"Even if you're the strongest wolf alive, you can't fight the whole world when your children are in their hands. They can control you that way, and I don't want that." Byron's voice almost broke as he looked at me. Ron nodded in agreement. "He's telling the truth. I don't think..." Ron stopped mid-sentence and suddenly looked at Byron. Then he turned toward me, as if wondering whether I had noticed it too. I followed his gaze to Byron, and that was when I noticed it. Strange bluish veins spread across his neck, crawling up toward his temples, across his cheeks, lips, and even around his eyes. More veins stretched downward beneath his collar.

Like a precious lost treasure, she held the book in her hands with the inscription "The Book of the Banshees" etched like gold on the cover. Evelyn's eyes were trained on the book, lost in the sight of it like an invisible specter tethering her thoughts and focus to one single point.

A voice called from behind her. Startled, the book fell from her hands to the grass while she clutched her chest. She turned around and watched the man from the dining room stroll into the garden casually with hands in his pockets—mind you nothing about his movement or look was casual. Toned arms with veins that ran as far as her eyes could see. Shoulders so broad she knew he could throw her over them effortlessly. Why? She cringed. Just why would she be thinking about him that way? “You startled me.” She looked at him with all the confusion she was feeling.

“That’s because no matter where we are, no matter what happens next...our hearts will always meet in the same place.” She swallowed, her pulse unsteady. “And where is that?” His blue eyes burned into hers. “With each other.” Elena’s breath hitched. Because it was true. They had fought. They had bled. They had broken. But in the end, their hearts had always found their way back. And now, finally, they were exactly where they were meant to be. The End!

Any thermometer would have failed to measure what I could see what I could feel. There were black veins. Thin, unnatural lines moving beneath his skin, like living ink made of shadow itself. They pulsed, spreading with each heartbeat. I had seen similar cases, but nothing like this. They’d started at his ankles, creeping upward, pulsing with an intensity that made my chest tighten. Now they had reached his waist. If they crossed any further, spread past that point, he’d be gone. Not in the usual medical sense. Gone entirely. I pressed my fingers against his wrist again, feeling the pulse. Weak, but it was there. Just barely.

For saying it out loud when I had no idea what to do with it. The dark veins had spread further overnight. I’d noticed it the moment I’d walked in this morning — or what passed for morning, time having lost most of its meaning. They crawled up his neck now, visible above the collar of the hospital gown. Black tendrils, branching and spreading like cracks in ice, reaching toward his jaw, his face. Dr. Hayes said they were close to his heart. I hadn’t let myself think too hard about what that meant. The door opened. I didn’t look up. I didn’t have the energy for whoever it was, whatever they needed from me.

Instead, they bled harder and thicker, flooding the floor until it reached their ankles. A loud crash echoed behind them. Another book had fallen, heavy as a coffin. This one spilled fire instead of blood. Golden flames flowed from its pages, spreading across the shelves and casting an eerie glow throughout the aisle. Camela turned around, as her heart raced. “What…what is that one?” she asked. Vincent’s face went pale, and his fire flickered. “It’s mine,” he replied. The book opened with a sharp crack, and its pages bled with his essence: his fire, his chains, and the smile he wore when he pulled her into the hall…with the threads he had wrapped around her wrists.

That final foot would never land. The hand gripping the sword began to shake. At first, just a faint tremor in the knuckles. Then his entire hand convulsed violently, like an old man too frail to hold a teacup steady. He stared down at his own hand, his pupils shrinking to needlepoints. Black veins erupted beneath his skin, starting from his fingertips. They didn't surface from the outside. They leaked upward from within his blood vessels, every dark line spreading along the pathways of his veins.
