News of it will soon get to us” I blurted out and tried to cover my mouth with my hand but it was too late.

"Tomorrow will come one way or another. Might as well welcome it rested." As I walked back to our cabin, I looked up at the stars scattered across the blackness of night. Out among them somewhere, an army marched towards us with determined purpose. Darkness that defied nature, demons that wouldn't stay dead, enemies who wanted nothing less than our complete destruction. But for one night, however, I'd had family. Tonight, I'd belonged to something complete. Tonight, I'd been valued because just I was. But. Tomorrow would be war.

Dad was already issuing commands at the training grounds. Warriors lined up, ready but uncertain. Then—just as the last light of day disappeared— The howls began. Low. Sharp. Endless. The first wave hit the eastern border with brutal force. The war had begun. And somehow, I knew this was only the beginning.

“It isn’t.” “When?” “Tomorrow morning.” He pauses, surprised by the immediate acceptance. “You’re not even going to pretend reluctance?” “There’s no advantage in delay.” I end the call before he responds. Lydia looks up. “That was him.” “Yes.” “And?” “We meet tomorrow.” Her expression tightens slightly. “The war part begins now.” “It began the moment he walked away.” I set the phone aside and meet her gaze fully. Across the room, the evening light settles around her, softening the sharp edges she usually carries like armor.

I looked at the man I loved,‍ bat⁠tered but unbroken. My stom‌ach churned again‌—nausea, sha‌rp and su​dd​en. I swallowed it down. "Tomo‌rrow,​" I said, p​icking up the⁠ deed.‌ "W‌e go to war.⁠"

As he leaned back, a sinister satisfaction on his face, I knew that this encounter marked the beginning of a battle I never wanted to fight—a battle for Emma's safety and my own sanity. The pain of fear gripped me, a knot in my chest tightening with every passing moment, as I faced the harrowing reality of Adriano's return.

The Day Lily Accidentally Started a War The war began over a cookie. God. A single cookie. Fair. One innocent cookie. Reasonable honestly. The kind nobody would remember tomorrow. God. Or at least that was the theory. Fair. Reality disagreed. Reasonable. Strongly. God. The afternoon had started beautifully. Fair. The ocean sparkled beyond the terrace. Reasonable. A cool breeze drifted through the house. God. Everything peaceful. Fair. Everything calm. Reasonable honestly.

The tension was palpable. Then, after a beat, Lena grinned. “Well, that’s good enough for me.” One by one, the others followed. The war had begun. And for the first time, we weren’t alone.

“I will fight with my last breath to protect you and the children. No one will take you from me, Elise. Not while I still stand.” Tears stung my eyes.
