet giving away as she fell unconscious. Alexander moved swiftly, catching her before she reached the ground. The door opened, and a guard walked in, going on one knee before Alexander. "Your Majesty."

“I’m not here to save you, I’m here to save my daughter, but I’m offering you a way out, turn yourself in, get treatment, start over, somewhere quiet, somewhere safe, I’ll make sure you have enough to live, anonymously, no prison, no headlines, just, peace, if you want it.” Tessa stared at her.

the guards ask. That’s when it hits me. I reach under the collar of my shirt and pull out my small gold chain that says “Love”. I am so embarrassed.
