The handwriting was messy, the ink faded, but the words were clear enough to make out. The hidden chamber lies beneath the roots of the ancient oak, where the first Alpha of Silverwood made his vow.

The girl I put through ten years of school stood up at her own graduation and thanked me in front of everyone. A second later, three translucent lines appeared in front of my eyes. [She will steal the Prescott family's trade secrets, start her own company, and turn on you.] [She will publish an essay and put the internet on your family. Your wife will die of a heart attack.] [Prescott Logistics will fold. The estate will go to auction. You will die in front of the men you owe.] I stared at her. "Vanessa. Have you spent all these years filing away everything we did for you as a reason to hate us?" She blinked at me, wide-eyed and innocent. That was when I understood. The snake was al

I murmured. POV: Darius Kai always forgot one thing: He ruled the forest. But I ruled the dark between the trees. I leaned against an old oak some distance from the ridge, hands in my pockets, head tilted back to watch the moon carve silver through the branches.

The mirror before him reflected a weary face, contorted by disgust at being deceived by such cheap lies. And the price he paid was to lose me—the one who really mattered to him. - Meanwhile, I had returned to my pack in the depths of the forest. I was sitting by the window when an owl quietly landed on the windowsill with a small envelope—a secret letter from Lulu. [Daniel had the doctors examine Anna against her will. The Souleater Vine's poisoning was fake, but she is confirmed to be two months pregnant.] I quietly read through it, and held the letter near my candle, letting its flame lick it and quickly reducing it to ashes floating into the night.

“Hold on to me. Don’t let go, okay? Just like before. Do you remember?” She nodded and held on.

The base of the tree was burning properly now, bark peeling back from the heat, the roots going black. The branch split another inch under my feet. Nora’s hands tightened around my neck.

Eighty feet of tree and the root ball had let go — she could see it happening, the slow terrible arc of it, the crown swinging through the dark like the arm of something vast making a final gesture, branches churning the air, the trunk in free fall toward the house and — Someone was at the north corner of the house. He had come around from the front, she understood later — come around to check the seal on the east side before coming in, one last look, fifteen seconds that changed everything — and the oak came down and the crown caught him as he moved, caught him across his upper body and drove him into the ground and the sound of it drove the air from her lungs as though she had been hit her

I got out of bed and texted Aaron to tell him to meet me on the patio. The lightning and dark clouds frightened me. Why hasn't my fear of rain overcome me, even after I've already defeated that monster? Standing on my patio under the dark sky made me so afraid that I decided to go back inside. I'll meet him somewhere else this morning. I don't think it's a good idea to wait for him on the terrace. I turned around to go back to my room. That's when my gaze fell on the oak tree. Thunder and lightning struck the oak tree, revealing a blood-stained face shining beneath it.

she began, her voice soft as she closed her eyes briefly, taking a deep breath. “We’ve gone over the book hoping for a clue about the oak tree, but there wasn’t anything,” I explained, my frustration evident in my tone. “That’s because we hid it, because we couldn’t trust the Werewolves,” Naomi said, her eyes narrowing as she shot a glare at Bas. “The Werewolves always believed they were immortal, the greatest and most powerful creatures on Earth. But one day, the witches found the oak tree—a loophole given by the universe. When the Werewolves found out, they saw us as a threat, killing every witch they knew and destroying all the oak trees. But there was one. So my ancestors created this bo

“When she gave you the ability to hide your scent, where did you go to ask her for help?” The woman glanced at Oliver, who looked as equally as baffled as she was. “That old oak tree.” She pointed to a large majestic tree, that sat directly at the edge of the clearing, we walked over to it and noticed a pattern carved deeply into the bark… “it’s the lunar cycle.” “The Luna oak!” Oliver quickly dropped to his knees in front of the tree out of respect. “I’ve only ever seen pictures… It’s said that the original lycans planted it, in respect of the goddess herself.” It was the perfect place for me to attempt to make contact again.

There was always a possibility of someone attacking me or who knew how welcoming the Elves were going to be. I found the oak tree when the sun was just about to set in the horizon. The tree was taller than any of the trees in this forest. And the second bizarre thing; it was the only oak tree I had seen in this forest until now.
